Unified image restoration (UIR) aims to recover high-quality (HQ) content from low-quality (LQ) images with different degradations using a single model. Most recent methods adapt large pretrained text-to-image (T2I) latent diffusion models for their strong capacity and generative priors.
BudgetPix introduces a compute‑adaptive tokenization framework for pixel‑space image diffusion, dynamically allocating computational resources based on visual complexity and spatial layout. It comprises an adaptive encoder using an entropy‑guided quadtree and multi‑scale patch embedder, a scale‑aware decoder, and a flexible training schedule that allows pixel‑space denoisers to operate across variable token counts. The method integrates with existing diffusion architectures, achieving comparable fidelity to larger models while using only a fraction of the compute budget, and demonstrates improved quality‑efficiency tradeoffs in both text‑to‑image and class‑conditional generation.
