• Abstract summary: Single-image super-resolution (SISR) typically focuses on restoring various degraded low-resolution (LR) images to a single high-resolution (HR) image. It is often challenging for models to simultaneously maintain high quality and rapid sampling while preserving diversity in details and texture features. This challenge can lead to issues such as model collapse, lack of rich details and texture features in the reconstructed HR images, and excessive time consumption for model sampling.

• Abstract: Single-image super-resolution (SISR) typically focuses on restoring various degraded low-resolution (LR) images to a single high-resolution (HR) image. However, during SISR tasks, it is often challenging for models to simultaneously maintain high quality and rapid sampling while preserving diversity in details and texture features. This challenge can lead to issues such as model collapse, lack of rich details and texture features in the reconstructed HR images, and excessive time consumption for model sampling. To address these problems, this paper proposes a Latent Feature-oriented Diffusion Probability Model (LDDPM). First, we designed a conditional encoder capable of effectively encoding LR images, reducing the solution space for model image reconstruction and thereby improving the quality of the reconstructed images. We then employed a normalized flow and multimodal adversarial training, learning from complex multimodal distributions, to model the denoising distribution. Doing so boosts the generative modeling capabilities within a minimal number of sampling steps. Experimental comparisons of our proposed model with existing SISR methods on mainstream datasets demonstrate that our model reconstructs more realistic HR images and achieves better performance on multiple evaluation metrics, providing a fresh perspective for tackling SISR tasks.

  Diffusion model-based image restoration (IR) aims to use diffusion models to recover high-quality (HQ) images from degraded images, achieving promising performance. Most existing methods need long serial sampling chains to restore HQ images step-by-step, resulting in expensive sampling time and high computation costs. In this work, we aim to rethink the diffusion model-based IR models through a different perspective, i.e., a deep equilibrium (DEQ) fixed point system, called DeqIR.

  We propose a hierarchical conditional flow (HCFlow) as a unified framework for image SR and image rescaling. HCFlow learns a mapping between HR and LR image pairs by modelling the distribution of the LR image and the rest high-frequency component simultaneously. To further enhance the performance, other losses such as perceptual loss and GAN loss are combined with the commonly used negative log-likelihood loss in training.

  Existing facial image super-resolution (SR) methods focus mostly on improving artificially down-sampled low-resolution (LR) imagery. Previous unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods address this issue by training a model using unpaired genuine LR and HR data. This renders the model overstretched with two tasks: consistifying the visual characteristics and enhancing the image resolution. We formulate a method that joins the advantages of conventional SR and UDA models.
