• Abstract: As the most perceptually powerful Face Video Super-Resolution (FVSR) method, existing works in Generative FVSR (GFVSR) mainly exploit the generative prior of pretrained diffusion models. However, viewed as full generation, they suffer from fixed sampling and expensive inference costs if without large-scale auxiliary training. Furthermore, an excessive pursuit of generic perceptual metrics often results in low fidelity. To address these issues, we present Dynamic Trajectory Initialization (DTI) paradigm for GFVSR, which reformulates GFVSR as an input-driven directional restoration. With a novel enhancement-and-injection conditioning mechanism for pretrained DiT backbone, fidelity of our model has been significantly improved without compromising perceptual quality. To dynamically set the starting sampling point, we propose a Discriminative Guide (DG) trained via objective Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) alignment. With only minor model adaptation and fine-tuning, our method achieves a SOTA overall performance across diverse metrics and benchmarks. An analysis of relationship between actual comprehensive quality and common metrics is also conducted, which demonstrates the perception-distortion trade-off and that the LPIPS is the most convincing metric in our case.
