CVPR 2026 | The 7-minute 4K spectacle supporting the Spring Festival Gala in Hefei: PS-SR allows video super-resolution without compromising between speed and quality
Researchers have developed PS-SR, a novel "pseudo-single-step" video super-resolution framework that balances speed and quality. This approach uses a powerful base model for initial global structure and a lighter draft model for detail enhancement, inspired by speculative diffusion techniques. The method was accepted by CVPR 2026 and demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing 4K footage for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, achieving near single-step speeds with multi-step diffusion quality.
