USTC & Zhixiang Future: Strong Model Foundation, Lightweight Model Refinement, Reshaping Video Super-Resolution Experience | CVPR 2026
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China and Zhixiang Future have developed PS-SR, a novel video super-resolution technique that balances speed and detail. The method employs a powerful base model for initial structure restoration, followed by a lightweight draft model for fine-grained detail enhancement. This pseudo-single-step approach aims to provide high-quality video upscaling suitable for large-scale deployment, addressing issues like texture clarity, structural stability, and frame-to-frame consistency.
