New diffusion model tackles film restoration challenges

Researchers have developed HaineiFRDM, a novel diffusion model designed for film restoration, particularly effective under challenging conditions like fast motion and diverse defects. This model addresses issues such as structural distortion and limb disappearance by leveraging content modeling capabilities. To enable high-resolution restoration, HaineiFRDM employs a patch-wise strategy with global fusion modules for cross-patch coherence, a frequency-based module for texture consistency, and a patch-consistent inference framework to minimize artifacts. The team also created a new dataset for film restoration and demonstrated that their method achieves superior restoration quality with strong structural consistency, while also reducing memory requirements for high-resolution tasks.

    HaineiFRDM: Structure-Preserving Diffusion for Film Restoration under Fast Motion and Diverse Defects

    arXiv:2512.24946v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Existing film-restoration methods frequently fail under fast motion, producing limb disappearance and structural distortion due to inaccurate motion modeling. Moreover, high-resolution restoration under spatially-persistent and …
