FlowSR achieves single-step image super-resolution with diffusion models

Researchers have developed FlowSR, a new method for image super-resolution that significantly speeds up the process using diffusion models. This approach reformulates super-resolution as a rectified flow from low-resolution to high-resolution images, enabling high-quality results in a single step. FlowSR incorporates HR regularization for precise convergence to the ground truth and a fast-slow scheduling strategy to balance efficiency with fine-grained texture detail. AI

IMPACT Accelerates image super-resolution tasks by enabling high-quality results in a single step using diffusion models.

    Fast Image Super-Resolution via Consistency Rectified Flow

    Diffusion models (DMs) have demonstrated remarkable success in real-world image super-resolution (SR), yet their reliance on time-consuming multi-step sampling largely hinders their practical applications. While recent efforts have introduced few- or single-step solutions, existi…
