Distribution Matching Enables Better Use of Pretrained Diffusion Priors for Super-Resolution

2000, Jan 01    

Distribution Matching Super-Resolution (DM-SR)

DM-SR aims at developing a Practical Algorithm for Real-world Super-Resolution. DM-SR leverages the generative capabilities of a pretrained diffusion model, while requiring only a single step to perform super-resolution.


Demo

The following images show a comparison between our DM-SR results and bicubic upsampling. You can drag the slider to visually compare the two methods side by side.


Visual Comparisons

The left half shows the bicubic upsampled image, while the right half displays the super-resolved result produced by our DM-SR method. Please zoom in for better view.
