HiTokSR uses a coarse-to-fine hierarchical tokenizer with frequency-aware sub-codebooks, vision foundation model priors, and index perturbation to achieve state-of-the-art perceptual quality and fidelity in real-world image super-resolution.
DRM turns a pre-trained diffusion model into a step-wise reward model and uses it for dense RL training (Step-wise GRPO) and guided sampling to improve final image quality.
RevealLayer decomposes natural images into multiple RGBA layers using diffusion models with region-aware attention, occlusion-guided adaptation, and a composite loss, outperforming prior methods on a new benchmark dataset.
Q-Probe introduces the first agentic IQA framework that scales to high resolutions using context-aware probing, a new Vista-Bench benchmark, and three-stage training to reach state-of-the-art performance across scales.
UHD-GCN-BIQA models structural dependencies among sampled patches via a hybrid kNN graph and residual graph convolutions to achieve competitive PLCC and SRCC with the lowest RMSE on the UHD-IQA benchmark for blind ultra-high-definition image quality assessment.
A plug-and-play RL method adds batch-level distributional supervision via CCC rewards to reduce regression-to-the-mean in MLLMs on imbalanced regression benchmarks.
A new Distortion Graph task with PandaSet dataset and PandaBench benchmark allows region-wise distortion analysis in image pairs, where current MLLMs fail even with region cues.
Q-DeepSight proposes a think-with-image multimodal CoT framework trained via RL with perceptual curriculum rewards and evidence gradient filtering to achieve SOTA IQA performance and enable training-free perceptual refinement in image generation.
