PRISM: Prior Rectification and Uncertainty-Aware Structure Modeling for Diffusion-Based Text Image Super-Resolution

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

PRISM is a diffusion-based framework for text image super-resolution that uses flow-matching prior rectification and uncertainty-aware residual encoding to improve accuracy under severe degradation, achieving state-of-the-art performance with millisecond-level inference.

Text image super-resolution (Text-SR) requires more than visually plausible detail synthesis: slight errors in stroke topology may alter character identity and break readability. Existing methods improve text fidelity with stronger recognition-based or generative priors, yet they still face two unresolved challenges under severe degradation: the text condition extracted from low-quality inputs can itself be unreliable, and a plausible global prior does not fully determine fine-grained stroke boundaries. We present PRISM, a single-step diffusion-based Text-SR framework that addresses these two challenges through Flow-Matching Prior Rectification (FMPR) and a Structure-guided Uncertainty-aware Residual Encoder (SURE). FMPR constructs a privileged training-time prior from paired low-quality/high-quality latents and learns a flow matching that transports degraded embeddings toward this restoration-oriented prior space, yielding more accurate and reliable global text guidance. SURE further predicts uncertainty-aware structural residuals to selectively absorb reliable local boundary evidence while suppressing ambiguous stroke cues. Together, these components enable explicit global prior rectification and local structure refinement within a single diffusion restoration pass. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world benchmarks show that PRISM achieves state-of-the-art performance with millisecond-level inference.

Abstract

PRISM is a diffusion-based text super-resolution framework that improves accuracy under severe degradation by using flow-matching prior rectification and uncertainty-aware residual encoding.

Text image super-resolution (Text-SR) requires more than visually plausible detail synthesis: slight errors instroke topologymay alter character identity and break readability. Existing methods improve text fidelity with stronger recognition-based or generative priors, yet they still face two unresolved challenges under severe degradation: thetext conditionextracted from low-quality inputs can itself be unreliable, and a plausibleglobal priordoes not fully determine fine-grained stroke boundaries. We present PRISM, a single-stepdiffusion-based Text-SRframework that addresses these two challenges throughFlow-Matching Prior Rectification(FMPR) and aStructure-guided Uncertainty-aware Residual Encoder(SURE).FMPRconstructs a privileged training-time prior from paired low-quality/high-quality latents and learns aflow matchingthat transports degraded embeddings toward this restoration-oriented prior space, yielding more accurate and reliable global text guidance.SUREfurther predicts uncertainty-aware structural residuals to selectively absorb reliable local boundary evidence while suppressing ambiguous stroke cues.

PRISM: Principled Reference Identification for Schrodinger Bridge Model

arXiv cs.LG

PRISM introduces a theory for designing reference processes in Schrödinger bridge models, showing that under finite computational budgets the optimal reference noise spectrum is determined by the sensor's information destruction spectrum. Experiments confirm the theory in Gaussian settings and identify where real images deviate.
