Coloring the Noise: Adversarial Sobolev Alignment for Faithful Image Super Resolution
The paper presents a new framework called ASASR for image super-resolution that addresses the limitations of existing generative methods. It focuses on aligning the generative flow with the natural image manifold by using a Sobolev-induced Riemannian geometry. The results indicate that ASASR significantly improves spectral consistency and structural fidelity compared to leading generative baselines.
- ▪ASASR aims to overcome the spectral misalignment in image super-resolution.
- ▪The framework utilizes a parametric adversary based on the Riesz Representation Theorem.
- ▪Extensive evaluations show that ASASR outperforms existing generative methods in preserving image quality.
