MagnifiQ: Patch-aware Text Guided Progressive Upscaling for High-Resolution Image Restoration
High-resolution image restoration from degraded inputs is challenging because it must preserve global structural consistency while recovering fine-grained local details, especially at 4K resolution where direct diffusion-based restoration is computationally expensive and prone to repeated or inconsistent textures. In this work, we introduce MagnifiQ, an image restoration framework that progressively upscales and restores images across resolutions, e.g., from 1024x1024 to 4096x4096. Our approach leverages a pre-trained text-to-image diffusion model such as SDXL and adapts it for more scalable high-resolution inference by replacing its original self-attention layers with convolutional opera...
