10.48550/arXiv.2603.26134A lightweight diffusion framework for efficient and temporally consistent video super-resolution.
Abstract
Video super-resolution (VSR) seeks to reconstruct high-resolution frames from low-resolution inputs. While diffusion-based methods have substantially improved perceptual quality, extending them to video remains challenging for two reasons: strong generative priors can introduce temporal instability, and multi-frame diffusion pipelines are often too expensive for practical deployment. To address both challenges simultaneously, we propose InstaVSR, a lightweight diffusion framework for efficient video super-resolution. InstaVSR combines three ingredients: (1) a pruned one-step diffusion backbone that removes several costly components from conventional diffusion-based VSR pipelines, (2) recurrent training with flow-guided temporal regularization to improve frame-to-frame stability, and (3) dual-space adversarial learning in latent and pixel spaces to preserve perceptual quality after backbone simplification. On an NVIDIA RTX 4090, InstaVSR processes a 30-frame video at 2K$\times$2K resolution in under one minute with only 7 GB of memory usage, substantially reducing the computational cost compared to existing diffusion-based methods while maintaining favorable perceptual quality with significantly smoother temporal transitions.

WHY NOW
Video Super-Resolution moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 5.0/10.
we propose InstaVSR, a lightweight diffusion framework for efficient video super-resolution.
The abstract explicitly states this as the core proposal of the paper.
partial
InstaVSR combines three ingredients: (1) a pruned one-step diffusion backbone that removes several costly components from conventional diffusion-based VSR pipelines, (2) recurrent training with flow-guided temporal regularization to improve frame-to-frame stability, and (3) dual-space adversarial learning in latent and pixel spaces to preserve perceptual quality after backbone simplification.
The abstract clearly lists these three components as the key ingredients of InstaVSR.
