PixelIR: Fidelity-Perception Decoupling via Pixel-Space Image-Residual Flow Matching for Efficient One-Step Real-World Super-Resolution

Real-world image super-resolution (Real-ISR) aims to preserve structures supported by the degraded observation while reconstructing perceptually realistic details. However, existing Real-ISR methods largely optimize fidelity and perceptual quality within a shared network, causing the two objectives to interfere throughout training and making their balance difficult to control. Recent one-step methods reduce sampling steps, yet often inherit both this coupled optimization behavior and the expensive high-resolution backbone of their multi-step predecessors. We argue that efficient Real-ISR requires not only a shorter sampling trajectory, but also specialized modeling of faithful reconstruction and perceptual detail synthesis. Based on this insight, we propose PixelIR, a fidelity-perception decoupling framework built upon pixel-space image-residual flow matching. PixelIR first learns an image flow that maps the degraded observation to a faithful reconstruction. Then, a residual flow synthesizes the missing perceptual details from noise without repeatedly relearning or overwriting the complete restoration solution. We further distill the teacher into a deployment-oriented one-step student within a coarse-to-fine pyramid architecture. Extensive experiments show that PixelIR achieves leading PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS on both RealSR and DRealSR. The final model completes pixel-space restoration in a single evaluation with only 32.9M parameters, 89.7G MACs, and 8.5ms latency, demonstrating a strong practical fidelity-perception-efficiency balance.

RAGDiffusion++: From Macro-Retrieval to Micro-Fidelity Alignment for Garment Generation

Standard clothing asset generation---restoring forward-facing flat-lay garment images from diverse real-world contexts---holds immense commercial value yet demands both macroscopic topological accuracy and microscopic physical fidelity. Although our previous work RAGDiffusion effectively eradicated large-scale structural hallucinations via retrieval-augmented macro-constraints, achieving industrial-grade micro-texture realism remains an unsolved bottleneck. We formally identify this limitation as High-Frequency Trajectory Collapse: supervised fine-tuning (SFT) converges to the conditional mean of the training distribution, which is dominated by smooth, low-frequency textures, causing high-frequency patterns (e.g., fabric weaves, intricate logos) to become nearly un-sampleable. Naively applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) post-training further triggers Artifact Hacking, where models exploit semantic biases in generic reward models by generating deceptive checkerboard noise. Our key insight is that RL can fundamentally reshape the sampling distribution of flow models---elevating the probability of high-fidelity trajectories under accurate reward guidance---while adversarial regularization prevents exploitation of reward blind spots. Realizing this principle requires three prerequisites: (i)inherent capacity, established through a 27,725-pair high-complexity garment dataset (STGarment-Plus) and a Dual-Image-Stream FLUX architecture upgrade; (ii)perceptive reward, provided by a novel attribute-aware reward model (Garment-RM) trained on 500K images via fine-grained contrastive learning, achieving 84.67% human preference accuracy; and (iii)hacking prevention, enforced by our Adversarial-Regularized GRPO (AR-GRPO) strategy that integrates a dynamic discriminator into the RL sampling trajectory to penalize artifacts while enriching authentic high-frequency details.

ODMA-based MIMO Massive Unsourced Random Access with Soft-Output Polar Codes

This paper investigates the design of the on-off division multiple access (ODMA) transmission scheme for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) massive unsourced random access (URA) systems with soft-output (SO) polar codes. First, a three-segment pilot-uncoupled coding scheme is introduced under the ODMA framework, which reduces the coding rate of the data segment without increasing the transmission overhead, improving the overall system performance. Building upon this architecture, a hierarchical pattern detection framework is developed. Specifically, a coarse-grained candidate set of transmission patterns is first identified through correlation operations. Based on this, a message-passing (MP)-based pattern detection algorithm is developed to iteratively estimate the posterior probabilities of transmission patterns, followed by the \textit{maximum a posteriori} (MAP) estimation to obtain the precise pattern detection result. Furthermore, a joint pattern detection and data decoding algorithm based on the bit-wise SO information of polar decoder is investigated, where the posterior probability information provided by the polar decoder is exploited to refine the pattern detection and contribute to an improved accuracy. In addition, by leveraging bit-wise SO information of the successive cancellation list polar decoder, an MP-based iterative decoding algorithm is developed to significantly enhance the decoding performance. The proposed scheme simultaneously exploits the transmission gain of uncoupled-ODMA framework, the coding gain of polar codes in the short-blocklength regime, and the iterative decoding gain enabled by SO information, while the computational complexity is significantly reduced through the hierarchical detection framework. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves strong robustness ...
