TL;DR
This study proposes the use of edge-based features within the GANs framework to efficiently reduce feature redundancy during training, which mitigates artifact-related issues and improves image quality but also underscores the significant impact of feature redundancy on the learning process of GAN-based image denoising models.
This work proposes a new GAN-based face hallucination method primarily based on the Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (ESRGAN), and presents a personalised adaptation of ESRGAN that employs the VGG16 architecture with a compact pre-trained version.

This work identifies direct output access to the image statistics being corrected as a key factor governing when adversarial post-training succeeds, the first systematic study of adversarial post-training for pixel diffusion.

A hybrid GAN-guided diffusion framework that uses a pretrained Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) as a feature prior for conditional diffusion-based image restoration that consistently improves the quality of both degraded and low-resolution images.
Both numerical results and visual evaluations confirm that the proposed framework provides a balanced solution for preserving structural details while maintaining perceptual realism in image inpainting applications.

The method employs a lightweight UNet architecture based on depthwise separable convolutions, substantially reducing the parameter count while decreasing inference steps from 1000 to 20 through a fast sampling strategy, exhibiting excellent quality-efficiency trade-offs.
A CNN-based edge-aware artifact reduction framework (CNN-AR) is proposed that integrates an enhanced deep super-resolution (EDSR) backbone with a holistically nested edge detection (HED) guided loss, enabling superior artifact suppression while preserving fine structural details.
