PixRestore: Unified Image Restoration via Pixel Diffusion Transformer
Unified image restoration (UIR) aims to recover high-quality (HQ) content from low-quality (LQ) images with different degradations using a single model. Most recent methods adapt large pretrained text-to-image (T2I) latent diffusion models for their strong capacity and generative priors. However, the variational autoencoder (VAE) in latent T2I models may discard restoration-sensitive details, while the open-ended synthesis prior can introduce content-inconsistent artifacts. We present PixRestore, a VAE-free pixel-space Diffusion Transformer (DiT) for UIR, where the diffusion backbone is traine
