RFMSR: Residual Flow Matching for Image Super-Resolution
Image super-resolution (ISR) has witnessed remarkable progress with diffusion models and flow matching. The dominant text-to-image (T2I) based approaches leverage large-scale foundation models as generative priors, achieving impressive perceptual quality but at the cost of massive model sizes and prohibitive training expenses. Recent flow-matching-based vision-only approaches have made significant strides; however, they adopt standard flow formulations that transport from a pure Gaussian prior to the data distribution, discarding the rich structural information already present in the low-quali
