Plug-and-play Image Restoration (IR) … a flexible and interpretable method for solving various inverse problems by utilizing any off-the-shelf denoiser as the implicit image prior.

… diffusion models … potential to serve as a generative denoiser prior to the plug-and-play IR methods remains to be further explored.

… other … diffusion models for image restoration … fail to achieve satisfactory results or … require an unacceptable number of Neural Function Evaluations (NFEs) during inference.

This paper proposes DiffPIR, which integrates the traditional plug-and-play method into the diffusion sampling framework.

Compared to plug-and-play IR methods that rely on discriminative Gaussian denoisers, DiffPIR is expected to inherit the generative ability of diffusion models.

Experimental … on three … IR tasks, including super-resolution, image deblurring, and inpainting, demonstrate … DiffPIR achieves state-of-the-art performance … with no more than 100 NFEs …
