TSFormer: Efficient Ultra-High-Definition Image Restoration via Trusted Min- <i>p</i>

Ultra-high-definition (UHD) image restoration is vital for applications demanding exceptional visual fidelity, yet existing methods often face a trade-off between restoration quality and efficiency, limiting their practical deployment. In this paper, we propose TSFormer, an all-in-one framework that integrates Trusted learning with Sparsification to boost both generalization capability and computational efficiency in UHD image restoration. The key to sparsification is that only a small amount of token movement is allowed within the model. To efficiently filter tokens, we use Min- $p$ with random matrix theory to quantify the uncertainty of tokens (lower trustworthiness), thereby improving the robustness of the model. Our model can run a 4K ( $3840\times 2160$ ) image in real time (40fps) with 3.38 M parameters. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TSFormer achieves state-of-the-art restoration quality while enhancing generalization and reducing computational demands. In addition, our token filtering method can be applied to other image restoration models to effectively accelerate inference and maintain performance.

Abstract

Ultra-high-definition (UHD) image restoration is vital for applications demanding exceptional visual fidelity, yet existing methods often face a trade-off between restoration quality and efficiency, limiting their practical deployment. In this paper, we propose TSFormer, an all-in-one framework that integrates Trusted learning with Sparsification to boost both generalization capability and computational efficiency in UHD image restoration. The key to sparsification is that only a small amount of token movement is allowed within the model. To efficiently filter tokens, we use Min- $p$ with random matrix theory to quantify the uncertainty of tokens (lower trustworthiness), thereby improving the robustness of the model. Our model can run a 4K ( $3840\times 2160$ ) image in real time (40fps) with 3.38 M parameters. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TSFormer achieves state-of-the-art restoration quality while enhancing generalization and reducing computational demands. In addition, our token filtering method can be applied to other image restoration models to effectively accelerate inference and maintain performance.
