PassionSR: Post-Training Quantization with Adaptive Scale in One-Step Diffusion based Image Super-Resolution

Abstract: Diffusion-Based image super-resolution (SR) models have shown superior performance at the cost of multiple denoising steps. However, even though the denoising step has been reduced to one, ...
