Original abstract

Video super-resolution (VSR) using large-scale Diffusion Transformer (DiT) priors achieves exceptional perceptual quality but is often impractical due to the quadratic computational cost of processing dense spatio-temporal token sequences. Existing efficiency-oriented methods risk irreversible detail loss and temporal flickering, a vulnerability especially pronounced in one-step diffusion models. To address this, we propose TRaM-VSR, a Token Routing and Merging framework for adaptive token allocation, leveraging both context-aware video priors and network-level priors. First, token importance is estimated by fusing motion-sensitive temporal cues with semantic text similarity, isolating dynamic objects and structural boundaries. Next, this importance is further calibrated and adjusted by an offline planner to guide routing across optimally grouped network blocks. Technically, within each routed group, structurally critical tokens are processed in a high-fidelity local stream, while less informative tokens are aggregated into a compact global stream, both modulated by network depth and aligned with the multigranular nature of diffusion models. Extensive experiments show that TRaM-VSR accelerates inference significantly while preserving state-of-the-art reconstruction quality and robust temporal consistency.
