Improving Diffusion Posterior Samplers with Lagged Temporal Corrections for Image Restoration

ArXi:2605.12573v1 Announce Type: cross Diffusion-based posterior sampling (PS) is a leading framework for imaging inverse problems, combining learned priors with measurement constraints. Yet, its standard formulations rely on instantaneous data-consistent estimates, which induce temporal variability in the reverse dynamics. We reinterpret PS from a dynamical perspective, showing that the standard PS update corresponds to a first-order discretization of the diffusion dynamics plus a residual correction capturing the mismatch between the denoised prediction and the data-consistent estimate.
