Latent Wavelet Diffusion For Ultra High-Resolution Image Synthesis

High-resolution image synthesis remains a core challenge in generative modeling, particularly in balancing computational efficiency with the preservation of finegrained visual detail. We present Latent Wavelet Diffusion (LWD), a lightweight training framework that significantly improves detail and texture fidelity in ultrahigh-resolution (2K-4K) image synthesis. LWD introduces a novel, frequencyaware masking strategy derived from wavelet energy maps, which dynamically focuses the training process on detail-rich regions of the latent space. This is complemented by a scale-consistent VAE objective to ensure high spectral fidelity. The primary advantage of our approach is its efficiency: LWD requires no architectural modifications and adds zero additional cost during inference, making it a practical solution for scaling existing models. Across multiple strong baselines, LWD consistently improves perceptual quality and FID scores, demonstrating the power of signal-driven supervision as a principled and efficient path toward high-resolution generative modeling.
