arXiv:2606.31290v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models enable probabilistic super-resolution and conditional generation, but pixel-space methods are computationally expensive and learned latent spaces often lack interpretable uncertainty quantification. We introduce Patch-PODiff-ViT, a structured latent diffusion framework in which the latent space is defined by patchwise Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), a fixed linear orthonormal basis over local patches, rather than learned by a nonlinear autoencoder. This yields low-dimensional, variance-ordered tokens that preserve spatial
