Abstract

Pretrained diffusion Transformers provide powerful generative priors for image restoration, yet adapting them to structure-sensitive tasks remains challenging. Existing methods mainly rely on dense low-resolution features as conditions, which often entangle salient objects with dominant backgrounds and provide limited abstraction for recurring structures across scales and samples. We propose MOSAIC, an object-centric representation learning framework that learns compact structural conditions for generative model adaptation. MOSAIC organizes degraded observations into structural slots that capture complementary object-level and layout-level evidence, integrates them across resolutions, and retrieves recurring priors from a shared prototype memory to complement incomplete image-specific information. The resulting representations are injected into selected layers of a frozen diffusion Transformer through lightweight residual modulation, preserving its pretrained generative prior. We instantiate MOSAIC for remote sensing image super-resolution, where small objects, repetitive structures, and large-scale variation provide a challenging testbed. Experiments on UCMerced, AID, and RSSCN7 show consistent PSNR improvements across ×2\times 2 and ×4\times 4 settings and favorable LPIPS results at ×4\times 4. Qualitative results further demonstrate improved preservation of small objects, structural boundaries, and repetitive spatial patterns.
