摘要
Learning velocity fields directly in pixel space is difficult and slow. We show that coarse second-order image statistics can ease this task: frozen Wiener estimates improve velocity learning, with gains extending beyond the linear predictions they explicitly provide. Moreover, we observe similar but complementary gains from frozen bases and pixel decoding. These observations motivate Wiener-informed Decoding (WiD), which uses statistical knowledge both for direct prediction and to organize decoder computation without modifying native blocks. WiD combines a trainable Wiener prediction path with coefficient interfaces that inject features into the native decoder and return its predicted coefficient corrections, with these components initialized with data statistics. All introduced parameters, including the spectrum and coordinate transforms, are trained jointly under the original pixel-space velocity objective. Across model scales and decoder architectures, WiD accelerates training and improves generation quality with modest parameter overhead. It also yields smoother gradient trajectories and remains effective with representation alignment. WiD improves class-conditional and text-to-image generation across different resolutions. On ImageNet 256 x 256, PixelDiT-XL with WiD reaches FID 1.53 after 500 epochs, achieving comparable quality to PixelDiT with 37.5% fewer training epochs. Statistical denoisers contribute beyond the estimate: their computational structure can also ease pixel-space training.
