arXiv:2605.29012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion-based and iterative methods have become effective tools for solving imaging inverse problems. Their reconstruction process naturally forms a trajectory of intermediate estimates. Although these intermediate estimates define a reconstruction trajectory, most methods do not explicitly regularize the transitions between consecutive states. To address this limitation, we introduce TRACE, a training-free TRAjectory-Constrained rEconstruction framework that stabilizes the reconstruction path by coupling adjacent states along the trajectory. This gives a trajectory-level model that can be interpreted as a sequence of proximal updates. Since the exact proximal update is generally intractable, we approximate it with a neural mapping. This yields a diffusion-like reconstruction process with an explicit coupling between neighboring states.
