• Abstract: Conditional image generation has paved the way for several breakthroughs in image editing, generating stock photos and 3-D object generation. This continues to be a significant area of interest with the rise of new state-of-the-art methods that are based on diffusion models. However, diffusion models provide very little control over the generated image, which led to subsequent works exploring techniques like classifier guidance, that provides a way to trade off diversity with fidelity. In this work, we explore techniques to condition diffusion models with carefully crafted input noise artifacts. This allows generation of images conditioned on semantic attributes. This is different from existing approaches that input Gaussian noise and further introduce conditioning at the diffusion model's inference step. Our experiments over several examples and conditional settings show the potential of our approach.

  We show that a fixed-point-inspired iterative approach to invert real-world images does not achieve convergence, instead oscillating between distinct clusters. We introduce a simple and fast distribution transfer technique that facilitates image enhancement, stroke-based recoloring, as well as visual prompt-guided image editing.

  We propose the Merge-Attend-Diffuse operator, which can be plugged into different types of pretrained diffusion models used in a joint diffusion setting. Specifically, we merge the diffusion paths, reprogramming self- and cross-attention to operate on the aggregated latent space. Our method maintains compatibility with the input prompt and visual quality of the generated images while increasing their semantic coherence.

  We present SinDiffusion, leveraging denoising diffusion models to capture internal distribution of patches from a single natural image. It is based on two core designs. First, SinDiffusion is trained with a single model at a single scale instead of multiple models with progressive growing of scales. Second, we identify that a patch-level receptive field of the diffusion network is crucial and effective for capturing the image's patch statistics.
