• Abstract: Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have achieved remarkable success in various image generation tasks compared with Generative Adversarial Nets (GANs). Recent work on semantic image synthesis mainly follows the \emph{de facto} GAN-based approaches, which may lead to unsatisfactory quality or diversity of generated images. In this paper, we propose a novel framework based on DDPM for semantic image synthesis. Unlike previous conditional diffusion model directly feeds the semantic layout and noisy image as input to a U-Net structure, which may not fully leverage the information in the input semantic mask, our framework processes semantic layout and noisy image differently. It feeds noisy image to the encoder of the U-Net structure while the semantic layout to the decoder by multi-layer spatially-adaptive normalization operators. To further improve the generation quality and semantic interpretability in semantic image synthesis, we introduce the classifier-free guidance sampling strategy, which acknowledge the scores of an unconditional model for sampling process. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, achieving state-of-the-art performance in terms of fidelity~(FID) and diversity~(LPIPS).

  This paper proposes leveraging the language comprehension capabilities of large vision-language models to guide the optimization of the initial noisy latent. We introduce the Noise Diffusion process, which updates the noisy latent to generate semantically faithful images while preserving distribution consistency. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and adaptability of our framework, consistently enhancing semantic alignment across various diffusion models.

  Few-shot image generation aims to produce plausible and diverse images for one category given a few images from this category. Existing approaches either globally interpolate different images or fuse local representations with pre-defined coefficients. This paper proposes a novel mechanism to inject external semantic signals into internal local representations.
