• Abstract: Diffusion models (DMs) have enabled breakthroughs in image synthesis tasks but lack an intuitive interface for consistent image-to-image (I2I) translation. Various methods have been explored to address this issue, including mask-based methods, attention-based methods, and image-conditioning. However, it remains a critical challenge to enable unpaired I2I translation with pre-trained DMs while maintaining satisfying consistency. This paper introduces Cyclenet, a novel but simple method that incorporates cycle consistency into DMs to regularize image manipulation. We validate Cyclenet on unpaired I2I tasks of different granularities. Besides the scene and object level translation, we additionally contribute a multi-domain I2I translation dataset to study the physical state changes of objects. Our empirical studies show that Cyclenet is superior in translation consistency and quality, and can generate high-quality images for out-of-domain distributions with a simple change of the textual prompt. Cyclenet is a practical framework, which is robust even with very limited training data (around 2k) and requires minimal computational resources (1 GPU) to train.

  Deep neural networks that achieve remarkable performance in image classification can be easily fooled by tiny transformations. We show that these approaches still fall short in robustly handling 'natural' image translations that simulate a subtle change in camera orientation. We present Robust Inference by Crop Selection: a simple method that can be proven to achieve any desired level of consistency.

  We propose a novel unpaired image-to-image domain conversion method, CycleDM, which incorporates the concept of CycleGAN into the diffusion model. CycleDM has two internal conversion models that bridge the denoising processes of two image domains. Our experiments for evaluating the converted images quantitatively and qualitatively found that ours performs better than other comparable approaches.

  We introduce two techniques to incorporate this invaluable in-domain prior knowledge for the benefit of translation quality. We propose splitting the input data according to semantic masks, explicitly guiding the network to different behavior for the different regions of the image. In addition, we propose training a semantic segmentation network along with the translation task, and to leverage this output as a loss term that improves robustness.

  Restoring reasonable and realistic content for arbitrary missing regions in images is an important yet challenging task. Recent image inpainting models have made significant progress in generating vivid visual details, but they can still lead to texture blurring or structural distortions. We propose the Semantic Pyramid Network (SPN) motivated by the idea that learning multi-scale semantic priors can greatly benefit the recovery of locally missing content in images.
