• Abstract summary: This study shows that vanilla diffusion models can directly extract style information and seamlessly integrate the generative prior into the content image without retraining. We adopt dual denoising paths to represent content/style references in latent space and then guide the content image denoising process with style latent codes.

• Abstract: Despite the remarkable progress in image style transfer, formulating style in the context of art is inherently subjective and challenging. In contrast to existing learning/tuning methods, this study shows that vanilla diffusion models can directly extract style information and seamlessly integrate the generative prior into the content image without retraining. Specifically, we adopt dual denoising paths to represent content/style references in latent space and then guide the content image denoising process with style latent codes. We further reveal that the cross-attention mechanism in latent diffusion models tends to blend the content and style images, resulting in stylized outputs that deviate from the original content image. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a cross-attention rearrangement strategy. Through theoretical analysis and experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the diffusion-based $\underline{Z}$ero-shot $\underline{S}$tyle $\underline{T}$ransfer via $\underline{A}$ttention $\underline{R}$earrangement, Z-STAR.

  Style transfer aims to fuse the artistic representation of a style image with the structural information of a content image. Existing methods train specific networks or utilize pre-trained models to learn content and style features. We propose a novel and training-free approach for style transfer, combining textual embedding with spatial features.

  We introduce textbfArtist, a training-free approach that aesthetically controls the content and style generation of a pretrained diffusion model for text-driven stylization. Our key insight is to disentangle the denoising of content and style into separate diffusion processes while sharing information between them. Our method excels at achieving aesthetic-level stylization requirements, preserving intricate details in the content image and aligning well with the style prompt.

  Diffusion-based image translation guided by semantic texts or a single target image has enabled flexible style transfer.

We present a novel diffusion-based unsupervised image translation method using disentangled style and content representation. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art baseline models in both text-guided and image-guided translation tasks.
