• Authors: Juno Hwang, Yong-Hyun Park, Junghyo Jo,
• Abstract summary: We introduce upsample guidance, a technique that adapts pretrained diffusion model to generate higher-resolution images. Remarkably, this technique does not necessitate any additional training or relying on external models. We demonstrate that upsample guidance can be applied to various models, such as pixel-space, latent space, and video diffusion models.

• Abstract: Diffusion models have demonstrated superior performance across various generative tasks including images, videos, and audio. However, they encounter difficulties in directly generating high-resolution samples. Previously proposed solutions to this issue involve modifying the architecture, further training, or partitioning the sampling process into multiple stages. These methods have the limitation of not being able to directly utilize pre-trained models as-is, requiring additional work. In this paper, we introduce upsample guidance, a technique that adapts pretrained diffusion model (e.g., $512^2$) to generate higher-resolution images (e.g., $1536^2$) by adding only a single term in the sampling process. Remarkably, this technique does not necessitate any additional training or relying on external models. We demonstrate that upsample guidance can be applied to various models, such as pixel-space, latent space, and video diffusion models. We also observed that the proper selection of guidance scale can improve image quality, fidelity, and prompt alignment.

  diffusion models have gained popularity for their ability to generate higher-quality images in comparison to GAN models. These models require a huge amount of data, computational resources, and meticulous tuning for successful training. We propose methods to leverage pre-trained unconditional diffusion models with additional guidance for the purpose of conditional image generative.

  We investigate the capability of generating images from pre-trained diffusion models at much higher resolutions than the training image sizes.

We propose a simple yet effective re-dilation that can dynamically adjust the convolutional perception field during inference.

They support fast one-step generation by design, while still allowing multistep sampling to trade compute for sample quality. They also support zero-shot data editing, such as image inpainting, colorization, and super-resolution, without requiring explicit training.

  We propose an approach to distilling classifier-free guided diffusion models into models that are fast to sample from. For standard diffusion models trained on the pixelspace, our approach is able to generate images visually comparable to that of the original model. For diffusion models trained on the latent-space (e.g., Stable Diffusion), our approach is able to generate high-fidelity images using as few as 1 to 4 denoising steps.

Text-to-image models require exceptionally large amounts of computational resources to train, as well as handling huge datasets collected from the internet. This thesis contributes by reviewing the different approaches and techniques used by these models, and then by proposing our own implementation of a text-to-image model.
