• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a novel approach to achieve fidelity to a reference image while adhering to conditional prompts. We analyze the cross attention maps of the cross attention layers and gradients for the denoised latent vector. Using this information, we create masks at specific timesteps during denoising to preserve subjects while seamlessly integrating the reference image features.

• Abstract: In the realm of image synthesis, achieving fidelity to a reference image while adhering to conditional prompts remains a significant challenge. This paper proposes a novel approach that integrates a diffusion model with latent space manipulation and gradient-based selective attention mechanisms to address this issue. Leveraging Grad-SAM (Gradient-based Selective Attention Manipulation), we analyze the cross attention maps of the cross attention layers and gradients for the denoised latent vector, deriving importance scores of elements of denoised latent vector related to the subject of interest. Using this information, we create masks at specific timesteps during denoising to preserve subjects while seamlessly integrating the reference image features. This approach ensures the faithful formation of subjects based on conditional prompts, while concurrently refining the background for a more coherent composition. Our experiments on places365 dataset demonstrate promising results, with our proposed model achieving the lowest mean and median Frechet Inception Distance (FID) scores compared to baseline models, indicating superior fidelity preservation. Furthermore, our model exhibits competitive performance in aligning the generated images with provided textual descriptions, as evidenced by high CLIP scores. These results highlight the effectiveness of our approach in both fidelity preservation and textual context preservation, offering a significant advancement in text-to-image synthesis tasks.

  This paper introduces a novel training-free approach designed to overcome adversarial semantic intersections during the diffusion conditioning phase.

Our evaluations confirm the effectiveness of leveraging layout information for guiding the diffusion process, generating content-rich images with enhanced fidelity and complexity.

  Cross-attention layers in diffusion models tend to disproportionately focus on certain tokens during the generation process.

  We propose a novel diffusion model with effective global semantic fusion (GSF) and self-similarity feature enhancement modules. For semantic coherence, we argue that the image caption contains rich information for defining the semantic relationship within the objects in the images. To improve the physical coherence, we develop a Self-similarity Coherence Attention synthesis (SCA) module to explicitly integrate local contextual physical coherence relation into each pixel's generation process.
