• Abstract: We introduce Seed-to-Seed Translation (StS), a novel approach for Image-to-Image Translation using diffusion models (DMs), aimed at translations that require close adherence to the structure of the source image. In contrast to existing methods that modify images during the diffusion sampling process, we leverage the semantic information encoded within the space of inverted seeds of a pretrained DM, dubbed as the seed-space. We demonstrate that inverted seeds can be used for discriminative tasks, and can also be manipulated to achieve desired transformations in an unpaired image-to-image translation setting. Our method involves training an sts-GAN, an unpaired translation model between source and target seeds, based on CycleGAN. The final translated images are obtained by initiating the DM's sampling process from the translated seeds. A ControlNet is used to ensure the structural preservation of the input image. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for the task of translating automotive scenes, showcasing superior performance compared to existing GAN-based and diffusion-based methods, as well as for several other unpaired image translation tasks. Our approach offers a fresh perspective on leveraging the semantic information encoded within the seed-space of pretrained DMs for effective image editing and manipulation.

  CycleGAN-based methods are known to hide the mismatched information in the generated images to bypass cycle consistency objectives. We introduce StegoGAN, a novel model that leverages steganography to prevent spurious features in generated images. Our approach enhances the semantic consistency of the translated images without requiring additional postprocessing or supervision.

  A common goal of unpaired image-to-image translation is to preserve content consistency between source images and translated images. We show that masking the inputs of a global discriminator for both domains with a content-based mask is sufficient to reduce content inconsistencies significantly. In our experiments, we show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in photorealistic sim-to-real translation and weather translation.

  Translating images from a source domain to a target domain for learning target models is one of the most common strategies in domain adaptive semantic segmentation (DASS) Existing methods still struggle to preserve semantically-consistent local details between the original and translated images. We present an innovative approach that addresses this challenge by using source-domain labels as explicit guidance during image translation.

  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.
