• Abstract: Diffusion models can generate a variety of high-quality images by modeling complex data distributions. Trained diffusion models can also be very effective image priors for solving inverse problems. Most of the existing diffusion-based methods integrate data consistency steps within the diffusion reverse sampling process. The data consistency steps rely on an approximate likelihood function. In this paper, we show that the existing approximations are either insufficient or computationally inefficient. To address these issues, we propose a unified likelihood approximation method that incorporates a covariance correction term to enhance the performance and avoids propagating gradients through the diffusion model. The correction term, when integrated into the reverse diffusion sampling process, achieves better convergence towards the true data posterior for selected distributions and improves performance on real-world natural image datasets. Furthermore, we present an efficient way to factorize and invert the covariance matrix of the likelihood function for several inverse problems. We present comprehensive experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method over several existing approaches.

  We propose Diffusion State-Guided Projected Gradient (DiffStateGrad) for inverse problems. DiffStateGrad projects the measurement gradient onto a subspace that is a low-rank approximation of an intermediate state of the diffusion process. We highlight that DiffStateGrad improves the robustness of diffusion models in terms of the choice of measurement guidance step size and noise.

  Current methods assume the degradation to be known and provide impressive results in terms of restoration and diversity. In this work, we leverage the efficiency of those models to jointly estimate the restored image and unknown parameters of the kernel model. Our method alternates between approximating the expected log-likelihood of the problem using samples drawn from a diffusion model and a step to estimate unknown model parameters.

  Inverse tasks can be formulated as inferring a posterior distribution over data. This is however challenging in diffusion models since the nonlinear and iterative nature of the diffusion process renders the posterior intractable. We propose a variational approach that by design seeks to approximate the true posterior distribution.
