End-to-End Diffusion Latent Optimization Improves Classifier Guidance
Authors:Bram Wallace, Akash Gokul, Stefano Ermon, Nikhil Naik
Classifier guidance — using the gradients of an image classifier to steer the generations of a diffusion model — has the potential to dramatically expand the creative control over image generation and editing. However, currently classifier guidance requires either training new noise-aware models to obtain accurate gradients or using a one-step denoising approximation of the final generation, which leads to misaligned gradients and sub-optimal control. We highlight this approximation’s shortcomings and propose a novel guidance method: Direct Optimization of Diffusion Latents (DOODL), which enables plug-and-play guidance by optimizing diffusion latents w.r.t. the gradients of a pre-trained classifier on the true generated pixels, using an invertible diffusion process to achieve memory-efficient backpropagation. Showcasing the potential of more precise guidance, DOODL outperforms one-step classifier guidance on computational and human evaluation metrics across different forms of guidance: using CLIP guidance to improve generations of complex prompts from DrawBench, using fine-grained visual classifiers to expand the vocabulary of Stable Diffusion, enabling image-conditioned generation with a CLIP visual encoder, and improving image aesthetics using an aesthetic scoring network.

Conditional Image-to-Video Generation with Latent Flow Diffusion Models
Authors:Haomiao Ni, Changhao Shi, Kai Li, Sharon X. Huang, Martin Renqiang Min
Conditional image-to-video (cI2V) generation aims to synthesize a new plausible video starting from an image (e.g., a person’s face) and a condition (e.g., an action class label like smile). The key challenge of the cI2V task lies in the simultaneous generation of realistic spatial appearance and temporal dynamics corresponding to the given image and condition. In this paper, we propose an approach for cI2V using novel latent flow diffusion models (LFDM) that synthesize an optical flow sequence in the latent space based on the given condition to warp the given image. Compared to previous direct-synthesis-based works, our proposed LFDM can better synthesize spatial details and temporal motion by fully utilizing the spatial content of the given image and warping it in the latent space according to the generated temporally-coherent flow. The training of LFDM consists of two separate stages: (1) an unsupervised learning stage to train a latent flow auto-encoder for spatial content generation, including a flow predictor to estimate latent flow between pairs of video frames, and (2) a conditional learning stage to train a 3D-UNet-based diffusion model (DM) for temporal latent flow generation. Unlike previous DMs operating in pixel space or latent feature space that couples spatial and temporal information, the DM in our LFDM only needs to learn a low-dimensional latent flow space for motion generation, thus being more computationally efficient. We conduct comprehensive experiments on multiple datasets, where LFDM consistently outperforms prior arts. Furthermore, we show that LFDM can be easily adapted to new domains by simply finetuning the image decoder. Our code is available at https://github.com/nihaomiao/CVPR23_LFDM.

Fantasia3D: Disentangling Geometry and Appearance for High-quality Text-to-3D Content Creation
Authors:Rui Chen, Yongwei Chen, Ningxin Jiao, Kui Jia
Automatic 3D content creation has achieved rapid progress recently due to the availability of pre-trained, large language models and image diffusion models, forming the emerging topic of text-to-3D content creation. Existing text-to-3D methods commonly use implicit scene representations, which couple the geometry and appearance via volume rendering and are suboptimal in terms of recovering finer geometries and achieving photorealistic rendering; consequently, they are less effective for generating high-quality 3D assets. In this work, we propose a new method of Fantasia3D for high-quality text-to-3D content creation. Key to Fantasia3D is the disentangled modeling and learning of geometry and appearance. For geometry learning, we rely on a hybrid scene representation, and propose to encode surface normal extracted from the representation as the input of the image diffusion model. For appearance modeling, we introduce the spatially varying bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) into the text-to-3D task, and learn the surface material for photorealistic rendering of the generated surface. Our disentangled framework is more compatible with popular graphics engines, supporting relighting, editing, and physical simulation of the generated 3D assets. We conduct thorough experiments that show the advantages of our method over existing ones under different text-to-3D task settings. Project page and source codes: https://fantasia3d.github.io/.

MindDiffuser: Controlled Image Reconstruction from Human Brain Activity with Semantic and Structural Diffusion
Authors:Yizhuo Lu, Changde Du, Dianpeng Wang, Huiguang He
Reconstructing visual stimuli from measured functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been a meaningful and challenging task. Previous studies have successfully achieved reconstructions with structures similar to the original images, such as the outlines and size of some natural images. However, these reconstructions lack explicit semantic information and are difficult to discern. In recent years, many studies have utilized multi-modal pre-trained models with stronger generative capabilities to reconstruct images that are semantically similar to the original ones. However, these images have uncontrollable structural information such as position and orientation. To address both of the aforementioned issues simultaneously, we propose a two-stage image reconstruction model called MindDiffuser, utilizing Stable Diffusion. In Stage 1, the VQ-VAE latent representations and the CLIP text embeddings decoded from fMRI are put into the image-to-image process of Stable Diffusion, which yields a preliminary image that contains semantic and structural information. In Stage 2, we utilize the low-level CLIP visual features decoded from fMRI as supervisory information, and continually adjust the two features in Stage 1 through backpropagation to align the structural information. The results of both qualitative and quantitative analyses demonstrate that our proposed model has surpassed the current state-of-the-art models in terms of reconstruction results on Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD). Furthermore, the results of ablation experiments indicate that each component of our model is effective for image reconstruction.

Make-It-3D: High-Fidelity 3D Creation from A Single Image with Diffusion Prior
Authors:Junshu Tang, Tengfei Wang, Bo Zhang, Ting Zhang, Ran Yi, Lizhuang Ma, Dong Chen
In this work, we investigate the problem of creating high-fidelity 3D content from only a single image. This is inherently challenging: it essentially involves estimating the underlying 3D geometry while simultaneously hallucinating unseen textures. To address this challenge, we leverage prior knowledge from a well-trained 2D diffusion model to act as 3D-aware supervision for 3D creation. Our approach, Make-It-3D, employs a two-stage optimization pipeline: the first stage optimizes a neural radiance field by incorporating constraints from the reference image at the frontal view and diffusion prior at novel views; the second stage transforms the coarse model into textured point clouds and further elevates the realism with diffusion prior while leveraging the high-quality textures from the reference image. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms prior works by a large margin, resulting in faithful reconstructions and impressive visual quality. Our method presents the first attempt to achieve high-quality 3D creation from a single image for general objects and enables various applications such as text-to-3D creation and texture editing.
