Diffusion Self Distillation
Overview :
Diffusion Self-Distillation is a self-distillation technique based on diffusion models for zero-shot custom image generation. This technology allows artists and users to generate their own datasets via a pre-trained text-to-image model without requiring large paired datasets, enabling them to fine-tune the model for image-to-image tasks conditioned on text and images. This approach surpasses existing zero-shot methods in maintaining performance on identity generation tasks and can rival instance-based tuning techniques without the need for optimization during testing.
Target Users :
The target audience includes artists, designers, and researchers who need to generate images with specific identity characteristics without requiring large paired datasets. The Diffusion Self-Distillation technology offers an innovative approach that allows users to guide image generation through simple text prompts, thereby creating images tailored to specific needs.
Use Cases
Example 1: An artist uses this technology to generate a series of comic characters with specific styles and features.
Example 2: A designer utilizes this technology for image generation that maintains object characteristics under varying lighting conditions.
Example 3: Researchers apply this technology to conduct performance comparison experiments for identity preservation generation tasks.
Features
- Zero-shot custom image generation: Generate images of specific instances in new contexts without requiring large paired datasets.
- Text-to-image diffusion model: Utilize a pre-trained model to create image grids and collaborate with a visual language model to filter paired datasets.
- Image-to-image task fine-tuning: Fine-tune the text-to-image model into a text-and-image-to-image model to improve the quality and consistency of generated images.
- Identity preservation generation: Maintain specific identity features (such as those of people or objects) in different scenarios.
- Automated data filtering: Automatically filter and classify image pairs through visual language models, simulating manual annotation and selection processes.
- Information exchange: The model generates two frames, one reconstructing the input image and the other being the edited output, facilitating effective information exchange.
- No optimization during testing: This technique does not require optimization during testing compared to traditional instance-based tuning methods.
How to Use
1. Visit the Diffusion Self-Distillation project page and download the pre-trained text-to-image diffusion model.
2. Utilize the model's contextual generation capabilities to create an image grid and collaborate with a visual language model to filter the paired dataset.
3. Use the filtered dataset to fine-tune the text-to-image model, transforming it into a text-and-image-to-image model.
4. Employ the fine-tuned model for zero-shot custom image generation by inputting text prompts and reference images to generate new images.
5. Evaluate whether the generated images meet identity preservation and other customization needs, and perform further tuning if necessary.
6. Apply the generated images in artistic creation, design, or other related fields.
