Summary
This paper talks about HiWave, a method that generates very high-resolution images by improving an existing image generation process using wavelet technology to add fine details.
What's the problem?
The problem is that creating ultra-high-resolution images with diffusion models often results in loss of quality and visual artifacts, and using traditional methods can be slow and require a lot of training.
What's the solution?
HiWave uses a two-step process where it first inverts images using a fast method called DDIM inversion, then applies wavelet-based techniques to enhance and add fine details without needing extra training, making the final images clearer and more detailed.
Why it matters?
This matters because it helps produce better quality large images faster using AI, which is useful for art, photography, and any application requiring detailed, high-resolution visuals.
Abstract
HiWave enhances ultra-high-resolution image synthesis using pretrained diffusion models through a two-stage pipeline involving DDIM inversion and wavelet-based detail enhancement, improving visual fidelity and reducing artifacts.
