New Diffusion Trajectory Modeling framework captures semantic correspondence

Researchers have introduced Diffusion Trajectory Modeling (DTM), a novel framework that interprets the intermediate feature maps of diffusion models as temporal trajectories. This approach posits that the evolution of spatial patch representations throughout the diffusion process encodes semantic information not captured by static snapshots. Experiments on datasets like SPair-71k, SPair-U, and AP-10K demonstrate DTM's effectiveness in capturing correspondence cues, suggesting that the temporal dimension of diffusion carries significant semantic meaning.

IMPACT This research offers a new perspective on exploiting diffusion representations, potentially improving downstream tasks that rely on semantic understanding.

    Diffusion Trajectory Modeling for Semantic Correspondence

    arXiv:2609.15357v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models generate images through an iterative diffusion process, and recent studies have demonstrated that the intermediate feature maps produced during this process contain rich visual representations, leading to their adop…
