摘要

En 中文
This paper presents Diff-ReColor, a novel diffusion -based image colorization framework that addresses the challenges of colorizing grayscale images with high semantic fidelity and diversity. Recognizing the limitations of previous approaches, including CNN -based methods and GANs, which often resulted in ambiguous colorization and artifacts, we leverage the recent advancements in diffusion models known for their stable training and diverse output generation. Diff-ReColor integrates an edge -conditional Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) with Dual -Tier Attention Color Reference Encoder, and a segmentation -informed sampling technique to produce colorized images that are both semantically consistent and rich in detail. Our edgeconditional DDPM is specifically designed to handle intricate image details, while the segmentation -guided sampling technique ensures the retention of semantic nuances by utilizing edge and segmentation cues during the colorization process. Inputs are also channeled into a dual attention encoder, where spectral -attention filters semantic information enhanced by spatial -attention, acquiring coarse coloring images to assist the denoising process. Empirical validation on the ImageNet benchmark dataset demonstrates the superior performance of Diff-ReColor in terms of color richness, colorization accuracy, and semantic fidelity. The model's generalization capabilities are further highlighted through its performance on COCO-Stuff and CelebA-HQ datasets, where it surpasses the baseline models without the need for fine-tuning.
