Inverting the Generation Process of Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models: Empirical Evaluation and a Novel Method

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2606.03111v1 Announce Type: new This paper studies the problem of inverting the DDIM image generation process to recover latent variables, particularly the initial noise map, from a generated image. Existing methods often struggle with accuracy in this task. We propose a novel hybrid approach that combines direct inversion via gradient descent for the first step, followed by a fixed-point method for subsequent steps.
