InfEdit introduces an inversion-free framework for text-guided image editing, achieving high-quality results in under 3 seconds on a single GPU. The method effectively handles both rigid and non-rigid transformations while maintaining structural consistency.

Key insights

  • Denoising Diffusion Consistent Model (DDCM) uses a specific noise schedule that makes the denoising process mathematically equivalent to multi-step consistency sampling, enabling a "virtual inversion" without explicit computation.
  • DDCM computes a "consistency noise" from the source branch to calibrate the target branch's noise prediction, allowing direct refinement of the target initial latent and preventing error accumulation.
  • Unified Attention Control (UAC) employs a three-branch architecture (source, layout, target) and combines mutual self-attention control for structural consistency with cross-attention control guided by the layout branch for semantic changes.
