Conditional Generative Modeling for Images, 3D Animations, and Video

2023-10-19 · Vikram Voleti

This dissertation attempts to drive innovation in the field of generative modeling for computer vision, by exploring novel formulations of conditional generative models, and innovative applications in images, 3D animations, and video. Our research focuses on architectures that offer reversible transformations of noise and visual data, and the application of encoder-decoder architectures for generative tasks and 3D content manipulation. In all instances, we incorporate conditional information to enhance the synthesis of visual data, improving the efficiency of the generation process as well as the generated content. We introduce the use of Neural ODEs to model video dynamics using an encoder-decoder architecture, demonstrating their ability to predict future video frames despite being trained solely to reconstruct current frames. Next, we propose a conditional variant of continuous normalizing flows that enables higher-resolution image generation based on lower-resolution input, achieving comparable image quality while reducing parameters and training time. Our next contribution presents a pipeline that takes human images as input, automatically aligns a user-specified 3D character with the pose of the human, and facilitates pose editing based on partial inputs. Next, we derive the relevant mathematical details for denoising diffusion models that use non-isotropic Gaussian processes, and show comparable generation quality. Finally, we devise a novel denoising diffusion framework capable of solving all three video tasks of prediction, generation, and interpolation. We perform ablation studies, and show SOTA results on multiple datasets. Our contributions are published articles at peer-reviewed venues. Overall, our research aims to make a meaningful contribution to the pursuit of more efficient and flexible generative models, with the potential to shape the future of computer vision.
