Probability Density Geodesics in Image Diffusion Latent Space

2025-04-09 · CVPR 2025 1 · Qingtao Yu, Jaskirat Singh, Zhaoyuan Yang, Peter Henry Tu, Jing Zhang, Hongdong Li, Richard Hartley, Dylan Campbell

Diffusion models indirectly estimate the probability density over a data space, which can be used to study its structure. In this work, we show that geodesics can be computed in diffusion latent space, where the norm induced by the spatially-varying inner product is inversely proportional to the probability density. In this formulation, a path that traverses a high density (that is, probable) region of image latent space is shorter than the equivalent path through a low density region. We present algorithms for solving the associated initial and boundary value problems and show how to compute the probability density along the path and the geodesic distance between two points. Using these techniques, we analyze how closely video clips approximate geodesics in a pre-trained image diffusion space. Finally, we demonstrate how these techniques can be applied to training-free image sequence interpolation and extrapolation, given a pre-trained image diffusion model.

Feature-Based Interpolation and Geodesics in the Latent Spaces of Generative Models

2019-04-06 · Łukasz Struski, Michał Sadowski, Tomasz Danel, Jacek Tabor 외

Interpolating between points is a problem connected simultaneously with finding geodesics and study of generative models. In the case of geodesics, we search for the curves with the shortest length, while in the case of …
