Diffusion Probabilistic Modeling for Video Generation
share
Denoising diffusion probabilistic models are a promising new class of generative models that are competitive with GANs on perceptual metrics. In this paper, we explore their potential for sequentially generating video. Inspired by recent advances in neural video compression, we use denoising diffusion models to stochastically generate a residual to a deterministic next-frame prediction. We compare this approach to two sequential VAE and two GAN baselines on four datasets, where we test the generated frames for perceptual quality and forecasting accuracy against ground truth frames. We find significant improvements in terms of perceptual quality on all data and improvements in terms of frame forecasting for complex high-resolution videos.
