Score Jacobian Chaining: Lifting Pretrained 2D Diffusion Models for 3D Generation
We propose a novel estimation scheme for image generative models that backpropagate the score of a diffusion model through the jacobian of a differentiable renderer, which weinstantiate to be a voxel radiance field.
This setup aggregates 2d scores at multiple camera viewpoints into a 3d score, and repurposes a pretrained 2dmodel for 3d data generation.
We identify a technical challenge of distributionmismatch that arises in this application, and propose an estimation mechanism to resolve it.
We run our algorithm on several off-the-shelf diffusion models, including the recently released stablediffusion trained on the large-scale laion dataset.
