Physics-aware Masked Diffusion-based Flood Simulation for Urban Fisheye Disaster Detection

Physical simulations that predict the behavior of urban disasters, such as climate-related flooding, play a crucial role in disaster prevention and the development of anomaly detection models. However, the severe shortage of flood data in real-world environments, combined with the inherent distortions of fisheye lens images, which are used for urban surveillance, has made high-precision simulations challenging. To address this, we propose a new physical simulation system PhysFlood that leverages Diffusion Models to synthesize realistic floods from just a single image captured by a fisheye lens. Our system not only enables simulation from a single image, but also features the ability to freely control and generate diverse flood scenarios by manipulating physically meaningful variables, such as water levels. In our evaluation experiments, we conducted a qualitative human study and demonstrated that the simulation images generated by PhysFlood exhibit both acceptable realism and robustness.

Retrieve-Augmented Generation for Speeding up Diffusion Policy without Additional Training

Diffusion Policies (DPs) have attracted attention for their ability to achieve significant accuracy improvements in various imitation learning tasks. However, DPs depend on Diffusion Models, which require multiple noise removal steps to generate a single action, resulting in long generation times. To solve this problem, knowledge distillation-based methods such as Consistency Policy (CP) have been proposed. However, these methods require a significant amount of training time, especially for difficult tasks. In this study, we propose RAGDP (Retrieve-Augmented Generation for Diffusion Policies) as a novel framework that eliminates the need for additional training using a knowledge base to expedite the inference of pre-trained DPs. In concrete, RAGDP encodes observation-action pairs through the DP encoder to construct a vector database of expert demonstrations. During inference, the current observation is embedded, and the most similar expert action is extracted. This extracted action is combined with an intermediate noise removal step to reduce the number of steps required compared to the original diffusion step. We show that by using RAGDP with the base model and existing acceleration methods, we improve the accuracy and speed trade-off with no additional training. Even when accelerating the models 20 times, RAGDP maintains an advantage in accuracy, with a 7% increase over distillation models such as CP.

Conditional Diffusion Models for Semantic 3D Brain MRI Synthesis

Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, especially in medical imaging, faces challenges due to data scarcity and privacy concerns. Addressing these, we introduce Med-DDPM, a diffusion model designed for 3D semantic brain MRI synthesis. This model effectively tackles data scarcity and privacy issues by integrating semantic conditioning. This involves the channel-wise concatenation of a conditioning image to the model input, enabling control in image generation. Med-DDPM demonstrates superior stability and performance compared to existing 3D brain imaging synthesis methods. It generates diverse, anatomically coherent images with high visual fidelity. In terms of dice score accuracy in the tumor segmentation task, Med-DDPM achieves 0.6207, close to the 0.6531 accuracy of real images, and outperforms baseline models. Combined with real images, it further increases segmentation accuracy to 0.6675, showing the potential of our proposed method for data augmentation. This model represents the first use of a diffusion model in 3D semantic brain MRI synthesis, producing high-quality images. Its semantic conditioning feature also shows potential for image anonymization in biomedical imaging, addressing data and privacy issues. We provide the code and model weights for Med-DDPM on our GitHub repository (https://github.com/mobaidoctor/med-ddpm/) to support reproducibility.
