I have a question: if we already have the ground-truth image generated from "non-diffusive generators", why still use diffusion part? Which purpose of this action? Thank u! #3

Hello, The images that are generated via the diffusive module have higher sample fidelity and diversity. Thus, instead of the images generated via non-diffusive generators, we sample from the diffusive generators.

Thank u for your reply. So, to be summary, the diffusive generators could be treated as an image enhancer? It still a supervised module? Is that right?

Yes, that's correct. The diffusive generators can be thought of as an image enhancer, because they improve the quality and diversity of the images generated by the non-diffusive generators. The diffusive generators can be considered a supervised module because they are trained using image estimates from the non-diffusive module.
