Representative Feature Extraction During Diffusion Process for Sketch Extraction with One Example
We introduce DiffSketch, a method for generating a variety of stylized sketches from images. Our approach focuses on selecting representative features from the rich semantics of deep features within a pretrained diffusion model. This novel sketch generation method can be trained with one manual drawing. Furthermore, efficient sketch extraction is ensured by distilling a trained generator into a streamlined extractor. We select denoising diffusion features through analysis and integrate these selected features with VAE features to produce sketches. Additionally, we propose a sampling scheme for training models using a conditional generative approach. Through a series of comparisons, we verify that distilled DiffSketch not only outperforms existing state-of-the-art sketch extraction methods but also surpasses diffusion-based stylization methods in the task of extracting sketches.
