Outline

In this paper, we propose a learning-free domain adaptation (DA) technique called Domain Noise Alignment (DNA) for diffusion-based dense prediction (DDP) models. Based on the fact that the difference in noise statistics during the diffusion process in the DDP model causes domain shift, we achieve domain adaptation by aligning the noise statistics of the source domain with those of the target domain. In the absence of the source domain, we perform noise statistic adjustment incrementally by utilizing the statistics of high-confidence regions similar to the source domain. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments on four common dense prediction tasks.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We improved the efficiency of the DDP model by applying domain adaptation techniques that do not require learning.
We present a novel perspective on solving the domain shift problem by exploiting the noise statistics of the diffusion model.
We propose a source-free DA method that is applicable even when there is no source domain.
We demonstrate its practicality by demonstrating improved performance on four dense prediction tasks.
Limitations:
There may be a lack of clear criteria for defining and selecting high-confidence domains.
Generalization performance for different types of domain movements may not be sufficiently validated.
If there is no source domain, performance may be lower than if there is a source domain.
May only be applicable to certain types of DDP models.
