Omegance: A Single Parameter for Various Granularities in Diffusion-Based Synthesis

Xinyu Hou · Zongsheng Yue · Xiaoming Li · Chen Change Loy


Abstract: In this work, we show that we only need **a single parameter $\omega$** to effectively control granularity in diffusion-based synthesis. This parameter is incorporated during the denoising steps of the diffusion model’s reverse process. This simple approach does not require model retraining or architectural modifications and incurs negligible computational overhead, yet enables precise control over the level of details in the generated outputs. Moreover, spatial masks or denoising schedules with varying $\omega$ values can be applied to achieve region-specific or timestep-specific granularity control. External control signals or reference images can guide the creation of precise $\omega$ masks, allowing targeted granularity adjustments. Despite its simplicity, the method demonstrates impressive performance across various image and video synthesis tasks and is adaptable to advanced diffusion models. The code will be made publicly available.
