Abstract

This paper explores the use of score-based diffusion models for Bayesian image reconstruction. Diffusion models are an efficient tool for generative modeling. Diffusion models can also be used for solving image reconstruction problems. We present a simple and flexible algorithm for training a diffusion model and using it for maximum a posteriori reconstruction, minimum mean square error reconstruction, and posterior sampling. We present experiments on both a linear and a nonlinear reconstruction problem that highlight the strengths and limitations of the approach.
