contents Stable Diffusion (SD) has evolved DDPM (Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model) based image generation significantly by denoising in latent space instead of feature space. This popularized DDPM-based image generation as the cost and compute barrier was significantly lowered. However, these models could only generate fixed-resolution images according to their training configuration. When we attempt to generate higher resolutions, the resulting images show object duplication artifacts consistently. To solve this problem without finetuning SD models, recent works have tried dilating the convolution kernels of the models and have achieved a great level of success. But dilated kernels are harder to fine-tune due to being zero-gapped. Apart from this, other methods, such as patched diffusion, could not solve the object-duplication problem efficiently. Hence, to overcome the limitations of dilated convolutions, we propose kernel interpolation of SD models for higher-resolution image generation. In this work, we show mathematically that interpolation can correctly scale convolution kernels if multiplied by a constant coefficient and achieve competitive empirical results in generating beyond-training-resolution images with Stable Diffusion using zero training. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our method enables interpolation of deep neural networks to adapt to higher-dimensional training data, with a worst-case performance drop of $2.6\%$ in accuracy and F1-Score relative to the baseline. This shows the applicability of our method to be general, where we interpolate fully-connected layers, going beyond convolution layers. We also discuss how we can reduce the memory footprints of training neural networks, using our method up to at least $4\times$.
