Overview of Panacea. (a). The diffusion training process of Panacea, enabled by a diffusion encoder and decoder with the decomposed 4D attention module. (b). The decomposed 4D attention module comprises three components: intra-view attention for spatial processing within individual views, cross-view attention to engage with adjacent views, and cross-frame attention for temporal processing. (c). Controllable module for the integration of diverse signals. The image conditions are derived from a frozen VAE encoder and combined with diffused noises. The text prompts are processed through a frozen CLIP encoder, while BEV sequences are handled via ControlNet. (d). The details of BEV layout sequences, including projected bounding boxes, object depths, road maps and camera pose.

The two-stage inference pipeline of Panacea. Its two-stage process begins by creating multi-view images with BEV layouts, followed by using these images, along with subsequent BEV layouts, to facilitate the generation of following frames.

Video generation with variable attribute controls, such as weather, time, and scene, which allows Panacea to simulate a variety of rare driving scenarios, including extreme weather conditions such as rain and snow, thereby greatly enhancing the diversity of the data.

(a). Panoramic video generation based on BEV (Bird’s-Eye-View) layout sequence facilitates the establishment of a synthetic video dataset, which enhances perceptual tasks. (b). Producing panoramic videos with conditional images and BEV layouts can effectively elevate image-only datasets to video datasets, thus enabling the advancement of video-based perception techniques.
