 ## 模型介绍 (Introduction)
 
-**I2VGen-XL**建立在Stable Diffusion之上，如图Fig.2所示，通过专门设计的时空UNet在隐空间中进行时空建模并通过解码器重建出最终视频。为能够生成720P视频，我们将**I2VGen-XL**分为两个阶段，第一阶段保证语义一致性但低分辨率，第二阶段通过DDIM逆运算并在新的VLDM上进行去噪以提高视频分辨率以及同时提升时间和空间上的一致性。通过在模型、训练和数据上的联合优化，本项目主要具有以下几个特点：
+如图Fig.2所示，**I2VGen-XL**是一种基于隐空间的视频扩散模型(VLDM)，其通过我们专门设计的时��UNet(ST-UNet)在隐空间中进行时空建模并通过解码器重建出最终视频（具体模型结构可以参考[VideoComposer](https://videocomposer.github.io)）。为能够生成720P视频，我们将**I2VGen-XL**分为两个阶段，第一阶段是在低分辨率条件下保证语义一致性，第二阶是利用新的VLDM进行去噪以提高视频分辨率以及同时提升时间和空间上的一致性。通过在模型、数据和训练上的联合优化，**I2VGen-XL**主要具有以下几个特点：
 
 - 高清&宽屏，可以直接生成720P(1280*720)分辨率的视频，且相比于现有的开源项目，不仅分辨率得到有效提高，其生产的宽屏视频可以适合更多的场景
-- 无水印，模型通过我们内部大规模无水印视频/图像训练，并在高质量数据微调得到，生成的无水印视频可适用更多视频平台，减少许多限制
 - 连续性，通过特定训练和推理策略，在视频的细节生成的稳定性上（时间和空间维度）有明显提高
-- 质感好，通过收集特定的风格的视频数据训练，使得生成的模型在质感得到明显提升，可以生成科技感、电影色、卡通风格和素描等类型视频

-**I2VGen-XL** is built on Stable Diffusion, as shown in Fig.2, and uses a specially designed spatiotemporal UNet to perform spatiotemporal modeling in the latent space, and then reconstructs the final video through the decoder. In order to generate 720P videos, **I2VGen-XL** is divided into two stages. The first stage guarantees semantic consistency but with low resolution, while the second stage uses the DDIM inverse operation and applies denoising on a new VLDM to improve the resolution and spatiotemporal consistency of the video. Through joint optimization of the model, training, and data, this project has the following characteristics:
+As shown in Fig.2, **I2VGen-XL** is a video latent diffusion model. It utilizes our designed ST-UNet ((for model details, please refer to [VideoComposer](https://videocomposer.github.io))) to perform spatio-temporal modeling in the latent space and reconstruct the generated video through a decoder. In order to generate 720P videos, we divide I2VGen-XL into two stages. The first stage ensures semantic consistency with low resolutions, while the second stage utilizes the new VLDM to denoise and improve video resolution, as well as enhance temporal and spatial consistency. Through joint optimization of the model, data, and training, **I2VGen-XL** has the following characteristics.
 
 - High-definition & widescreen, can directly generate 720P (1280*720) resolution videos, and compared to existing open source projects, not only is the resolution effectively improved, but the widescreen videos it produces can also be suitable for more scenarios.
-- No watermark, the model is trained on a large-scale watermark-free video/image dataset internally and fine-tuned on high-quality data, generating watermark-free videos that can be applied to more video platforms and reducing many restrictions.
 - Continuity, through specific training and inference strategies, there is a significant improvement in the stability of detail generation in videos (in the time and space dimensions).
 - Good texture, by collecting specific style video data for training, the generated model has a significant improvement in texture and can generate technology, film color, cartoon style, sketch and other types of videos.
