HunyuanVideo-I2V Overall Architecture

Leveraging the advanced video generation capabilities of HunyuanVideo, we have extended its application to image-to-video generation tasks. To achieve this, we employ a token replace technique to effectively reconstruct and incorporate reference image information into the video generation process.

Since we utilizes a pre-trained Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) with a Decoder-Only architecture as the text encoder, we can significantly enhance the model's ability to comprehend the semantic content of the input image and to seamlessly integrate information from both the image and its associated caption. Specifically, the input image is processed by the MLLM to generate semantic image tokens. These tokens are then concatenated with the video latent tokens, enabling comprehensive full-attention computation across the combined data.

The overall architecture of our system is designed to maximize the synergy between image and text modalities, ensuring a robust and coherent generation of video content from static images. This integration not only improves the fidelity of the generated videos but also enhances the model's ability to interpret and utilize complex multimodal inputs. The overall architecture is as follows.

📜 Requirements

The following table shows the requirements for running HunyuanVideo-I2V model (batch size = 1) to generate videos:
