Enhancing Image Layout Control with Loss-Guided Diffusion Models
<|reference_start|>Enhancing Image Layout Control with Loss-Guided Diffusion Models: Diffusion models are a powerful class of generative models capable of producing high-quality images from pure noise using a simple text prompt. While most methods which introduce additional spatial constraints into the generated images (e.g., bounding boxes) require fine-tuning, a smaller and more recent subset of these methods take advantage of the models' attention mechanism, and are training-free. These methods generally fall into one of two categories. The first entails modifying the cross-attention maps of specific tokens directly to enhance the signal in certain regions of the image. The second works by defining a loss function over the cross-attention maps, and using the gradient of this loss to guide the latent. While previous work explores these as alternative strategies, we provide an interpretation for these methods which highlights their complimentary features, and demonstrate that it is possible to obtain superior performance when both methods are used in concert.<|reference_end|>
