Image Generation with AI: Technological Advancement in the Field of Artificial Intelligence
Generating Images from Text with AI
Recently, I have discovered a fascinating artificial intelligence (AI) technology that has allowed me to generate realistic images from text. This incredible tool uses an algorithm called Stable Diffusion and has been developed by OpenAI, a renowned company in the field of AI.
What is Stable Diffusion?
Stable Diffusion is an image generation technology that uses AI and is based on the DALL-E model. Unlike other similar solutions, Stable Diffusion is open source, which means it is accessible to all developers interested in using it and modifying it according to their needs.
How to Generate Images from Text
The process of generating images from text is truly fascinating. To begin, it is important to have suitable hardware, as the process can be slow without the necessary processing power. If you don't have powerful hardware, you can use cloud tools like Google Colab to take advantage of the computing power they offer.
Next, I will show you an example of how I generated images using this technology:
Step 1: Dataset Preparation
To generate images of my dog named Manchita, I collected a set of photos of her in different poses. However, the results were not satisfactory, as the generated images were not very realistic.
You can see the images, the ones at the top are real, the ones at the bottom are generated.
Then, I decided to try with the dataset of Manchita's sister, named Yeye. This time, the results were much better.
The following are real images of Yeye:
Step 2: Image Generation from Text
Using the Stable Diffusion model, I inputted different texts or "prompts" to generate images of Yeye. Below are the prompts and the generated images:
"Photo of my_yeye, digital painting"
"Photo of my_yeye"
"my_yeye with flowers" - "my_yeye is blue with hat" -"my_yeye with hat"
"my_yeye is a tatto"
"my_yeye is brown" - "my_yeye is green" - "my_yeye is blue" - "my_yeye is white"
"my_yeye in the pool"
"A portrait of an anthropomorphic cyberpunk greyhound my_yeye eating a donut, cyberpunk!, fantasy, elegant, digital painting, artstation, concept art, matte, sharp focus, illustration, art by josan gonzalez"
These images showcase the incredible power of AI to generate visual content from text.
Conclusions
The technology of generating images from text using AI has advanced significantly in recent years. Thanks to tools like Stable Diffusion, it is possible to create realistic and high-quality images with just a few text commands. This has great potential for various applications, such as generating dynamic content for websites, product images, digital portraits, and much more.
