MaskGIT: Masked Generative Image Transformer

Understand

Generative transformers have experienced rapid popularity growth in the computer vision community in synthesizing high-fidelity and high-resolution images.

• The best generative transformer models so far, however, still treat an image naively as a sequence of tokens, and decode an image sequentially following the raster scan ordering (i.e.
• line-by-line).
• We find this strategy neither optimal nor efficient.
