Text-to-image Diffusion Models in Generative AI: A Survey

Zhang, Chenshuang, Zhang, Chaoning, Zhang, Mengchun et al.

Understand

This survey reviews the progress of diffusion models in generating images from text, ~\textit{i.e.} text-to-image diffusion models.

  • As a self-contained work, this survey starts with a brief introduction of how diffusion models work for image synthesis, followed by the background for text-conditioned image synthesis.
  • Based on that, we present an organized review of pioneering methods and their improvements on text-to-image generation.
  • We further summarize applications beyond image generation, such as text-guided generation for various modalities like videos, and text-guided image editing.
