UniControl: A Unified Diffusion Model for Controllable Visual Generation In the Wild

Understand

Achieving machine autonomy and human control often represent divergent objectives in the design of interactive AI systems.

• Visual generative foundation models such as Stable Diffusion show promise in navigating these goals, especially when prompted with arbitrary languages.
• However, they often fall short in generating images with spatial, structural, or geometric controls.
• The integration of such controls, which can accommodate various visual conditions in a single unified model, remains an unaddressed challenge.
