Abstract

The rapid development of deep learning techniques has considerably boosted the development of text-to-image synthesis. Nowadays, a large number of generation models based on deep learning algorithms have emerged in the field of image generation. In this thesis, I recognise the importance of text semantic layout and propose two novel generation models, Obj-SA-GAN and Swinv2-Imagen. These two models use different algorithms to mine the text semantics, and both improve the quality of the generated images compared to baselines. In recent years, text-to-image synthesis techniques have made considerable breakthroughs, but the progress is restricted to simple scenes. Such techniques turn out to be ineffective if the text appears complex and contains multiple objects. To address this challenging issue, I propose a novel text-to-image synthesis model called Object-driven Self-Attention Generative Adversarial Network (Obj-SA-GAN), where self-attention mechanisms are utilised to analyse the information with different granularities at different stages, achieving full exploitation of text semantic information from coarse to fine. Complex datasets are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. The experimental results explicitly show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. This is because the proposed Obj-SA-GAN model improves text utilisation and provides a better understanding of complex scenarios. In addition, diffusion models have been proven to perform…
