Abstract

Recent advancements in the field of generative artificial intelligence have made it possible for text-to-image models to generate high quality images from natural language prompts. Despite these advancements, generating outputs such as cartoon aesthetics remains a challenge due to the need for structured prompts and generation parameters. This can limit users without any prior art experience or those who have not used such models before. This project therefore focuses on the development of an interactive image generation system which aims to allow users with no prior art experience to visualize their ideas through a simple and intuitive text input, with the output emphasizing on generating cartoon-style images. The system leverages on the Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large (SD3.5) model as its core model. The system is also built using a modular architecture which separated the inference pipeline from the user interface, allowing flexibility and scalability. The system supports multiple functions. These include text-to-image generation, image-to image generation, and inpainting for more targeted editing. A prompt helper powered by a large language model is also introduced. The prompt helper helps users to transform their inputs into more structured and model-friendly prompts. This improves output consistency and makes it more user friendly. The application is deployed using a Gradio interface. This allows users to interactively adjust generation parameters such as inference steps,…
