Overview
A text-to-image generation technique that produces photorealistic or stylized images from natural language descriptions using diffusion models.
Description
Image Generation transforms text prompts into visual content using diffusion-based generative models (such as Imagen). The process starts with random noise and iteratively denoises it, guided by the text prompt, to produce a coherent image. Parameters control the number of images generated, aspect ratio, negative prompts (to exclude unwanted elements), and safety filtering levels. This capability enables creative applications, content creation, prototyping, and visual communication.
Usage
Use image generation when you need to create visual content from text descriptions. Provide detailed, descriptive prompts for best results. Use negative prompts to exclude unwanted elements. Adjust aspect ratio for different use cases (square for social media, widescreen for presentations). Generate multiple images to select the best result.
Theoretical Basis
Diffusion models generate images through iterative denoising:
Where:
- x_t is the noisy image at timestep t
- ε_θ is the learned denoising network conditioned on text c
- α_t controls the noise schedule
- The process runs from t = T (pure noise) to t = 0 (clean image)
The text condition c is encoded by a language model and guides the denoising toward the described content.
