Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image generation models, particularly diffusion models, struggle to accurately generate vector graphic patterns and ensure aesthetic quality in synthesized images.
Innovation Solution
The use of a diffusion prior model trained with upside down reinforcement learning (UDRL) to generate guidance features for pattern image generation, incorporating pattern classifier scores and aesthetic scores in input prompts, enhances the generation of visually appealing and seamless patterns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional diffusion models are used for image generation, then general image synthesis capability is achieved, but pattern image generation accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the image generation task into two distinct components: a prior model that generates guidance features from text prompts, and a diffusion model that synthesizes images based on those guidance features. This segmentation allows each model to specialize - the prior model focuses on understanding pattern requirements while the diffusion model handles image synthesis, thereby improving pattern image generation accuracy without relying solely on conventional diffusion models
Solution Approach 2:
The prior model acts as an intermediary between the text prompt and the diffusion model. It transforms the text prompt into guidance features that contain pattern-specific information, which then guides the diffusion model's image generation process. This intermediary component enables the system to achieve accurate pattern image generation while maintaining the strengths of conventional diffusion models
2Manufacturing precision
If conventional image generation models are used, then image synthesis is achieved, but aesthetic quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the generation process into two stages: first, the prior model generates guidance features that encode aesthetic and pattern information from the text prompt; second, the diffusion model uses these guidance features to synthesize the final image. This segmentation enables aesthetic quality improvement by concentrating aesthetic judgment in the prior model's guidance feature generation, while the diffusion model focuses on high-quality image synthesis
Solution Approach 2:
The prior model performs preliminary action by generating guidance features before the main image synthesis process. These guidance features contain pre-processed aesthetic and pattern information that prepares the diffusion model for high-quality generation. This preliminary preparation of guidance features enables the subsequent image synthesis to achieve higher aesthetic quality without requiring the diffusion model to handle all aspects of aesthetic judgment
3Manufacturing precision
If conventional diffusion models generate patterns, then image synthesis is achieved, but tileability and repeatability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the prior model continuously generates guidance features based on the text prompt and pattern requirements. These guidance features provide feedback to the diffusion model during the generation process, ensuring that the output maintains consistent tileability and repeatability. The prior model's guidance acts as a feedback loop that corrects and refines the pattern generation to achieve desired consistency
Solution Approach 2:
The prior model performs preliminary action by generating guidance features that encode tileability and repeatability requirements before the diffusion model begins image synthesis. This preliminary encoding of pattern consistency requirements in the guidance features enables the diffusion model to generate patterns with improved tileability and repeatability from the outset, rather than requiring post-processing corrections

AI summary
A method, apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and system for image generation include obtaining an input prompt comprising a pattern element and a target level of an image attribute. A guidance feature representing the pattern element is generated, using a prior model, based on the input prompt and the target level of the image attribute. The prior model is trained using reinforcement learning to generate guidance features for pattern image generation based on the target level of the image attribute. An image generation model generates a synthesized image based on the guidance feature. The synthesized image includes a set of versions of the pattern element with the target level of the image attribute.
