Pose Guided Multi-person Image Generation From Text
Transformers have recently been shown to generate high quality images from texts. However, existing methods struggle to create high fidelity full-body images, especially multiple people. A person's pose has a high degree of freedom that is difficult to describe using words only; this creates errors in the generated image, such as incorrect body proportions and pose. We propose a pose-guided text-to-image model, using pose as an additional input constraint. Using the proposed Keypoint Pose Encoding (KPE) to encode human pose into low dimensional representation, our model can generate novel multi-person images accurately representing the pose and text descriptions provided, with minimal errors. We demonstrate that KPE is invariant to changes in the target image domain and image resolution; we show results on the Deepfashion dataset and create a new multi-person Deepfashion dataset to demonstrate the multi-capabilities of our approach.
