Scene Graph Conditioning in Latent Diffusion

Diffusion models excel in image generation but lack detailed semantic control using text prompts. Additional techniques have been developed to address this limitation. However, conditioning diffusion models solely on text-based descriptions is challenging due to ambiguity and lack of structure. In contrast, scene graphs offer a more precise representation of image content, making them superior for fine-grained control and accurate synthesis in image generation models. The amount of image and scene-graph data is sparse, which makes fine-tuning large diffusion models challenging. We propose multiple approaches to tackle this problem using ControlNet and Gated Self-Attention. We were able to show that using out proposed methods it is possible to generate images from scene graphs with much higher quality, outperforming previous methods.
