Our layout-to-image-generation method, which we call Object-Centric Generative Adversarial Network (or OC-GAN), re…

Tell, Draw, and Repeat: Generating and Modifying Images Based on Continual Linguistic Instruction

ICCV 2019poster

Conditional text-to-image generation is an active area of research, with many possible applications. Existing research has primarily focused on generating a single image from available conditioning information in one step. One practical extension beyond one-step generation is a system that generates…
