Text-to-Image Generation Systems

In recent years, AI systems have transformed how we create visual content, enabling the generation of images from text descriptions. This lesson explores the architecture and workflows behind text-to-image generation systems, describing their key components and processes. Let’s explore how these systems work!

Overview of image generation systems

Text-to-image generation systems transform textual descriptions into visual imagery. Think of them as artistic AI systems that can perform tasks like creating illustrations, generating product mockups, or designing visual content. Let’s use a real-world analogy to understand a text-to-image generation system and its essential components.

Imagine a modern digital photography studio with three interconnected departments. In the client consultation room, photographers discuss requirements (prompt interpretation). Similarly, in the shooting spaces, multiple photographers capture and edit images (generation process). And behind the scenes, technical teams manage equipment and scheduling (system coordination).
