• Authors: Jingye Chen, Yupan Huang, Tengchao Lv, Lei Cui, Qifeng Chen, Furu Wei
• Abstract summary: We introduce TextDiffuser, focusing on generating images with visually appealing text that is coherent with backgrounds. We contribute the first large-scale text images dataset with OCR annotations, MARIO-10M, containing 10 million image-text pairs. We show that TextDiffuser is flexible and controllable to create high-quality text images using text prompts alone or together with text template images, and conduct text inpainting to reconstruct incomplete images with text.

• Abstract: Diffusion models have gained increasing attention for their impressive generation abilities but currently struggle with rendering accurate and coherent text. To address this issue, we introduce TextDiffuser, focusing on generating images with visually appealing text that is coherent with backgrounds. TextDiffuser consists of two stages: first, a Transformer model generates the layout of keywords extracted from text prompts, and then diffusion models generate images conditioned on the text prompt and the generated layout. Additionally, we contribute the first large-scale text images dataset with OCR annotations, MARIO-10M, containing 10 million image-text pairs with text recognition, detection, and character-level segmentation annotations. We further collect the MARIO-Eval benchmark to serve as a comprehensive tool for evaluating text rendering quality. Through experiments and user studies, we show that TextDiffuser is flexible and controllable to create high-quality text images using text prompts alone or together with text template images, and conduct text inpainting to reconstruct incomplete images with text. The code, model, and dataset will be available at \url{https://aka.ms/textdiffuser}.

  We propose a visual text generator (termed SceneVTG) which can produce high-quality text images in the wild. The proposed SceneVTG significantly outperforms traditional rendering-based methods and recent diffusion-based methods in terms of fidelity and reasonability. The generated images provide superior utility for tasks involving text detection and text recognition.
