• Abstract summary: We propose a new presentation form for Story Visualization called Storyboard, inspired by film-making. Within each scene in Storyboard, characters engage in activities at the same location, necessitating both visually consistent scenes and characters. Our method could be seamlessly integrated into mainstream Image Customization methods, empowering them with the capability of story visualization.

• Abstract: Story Visualization aims to generate images aligned with story prompts, reflecting the coherence of storybooks through visual consistency among characters and scenes.Whereas current approaches exclusively concentrate on characters and neglect the visual consistency among contextually correlated scenes, resulting in independent character images without inter-image coherence.To tackle this issue, we propose a new presentation form for Story Visualization called Storyboard, inspired by film-making, as illustrated in Fig.1.Specifically, a Storyboard unfolds a story into visual representations scene by scene. Within each scene in Storyboard, characters engage in activities at the same location, necessitating both visually consistent scenes and characters.For Storyboard, we design a general framework coined as Make-A-Storyboard that applies disentangled control over the consistency of contextual correlated characters and scenes and then merge them to form harmonized images.Extensive experiments demonstrate 1) Effectiveness.the effectiveness of the method in story alignment, character consistency, and scene correlation; 2) Generalization. Our method could be seamlessly integrated into mainstream Image Customization methods, empowering them with the capability of story visualization.

  Existing autoregressive methods struggle with high memory usage, slow generation speeds, and limited context integration. We propose ContextualStory, a novel framework designed to generate coherent story frames and extend frames for story continuation. In experiments on PororoSV and FlintstonesSV benchmarks, ContextualStory significantly outperforms existing methods in both story visualization and story continuation.

  Story visualization aims to generate realistic and coherent images based on a storyline. Current models adopt a frame-by-frame architecture by transforming the pre-trained text-to-image model into an auto-regressive manner. We propose a bidirectional, unified, and efficient framework, namely StoryImager.

  This paper introduces SCO-VIST, a framework representing the image sequence as a graph with objects and relations. SCO-VIST then takes this graph representing plot points and creates bridges between plot points with semantic and occurrence-based edge weights. This weighted story graph produces the storyline in a sequence of events using Floyd-Warshall's algorithm.

  Current work on image-based story generation suffers from the fact that the existing image sequence collections do not have coherent plots behind them. We improve visual story generation by producing a new image-grounded dataset, Visual Writing Prompts (VWP). VWP contains almost 2K selected sequences of movie shots, each including 5-10 images. The image sequences are aligned with a total of 12K stories which were collected via crowdsourcing given the image sequences and a set of grounded characters from the corresponding image sequence.

  We propose a novel autoregressive diffusion-based framework with a visual memory module that implicitly captures the actor and background context. Our method outperforms prior state-of-the-art in generating frames with high visual quality. Our experiments for story generation on the MUGEN, the PororoSV and the FlintstonesSV dataset show that our method not only outperforms prior state-of-the-art in generating frames with high visual quality, but also models appropriate correspondences between the characters and the background.
