The paper proposes a novel architecture called OmniControlNet, which integrates external condition generation algorithms into a single dense prediction method, and incorporates individually trained image generation processes into a single model. The ControlNet is widely adopted in the field, but has limitations due to its two-stage pipeline structure and large model redundancy. To address these issues, the authors design a multi-tasking dense prediction algorithm that can generate conditions such as edges, depth maps, user scribble, and animal pose under task embedding guidance. Additionally, they incorporate textual embedding guidance for image generation processes for different conditioning types. The proposed architecture achieves significantly reduced model complexity and redundancy while maintaining comparable quality in conditioned text-to-image generation.

The paper creates a new way to generate images based on conditions like edges, depth maps, or user scribble. This is called OmniControlNet. Right now, we have two separate models for this: one that generates the condition and another that generates the image. But these models are big and take up a lot of space. The authors want to make it better by combining them into one model. They use special guidance to help the model learn to generate different conditions and images. This new model is smaller and more efficient, but still produces great results.
