概要：As stable diffusion models that perform high-quality image generation have attracted more attention, it has become important to evaluate their quality. The synthetic image metrics are categorized into two types of measures: the first type focuses on image quality, while the second type concentrates on text-image alignment. To evaluate text-image alignment, a new metric called the Text-Image Alignment Metric (TIAM) is proposed. This metric checks the alignment between the content specified in a prompt and the corresponding generated image, based on a prompt template. TIAM enables a more comprehensive evaluation of the alignment between text prompts and images in terms of the type, number, and color of the specified objects. To identify the specified objects, TIAM uses a pre-trained object detection and segmentation model YOLOv8. However, the pre-trained models cannot be used for classes or image styles that have not been pre-trained except for fine-tuning. For non-professional users, fine-tuning a model or preparing a training dataset is difficult. In this paper, we extend TIAM to support various classes and styles by utilizing the attention maps acquired during the image generation process and the language-vision model (e.g., BLIP2). The experimental results indicate that the proposed method allows us to evaluate diverse images without requiring additional steps, such as fine-tuning.
