DreamOmni is a unified image generation and editing model jointly launched by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, ByteDance, and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The model integrates text-to-image (T2I) generation and various editing tasks, including instruction-based editing, inpainting, drag-based editing, and reference-guided image generation. DreamOmni addresses the challenge of creating high-quality editing data through an efficient synthetic data pipeline, supporting model training and scalability. By jointly training T2I and editing tasks, it enhances the understanding of concepts and improves image generation quality. In extensive experimental evaluations, DreamOmni demonstrates significant advantages in image generation and editing tasks with outstanding performance.

Main Features of DreamOmni

Unified Image Generation and Editing: DreamOmni can handle text-to-image generation (T2I) as well as various image editing tasks, such as instruction-based editing, inpainting (e.g., restoration and outpainting), drag-based editing, and reference-guided image generation.
Synthetic Data Pipeline: Efficiently and accurately synthesizes large-scale high-quality editing data using sticker-like elements to support unified model training.
Joint Training: Combines T2I data and data from various editing tasks for training, enhancing the model's understanding of specific concepts, improving generation quality, and boosting editing performance.
Multi-task Support: The model can understand and execute operations such as adding, removing, and replacing elements, as well as editing tasks like translation, rotation, and scaling of images.

Technical Principles of DreamOmni

Framework Design: Integrates the T2I model with various editing tasks to achieve multi-task learning.
Vision-Language Model (VLM): Unifies the encoding of visual and language prompts based on VLM, combining the encoded prompts with noisy latent representations for joint computation.
Synthetic Data Generation: Using a synthetic collage data pipeline, DreamOmni can create precise editing data to support operations like adding, deleting, replacing, drag-based editing, and reference-guided image generation.
Multimodal Input Compatibility: The simple framework design is compatible with multimodal inputs, enabling DreamOmni to handle complex prompts and image conditions.
Training Strategy: DreamOmni adopts a staged training strategy, progressively training from low resolution to high resolution to optimize model performance and training efficiency.
Optimization Techniques: Utilizes techniques like Rectified Flow to optimize the model, employing linear interpolation between noise and data for forward processes, improving generation quality and efficiency.
