Text-driven person image generation is an emerging and challenging task in cross-modality image generation. Controllable person image generation promotes a wide range of applications such as digital human interaction and virtual try-on. However, previous methods mostly employ single-modality information as the prior condition (e.g. pose-guided person image generation), or utilize the preset words for text-driven human synthesis. Introducing a sentence composed of free words with an editable semantic pose map to describe person appearance is a more user-friendly way. In this paper, we propose HumanDiffusion, a coarse-to-fine alignment diffusion framework, for text-driven person image generation. Specifically, two collaborative modules are proposed, the Stylized Memory Retrieval (SMR) module for fine-grained feature distillation in data processing and the Multi-scale Cross-modality Alignment (MCA) module for coarse-to-fine feature alignment in diffusion. These two modules guarantee the alignment quality of the text and image, from image-level to feature-level, from low-resolution to high-resolution. As a result, HumanDiffusion realizes open-vocabulary person image generation with desired semantic poses. Extensive experiments conducted on DeepFashion demonstrate the superiority of our method compared with previous approaches. Moreover, better results could be obtained for complicated person images with various details and uncommon poses.
