TIE: Revolutionizing Text-based Image Editing for Complex-Prompt Following and High-Fidelity Editing

As the field of image generation rapidly advances, traditional diffusion models and those integrated with multimodal large language models (LLMs) still encounter limitations in interpreting complex prompts and preserving image consistency pre and post-editing. To tackle these challenges, we present an innovative image editing framework that employs the robust Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning and localizing capabilities of multimodal LLMs to aid diffusion models in generating more refined images. We first meticulously design a CoT process comprising instruction decomposition, region localization, and detailed description. Subsequently, we fine-tune the LISA model, a lightweight multimodal LLM, using the CoT process of Multimodal LLMs and the mask of the edited image. By providing the diffusion models with knowledge of the generated prompt and image mask, our models generate images with a superior understanding of instructions. Through extensive experiments, our model has demonstrated superior performance in image generation, surpassing existing state-of-the-art models. Notably, our model exhibits an enhanced ability to understand complex prompts and generate corresponding images, while maintaining high fidelity and consistency in images before and after generation.
