New computer vision tool wins prize for social impact

A team of computer scientists working on two different problems — how to quickly detect damaged buildings in crisis zones and how to accurately estimate the size of bird flocks — recently announced an AI framework that can do both. The framework, called DISCount, blends the speed and massive data-crunching power of artificial intelligence with …

Prompting Techniques for Stable Diffusion

Generating pictures using Stable Diffusion in all cases would involve to submit a prompt to the pipeline. This is only one of the parameters, but the most important one. An incomplete or poorly constructed prompt would make the resulting image not as you would expect. In this post, you will learn some key techniques to …
