ProgressNet enables real-time progressive drawing with frozen text-to-image models

Researchers have developed ProgressNet, a novel framework that enables frozen text-to-image models to engage in progressive drawing sessions. This method allows users to add or erase strokes and revise prompts, with the image updating in near real-time, approximately one second per turn. ProgressNet requires no new parameters and utilizes three inference-time mechanisms to maintain fidelity and coherence across different sketch domains, outperforming existing methods and user preferences. AI

IMPACT This framework could significantly enhance user interaction with image generation models, making the creative process more intuitive and iterative.

    ProgressNet: Sketching and Prompting with a Frozen Text-to-Image Model

    arXiv:2610.03512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans draw progressively: a few strokes, a look at the result, a stroke erased, a prompt revised. Image generators do not work this way. They typically take a finished sketch and produce the image in a single pass, so every edit st…
