TY - JOUR TI - Adding Conditional Control to Text-to-Image Diffusion Models (ControlNet) AU - Zhang, L. AU - Rao, A. AU - Agrawala, M. PY - 2023 DA - 2023/10// JO - IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2023) AB - ControlNet introduces a neural network architecture that adds spatial conditioning inputs (pose skeletons, depth maps, edge maps, and other structural signals) to pretrained text-to-image diffusion models without requiring full retraining. The result is controllable image generation where the spatial layout and character pose can be specified precisely, a capability that has become foundational in AI character design workflows. With over 5,000 citations, ControlNet is a landmark of the generative image field and appears in virtually every node-based workflow taught in animation and concept art courses today.
