Master the essential models, algorithms, tools, and techniques for interpreting and generating images using AI.
From digital special effects to medical image augmentation and analysis, generative AI is revolutionizing the way we create and interpret visual information. Innovations including diffusion models, text-to-image generators, GANs, and more help you create photorealistic graphics, empower creative expression with text-to-image tools, and accurately recognize and describe visual elements for applications like image search. Image Generation Models will teach you the foundations of modern computer vision and equip you with the practical techniques you need to bring your ideas to life.
In Image Generation Models you’ll learn about:
Image Generation Models guides you from core concepts of digital image creation to the cutting edge of AI-powered visual computing. You’ll unpack tools like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion and learn to build your own by following the detailed code samples and practical tutorials.

about the book
Image Generation Models explores the inner workings of the generative AI models behind modern computer vision. You’ll start by developing a simple autoencoder and extending it into a variational autoencoder for image generation. Next, you’ll dive deep into GANs and discover how to upgrade their performance with next-generation techniques like Wasserstein GAN. Create your own denoising diffusion probabilistic models that can generate original imagery, and even implement a simplified text-to-image model! Plus, you’ll explore hybrid models that benefit from the strengths of multiple approaches, and even video-based generative AI. Throughout, real-world case studies demonstrate how these models can be put into action.about the reader
For AI enthusiasts, developers, and data scientists familiar with machine learning basics and Python programming.about the author
Vladimir Bok is a founding Applied AI Researcher at Mirage Security, a VC-backed startup developing AI simulations for enterprise security training and awareness. Prior to Mirage, Vladimir led AI/ML initiatives at tech industry giants including Meta and Microsoft, as well as various startups in ad tech, fintech, and biotech. He is a coauthor of GANs in Action. Vladimir holds a Computer Science degree from Harvard University.This book perfectly aligns with the growing interest and provides the necessary foundations for researchers, technical and marketing professionals to advance their story telling or visual representation skills leveraging AI.
A beginner-friendly, easy-to-read introduction, recommended for anyone new to the field. The coding part (code snippets and comments) is some of the best I've ever read.
Many different subject areas and use cases are alluded to throughout the book and, once the Transformer section is ready, I feel that this book covers foundations to frontier very well and provides lots of excellent references for those who want to dig deeper.
