Question: What is the conclusion of comparison of proposed solution?
Evidence: While we gathered all the data we could find on scores for each model on the CUB, Oxford, and COCO datasets using IS, FID, FCN, and human classifiers, we unfortunately were unable to find certain data for AttnGAN and HDGAN (missing in Table TABREF48). The best evaluation we can give for those with missing data is our own opinions by looking at examples of generated images provided in their papers. In this regard, we observed that HDGAN produced relatively better visual results on the CUB and Oxford datasets while AttnGAN produced far more impressive results than the rest on the more complex COCO dataset. This is evidence that the attentional model and DAMSM introduced by AttnGAN are very effective in producing high-quality images. Examples of the best results of birds and plates of vegetables generated by each model are presented in Figures FIGREF50 and FIGREF51, respectively.
blackIn terms of inception score (IS), which is the metric that was applied to majority models except DC-GAN, the results in Table TABREF48 show that StackGAN++ only showed slight improvement over its predecessor, StackGAN, for text-to-image synthesis. However, StackGAN++ did introduce a very worthy enhancement for unconditional image generation by organizing the generators and discriminators in a “tree-like” structure. This indicates that revising the structures of the discriminators and/or generators can bring a moderate level of improvement in text-to-image synthesis.
blackIn addition, the results in Table TABREF48 also show that DM-GAN BIBREF53 has the best performance, followed by Obj-GAN BIBREF81. Notice that both DM-GAN and Obj-GAN are most recently developed methods in the field (both published in 2019), indicating that research in text to image synthesis is continuously improving the results for better visual perception and interception. Technical wise, DM-GAN BIBREF53 is a model using dynamic memory to refine fuzzy image contents initially generated from the GAN networks. A memory writing gate is used for DM-GAN to select important text information and generate images based on he selected text accordingly. On the other hand, Obj-GAN BIBREF81 focuses on object centered text-to-image synthesis. The proposed framework of Obj-GAN consists of a layout generation, including a bounding box generator and a shape generator, and an object-driven attentive image generator. The designs and advancement of DM-GAN and Obj-GAN indicate that research in text-to-image synthesis is advancing to put more emphasis on the image details and text semantics for better understanding and perception.

Answer: The answers are shown as follows:
* HDGAN produced relatively better visual results on the CUB and Oxford datasets while AttnGAN produced far more impressive results than the rest on the more complex COCO dataset
* In terms of inception score (IS), which is the metric that was applied to majority models except DC-GAN, the results in Table TABREF48 show that StackGAN++ only showed slight improvement over its predecessor
* text to image synthesis is continuously improving the results for better visual perception and interception
