Artificial Intelligence Generated Coins for Size Comparison
This addresses a practical issue for scientific authors who need accurate size comparisons in photographs, though it appears incremental as it adapts existing AI image generation to a specific use case.
The authors tackled the problem of providing size references in photos by proposing a method that uses AI-generated images of coins, eliminating the need for physical coins and allowing coins to be added post-capture, with the newest generation enabling quick, realistic image generation from text.
Authors of scientific articles use coins in photographs as a size reference for objects. For this purpose, coins are placed next to objects when taking the photo. In this letter we propose a novel method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) generated images of coins to provide a size reference in photos. The newest generation is able to quickly generate realistic high-quality images from textual descriptions. With the proposed method no physical coin is required while taking photos. Coins can be added to photos that contain none. Furthermore, we show how the coin motif can be matched to the object.
