Programming logic and Python basics are desirable but not required
It is possible to follow the course without having technological skills
Description
The generation of images using Artificial Intelligence is an area that is gaining a lot of attention, both from technology professionals and people from other areas who want to create their own custom images. The tools used for this purpose are based on advanced and modern techniques from machine learning and computer vision, which can contribute to the creation of new compositions with high graphic quality. It is possible to create new images just by sending a textual description: you ask the AI (artificial intelligence) to create an image exactly as you want! For example, you can send the text “a cat reading a book in space” and the AI will create an image according to that description! This technique has been gaining a lot of attention in recent years and it tends to growth in the next few years.
There are several available tools for this purpose and one of the most used is Stable Diffusion developed by StabilityAI. It is Open Source, has great usability, speed, and is capable of generating high quality images. As it is open source, developers have created many extensions that are capable of generating an infinite variety of images in the most different styles.
In this course you will learn everything you need to know to create new images using Stable Diffusion and Python programming language. See below what you will learn in this course that is divided into six parts:
- Part 1: Stable Diffusion basics: Intuition on how the technology works and how to create the first images. You will also learn about the main parameters to get different results, as well as how to create images with different styles
- Part 2: Prompt Engineering: You will learn how to send the proper texts so the AI understands exactly what you want to generate
- Part 3: Training a custom model: How about putting your own photos in the most different environments? In this section you will learn how to use your own images and generate your avatars
- Part 4: Image to image: In addition to creating images by sending texts, it is also possible to send images as a starting point for the AI to generate the images
- Part 5: Inpainting – exchaning classes: You will learn how to edit images to remove objects or swap them. For example: remove the dog and replace it with a cat
- Part 6: ControlNet: In this section you will implement digital image processing techniques (edge and pose detection) to improve the results
All implementations will be done step by step in Google Colab online with GPU, so you don’t need a powerful computer to get amazing results in a matter of seconds! More than 50 lessons and more than 6 hours of videos!
Who this course is for
- People who want to learn how to create images using Artificial Intelligence
- People who want to create their own avatars
- Beginners in Computer Vision
- Undergraduate and graduate students who are taking courses on Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Image Processing or Computer Graphics

An excelent course! One of the best I've taken so far, the content and knowledge is 5-stars rating to me, taking this course your are able to make real whatever image you have in your imagination.However some minor details made me consider 4,5. For instance, some videos use a model of stable difussion uploaded by runwayml on huggingface , which is now not available (I had to search it on other repository) and a more natural communication from the teacher would hve been better (sometimes it seemed very structured to what has been written in the presentation or notebook). However, if you are looking for a way to create your own custom models and the different techniques of stable diffusion this is by far the best course! Very enjoyable

In the truth words, I will recommend who want to understand deeply and clearly about SD aka stable diffusion. (but so deep in math for researching) The course has covered all the things you need to know such as theory about SD, structure of it, etc. More over, he has provided code in colab notebook and clearly description about it before each line. I hope in the near future, there should be a course deeply into math for researcher. Sum up, it's worth. Thank you

Your course is great, and your accent is fine for me. I think the part that can be improved is the part about stable diffusion basic, which has many technical terms. Although I googled it, I still don't understand it well. I think you can let chatgpt generate more popular text or metaphors to make it easier for learners to understand. Thank you very much for your course.

The course offered valuable content and reference links, providing a solid introduction to various aspects of Stable Diffusion. While it serves well as a foundational course, it might benefit from diving deeper into advanced topics to become a mastery-level course. I found that significant time was spent by the presenter on reading the content aloud, which I felt could be streamlined/avoided to add more value. Skipping those parts helped me stay focused on the most beneficial sections and saved time.
Good Content but none of the Google collab resource works Kindly please update them
