TEXT TO VIDEO USING GANS AND DIFFUSION MODELS


(Received: 21-Feb.-2024, Revised: 5-Apr.-2024 , Accepted: 24-Apr.-2024)
The challenging endeavour of text-to-video creation requires transforming text descriptions into realistic and cohesive videos. This field of study has made substantial progress in recent years, with the development of diffusion models and generative adversarial networks (GANs). This study examines the most modern text-to-video generation models, as well as the various steps involved in text-to-video generation, including temporal coherence, video generation and text encoding. We additionally emphasise the challenges involved with text-to-video generation, as well as recent advances to overcome these issues. The most frequently used datasets and metrics in this field are also analyzed and reviewed.
