I have conducted some simple trials and comparisons of the image recognition capabilities of these Anthropic Claude models, particularly focusing on their OCR (Optical Character Recognition) performance. You can find the details in the article below:

In this article, I will introduce an example of using Amazon Bedrock to further utilize the image recognition capabilities of Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet to verify and regenerate images created by Stability AI Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL).
This attempt also aims to reduce the amount of human visual inspection work by automatically determining whether generated images meet requirements.

Architecture Diagram and Process Flow
The architecture diagram to realize this theme is as follows:![Using Amazon Bedrock to repeatedly generate images with Stable Diffusion XL via Claude 3.5 Sonnet until requirements are met](https://hidekazu-konishi.com/images/amazon_bedrock_gen_images_with_sdxl_via_claude_3-5_until_requirements_are_met_000.png)
Here's a detailed explanation of this process flow:
1. Input an event containing prompts and parameters. 2-1. Execute the SDXL model on Amazon Bedrock with the input prompt instructing image creation. 2-2. Save the generated image to Amazon S3. 2-3. Execute the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model on Amazon Bedrock for the image saved in Amazon S3 to verify if it meets the requirements of the prompt that instructed image creation. * If it's not deemed suitable for the requirements of the prompt that instructed image creation, repeat processesThe key point in this process flow is the modification of the prompt instructing image creation by the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model.2-1
to2-3
for the specified number of executions with the same prompt. * If it's deemed suitable for the requirements of the prompt that instructed image creation, output that image as the result. 3. If the number of modified prompt executions has not been exceeded and the number of times deemed unsuitable for the requirements of the prompt that instructed image creation exceeds the number of executions with the same prompt, execute the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model on Amazon Bedrock to modify the prompt instructing image creation to one that is more likely to meet the requirements. Restart the process from2-1
with this new prompt instructing image creation. * If the number of modified prompt executions is exceeded, end the process as an error.
If the prompt instructing image creation is easily understandable to AI, there's a high possibility that an image meeting the requirements will be output after several executions.
However, if the prompt instructing image creation is difficult for AI to understand, it's possible that an image meeting the requirements may not be output.
Therefore, when the specified number of executions with the same prompt is exceeded, I included a process to execute the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model on Amazon Bedrock and modify the prompt instructing image creation to an optimized one.

Execution Details and Results
An Example of Execution: Input Parameters
{ "prompt": "自然の中から見た夜景で、空にはオーロラと月と流星群があり、地上には海が広がって流氷が流れ、地平線から太陽が出ている無人の写真。", "max_retry_attempts": 5, "max_prompt_revisions": 5, "output_s3_bucket_name": "ho2k.com", "output_s3_key_prefix": "generated-images", "claude_validate_temperature": 1, "claude_validate_top_p": 0.999, "claude_validate_top_k": 250, "claude_validate_max_tokens": 4096, "claude_revise_temperature": 1, "claude_revise_top_p": 0.999, "claude_revise_top_k": 250, "claude_revise_max_tokens": 4096, "sdxl_cfg_scale": 30, "sdxl_steps": 150, "sdxl_width": 1024, "sdxl_height": 1024, "sdxl_seed": 0 }* The Japanese text set in the
prompt
above translates to the following meaning in English:"A night view from nature, with aurora, moon, and meteor shower in the sky, the sea spreading on the ground with drifting ice, and the sun rising from the horizon in an uninhabited photograph."
In this execution, I am attempting to optimize instructions given in Japanese sentences that are not optimized as prompts for Stable Diffusion XL through prompt modification by Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
The input parameters for this execution example include the following considerations:
max_retry_attempts
is set to 5 to increase the success rate of image generation.max_prompt_revisions
is set to 5, providing more opportunities to improve the prompt if needed.- Parameters for Claude model for image validation and revision (temperature, top_p, top_k, max_tokens) are finely set.
sdxl_cfg_scale
is set to 30 to increase fidelity to the prompt.sdxl_steps
is set to 150 to improve the quality of image generation.- The
seed
used for image generation is set to be random, ensuring different images are generated each time.
An Example of Execution: Results
Generated Image
The final image that met the prompt requirements and passed verification in this trial is shown below.This image actually meets almost all the requirements of "自然の中から見た夜景で、空にはオーロラと月と流星群があり、地上には海が広がって流氷が流れ、地平線から太陽が出ている無人の写真。"(The meaning is "A night view from nature, with aurora, moon, and meteor shower in the sky, the sea spreading on the ground with drifting ice, and the sun rising from the horizon in an uninhabited photograph.")
(While the visualization of the meteor shower and drifting ice is weak, the contradictory scenery of the moon and the sun on the horizon is clearly expressed.)
Also, compared to other images generated earlier (see "List of Generated Images" below), we confirmed that the final image that passed verification satisfied more of the specified requirements.
![Image that met prompt requirements and passed verification](https://hidekazu-konishi.com/images/amazon_bedrock_gen_images_with_sdxl_via_claude_3-5_until_requirements_are_met_001.png)
Here is a list of images generated during this trial run.
Each row of images in this "List of Generated Images" was generated from different modified prompts.
While the image output from the initial Japanese text prompt is far from the requirements, the images output from the first prompt modification onwards are closer to the requirements.

Changes in Modified Prompts
Each row of images in the "List of Generated Images" shown above was generated from different modified prompts.Specifically, the image in the first row of the "List of Generated Images" was generated from the "0th modification" prompt below, while the image in the last row was generated from the "3rd modification" prompt below.
Let's look at the content of the modified image generation prompts for each number of prompt modifications.
0th modification
自然の中から見た夜景で、空にはオーロラと月と流星群があり、地上には海が広がって流氷が流れ、地平線から太陽が出ている無人の写真。* The meaning is "A night view from nature, with aurora, moon, and meteor shower in the sky, the sea spreading on the ground with drifting ice, and the sun rising from the horizon in an uninhabited photograph."

Breathtaking nightscape from nature's perspective, vibrant aurora borealis (aurora:1.2) dancing across the starry sky, crescent moon illuminating the scene, meteor shower streaking through the atmosphere, vast ocean with floating ice floes, sun peeking over the horizon creating a golden glow, no human presence, photorealistic, highly detailed, 8k resolution, dramatic lighting, wide-angle composition, inspired by Thomas Kinkade and Aurora HDR style, serene and awe-inspiring moodParticularly when viewed in conjunction with the "List of Generated Images" mentioned above, it becomes apparent that the initial Japanese text prompt was not optimized for image generation, resulting in output images that deviate significantly from the requirements.
On the other hand, from the first revision onwards, Claude 3.5 Sonnet modified the prompt to be optimized for image generation, leading to output images that more closely align with the requirements.
In this way, the images changed with each prompt modification and generation execution, and ultimately, an image that met the prompt requirements passed verification.

Summary
In this article, I introduced an example of using Amazon Bedrock to validate images generated by Stability AI Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) using the image recognition feature of Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and regenerate them until they meet the requirements.From the results of this attempt, I found that the image recognition feature of the Claude 3.5 Sonnet can recognize not only OCR but also what is depicted in the image and what it expresses, and can be used to verify whether the image meets the requirements.
I also confirmed that the Claude 3.5 Sonnet can modify and optimize the content of the prompt itself.
Moreover, and most importantly, by automatically determining whether generated images meet requirements using these functions, I was able to significantly reduce the amount of human visual inspection work.
This image recognition feature and high text editing capability of the Claude 3.5 Sonnet can potentially be applied to processes that have been difficult to automate until now, including controlling other image generation AI models as in this example.
I will continue to watch for updates to AI models supported by Amazon Bedrock, including Anthropic Claude models, implementation methods, and combinations with other services.
