ControlNet is a recent advancement in conditional image generation using diffusion models, which has shown great potential in achieving high-quality images while adhering to user-defined constraints. This technology enables precise alignment between ground truth segmentation masks and generated image content, enhancing training datasets for segmentation tasks. Inspired by active learning, ControlNet can be guided to generate the most informative synthetic samples for specific tasks. By integrating active learning-based selection metrics into the backward diffusion process, ControlNet can generate samples based on uncertainty, query by committee, and expected model change. This training-free approach modifies only the backward diffusion process, allowing it to be used on any pretrained ControlNet. The method demonstrates that segmentation models trained with guided synthetic data outperform those trained on non-guided synthetic data, highlighting the potential of advanced control mechanisms for diffusion-based models.
