Historical context & research account

StackGAN uses a two-stage process that first turns a description into low-resolution structure and then refines it into a higher-resolution image. It is a significant branch of text-to-image research before DALL·E and Imagen, demonstrating that prompt-driven image generation has a technical history preceding diffusion models.
