Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position Analysis: The score of 0.45 indicates that the model’s ability to react to camera positions in the prompt is slightly below average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
- Shot Analysis: The score of 0.51 indicates that the model’s ability to understand the scene in a prompt is slightly above average. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The score of 0.31 indicates that the model’s ability to match the expected aesthetic of the image is below average. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 would be considered very good.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and camera positions than it is at creating images with the desired aesthetic.
