# SounDiT: Geo-Contextual Soundscape-to-Landscape Generation

SounDiT is a diffusion transformer (DiT)-based model designed for the **Geo-contextual Soundscape-to-Landscape (GeoS2L)** generation task. It synthesizes geographically realistic landscape images from environmental soundscapes by incorporating geo-contextual scene conditioning.

## Overview
Recent audio-to-image models often struggle to reconstruct real-world landscapes from environmental soundscapes. SounDiT addresses this gap using a DiT architecture that leverages diverse environmental soundscapes and scene conditioning to ensure geographical coherence. To evaluate this task, the authors introduced the Place Similarity Score (PSS) framework, which captures multi-level generation consistency across element, scene, and human perception.

## Code Usage

### Environment Setup

```bash
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate SounDiT
```

### Inference

```bash
bash ./scripts/inference.sh
```
