Controlnet - v1.1 - Canny Version

Controlnet v1.1 is the successor model of Controlnet v1.0 and was released in lllyasviel/ControlNet-v1-1 by Lvmin Zhang .

This checkpoint is a conversion of the original checkpoint into diffusers format. It can be used in combination with Stable Diffusion , such as runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5 .

For more details, please also have a look at the ? Diffusers docs .

ControlNet is a neural network structure to control diffusion models by adding extra conditions.

This checkpoint corresponds to the ControlNet conditioned on Canny edges .

Introduction

Controlnet was proposed in Adding Conditional Control to Text-to-Image Diffusion Models by Lvmin Zhang, Maneesh Agrawala.

The abstract reads as follows:

We present a neural network structure, ControlNet, to control pretrained large diffusion models to support additional input conditions. The ControlNet learns task-specific conditions in an end-to-end way, and the learning is robust even when the training dataset is small (< 50k). Moreover, training a ControlNet is as fast as fine-tuning a diffusion model, and the model can be trained on a personal devices. Alternatively, if powerful computation clusters are available, the model can scale to large amounts (millions to billions) of data. We report that large diffusion models like Stable Diffusion can be augmented with ControlNets to enable conditional inputs like edge maps, segmentation maps, keypoints, etc. This may enrich the methods to control large diffusion models and further facilitate related applications.

Example

It is recommended to use the checkpoint with Stable Diffusion v1-5 as the checkpoint has been trained on it. Experimentally, the checkpoint can be used with other diffusion models such as dreamboothed stable diffusion.

Note : If you want to process an image to create the auxiliary conditioning, external dependencies are required as shown below:

$ pip install opencv-contrib-python

$ pip install diffusers transformers accelerate

import torch
import os
from huggingface_hub import HfApi
from pathlib import Path
from diffusers.utils import load_image
import numpy as np
import cv2
from PIL import Image

from diffusers import (
    ControlNetModel,
    StableDiffusionControlNetPipeline,
    UniPCMultistepScheduler,
)

checkpoint = "lllyasviel/control_v11p_sd15_canny"

image = load_image(
    "https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/control_v11p_sd15_canny/resolve/main/images/input.png"
)

image = np.array(image)

low_threshold = 100
high_threshold = 200

image = cv2.Canny(image, low_threshold, high_threshold)
image = image[:, :, None]
image = np.concatenate([image, image, image], axis=2)
control_image = Image.fromarray(image)

control_image.save("./images/control.png")

controlnet = ControlNetModel.from_pretrained(checkpoint, torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe = StableDiffusionControlNetPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5", controlnet=controlnet, torch_dtype=torch.float16
)

pipe.scheduler = UniPCMultistepScheduler.from_config(pipe.scheduler.config)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

generator = torch.manual_seed(33)
image = pipe("a blue paradise bird in the jungle", num_inference_steps=20, generator=generator, image=control_image).images[0]

image.save('images/image_out.png')

Other released checkpoints v1-1

The authors released 14 different checkpoints, each trained with Stable Diffusion v1-5 on a different type of conditioning:

Improvements in Canny 1.1:

• The training dataset of previous cnet 1.0 has several problems including (1) a small group of greyscale human images are duplicated thousands of times (!!), causing the previous model somewhat likely to generate grayscale human images; (2) some images has low quality, very blurry, or significant JPEG artifacts; (3) a small group of images has wrong paired prompts caused by a mistake in our data processing scripts. The new model fixed all problems of the training dataset and should be more reasonable in many cases.
• Because the Canny model is one of the most important (perhaps the most frequently used) ControlNet, we used a fund to train it on a machine with 8 Nvidia A100 80G with batchsize 8×32=256 for 3 days, spending 72×30=2160 USD (8 A100 80G with 30 USD/hour). The model is resumed from Canny 1.0.
• Some reasonable data augmentations are applied to training, like random left-right flipping.
• Although it is difficult to evaluate a ControlNet, we find Canny 1.1 is a bit more robust and a bit higher visual quality than Canny 1.0.
