ControlNet-XS with Stable Diffusion XL

ControlNet-XS was introduced in ControlNet-XS by Denis Zavadski and Carsten Rother. It is based on the observation that the control model in the original ControlNet can be made much smaller and still produce good results.

Like the original ControlNet model, you can provide an additional control image to condition and control Stable Diffusion generation. For example, if you provide a depth map, the ControlNet model generates an image that’ll preserve the spatial information from the depth map. It is a more flexible and accurate way to control the image generation process.

ControlNet-XS generates images with comparable quality to a regular ControlNet, but it is 20-25% faster (see benchmark) and uses ~45% less memory.

Here’s the overview from the project page:

With increasing computing capabilities, current model architectures appear to follow the trend of simply upscaling all components without validating the necessity for doing so. In this project we investigate the size and architectural design of ControlNet [Zhang et al., 2023] for controlling the image generation process with stable diffusion-based models. We show that a new architecture with as little as 1% of the parameters of the base model achieves state-of-the art results, considerably better than ControlNet in terms of FID score. Hence we call it ControlNet-XS. We provide the code for controlling StableDiffusion-XL [Podell et al., 2023] (Model B, 48M Parameters) and StableDiffusion 2.1 [Rombach et al. 2022] (Model B, 14M Parameters), all under openrail license.

This model was contributed by UmerHA. ❤️

🧪 Many of the SDXL ControlNet checkpoints are experimental, and there is a lot of room for improvement. Feel free to open an Issue and leave us feedback on how we can improve!

Make sure to check out the Schedulers guide to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the reuse components across pipelines section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.

Parameters

  • prompt (str or List[str], optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide image generation. If not defined, you need to pass prompt_embeds.
  • prompt_2 (str or List[str], optional) — The prompt or prompts to be sent to tokenizer_2 and text_encoder_2. If not defined, prompt is used in both text-encoders.
  • image (torch.Tensor, PIL.Image.Image, np.ndarray, List[torch.Tensor], List[PIL.Image.Image], List[np.ndarray], — List[List[torch.Tensor]], List[List[np.ndarray]] or List[List[PIL.Image.Image]]): The ControlNet input condition to provide guidance to the unet for generation. If the type is specified as torch.Tensor, it is passed to ControlNet as is. PIL.Image.Image can also be accepted as an image. The dimensions of the output image defaults to image’s dimensions. If height and/or width are passed, image is resized accordingly. If multiple ControlNets are specified in init, images must be passed as a list such that each element of the list can be correctly batched for input to a single ControlNet.
  • height (int, optional, defaults to self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) — The height in pixels of the generated image. Anything below 512 pixels won’t work well for stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 and checkpoints that are not specifically fine-tuned on low resolutions.
  • width (int, optional, defaults to self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) — The width in pixels of the generated image. Anything below 512 pixels won’t work well for stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 and checkpoints that are not specifically fine-tuned on low resolutions.
  • num_inference_steps (int, optional, defaults to 50) — The number of denoising steps. More denoising steps usually lead to a higher quality image at the expense of slower inference.
  • guidance_scale (float, optional, defaults to 5.0) — A higher guidance scale value encourages the model to generate images closely linked to the text prompt at the expense of lower image quality. Guidance scale is enabled when guidance_scale > 1.
  • negative_prompt (str or List[str], optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide what to not include in image generation. If not defined, you need to pass negative_prompt_embeds instead. Ignored when not using guidance (guidance_scale < 1).
  • negative_prompt_2 (str or List[str], optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide what to not include in image generation. This is sent to tokenizer_2 and text_encoder_2. If not defined, negative_prompt is used in both text-encoders.
  • num_images_per_prompt (int, optional, defaults to 1) — The number of images to generate per prompt.
  • eta (float, optional, defaults to 0.0) — Corresponds to parameter eta (η) from the DDIM paper. Only applies to the DDIMScheduler, and is ignored in other schedulers.
  • generator (torch.Generator or List[torch.Generator], optional) — A torch.Generator to make generation deterministic.
  • latents (torch.Tensor, optional) — Pre-generated noisy latents sampled from a Gaussian distribution, to be used as inputs for image generation. Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents tensor is generated by sampling using the supplied random generator.
  • prompt_embeds (torch.Tensor, optional) — Pre-generated text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs (prompt weighting). If not provided, text embeddings are generated from the prompt input argument.
  • negative_prompt_embeds (torch.Tensor, optional) — Pre-generated negative text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs (prompt weighting). If not provided, negative_prompt_embeds are generated from the negative_prompt input argument.
  • pooled_prompt_embeds (torch.Tensor, optional) — Pre-generated pooled text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs (prompt weighting). If not provided, pooled text embeddings are generated from prompt input argument.
  • negative_pooled_prompt_embeds (torch.Tensor, optional) — Pre-generated negative pooled text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs (prompt weighting). If not provided, pooled negative_prompt_embeds are generated from negative_prompt input argument.
  • output_type (str, optional, defaults to "pil") — The output format of the generated image. Choose between PIL.Image or np.array.
  • return_dict (bool, optional, defaults to True) — Whether or not to return a StableDiffusionPipelineOutput instead of a plain tuple.
  • cross_attention_kwargs (dict, optional) — A kwargs dictionary that if specified is passed along to the AttentionProcessor as defined in self.processor.
  • controlnet_conditioning_scale (float or List[float], optional, defaults to 1.0) — The outputs of the ControlNet are multiplied by controlnet_conditioning_scale before they are added to the residual in the original unet.
  • control_guidance_start (float, optional, defaults to 0.0) — The percentage of total steps at which the ControlNet starts applying.
  • control_guidance_end (float, optional, defaults to 1.0) — The percentage of total steps at which the ControlNet stops applying.
  • original_size (Tuple[int], optional, defaults to (1024, 1024)) — If original_size is not the same as target_size the image will appear to be down- or upsampled. original_size defaults to (width, height) if not specified. Part of SDXL’s micro-conditioning as explained in section 2.2 of https://huggingface.co./papers/2307.01952.
  • crops_coords_top_left (Tuple[int], optional, defaults to (0, 0)) — crops_coords_top_left can be used to generate an image that appears to be “cropped” from the position crops_coords_top_left downwards.
