Small SDXL-controlnet: Canny

These are small controlnet weights trained on stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0 with canny conditioning. This checkpoint is 7x smaller than the original XL controlnet checkpoint. You can find some example images in the following.

prompt: aerial view, a futuristic research complex in a bright foggy jungle, hard lighting images_0)

prompt: a woman, close up, detailed, beautiful, street photography, photorealistic, detailed, Kodak ektar 100, natural, candid shot images_1)

prompt: megatron in an apocalyptic world ground, runied city in the background, photorealistic images_2)

prompt: a couple watching sunset, 4k photo images_3)

Usage

Make sure to first install the libraries:

pip install accelerate transformers safetensors opencv-python diffusers

And then we're ready to go:

from diffusers import ControlNetModel, StableDiffusionXLControlNetPipeline, AutoencoderKL
from diffusers.utils import load_image
from PIL import Image
import torch
import numpy as np
import cv2

prompt = "aerial view, a futuristic research complex in a bright foggy jungle, hard lighting"
negative_prompt = "low quality, bad quality, sketches"

image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/hf-internal-testing/diffusers-images/resolve/main/sd_controlnet/hf-logo.png")

controlnet_conditioning_scale = 0.5  # recommended for good generalization

controlnet = ControlNetModel.from_pretrained(
    "diffusers/controlnet-canny-sdxl-1.0-small",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
)
vae = AutoencoderKL.from_pretrained("madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
pipe = StableDiffusionXLControlNetPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0",
    controlnet=controlnet,
    vae=vae,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

image = np.array(image)
image = cv2.Canny(image, 100, 200)
image = image[:, :, None]
image = np.concatenate([image, image, image], axis=2)
image = Image.fromarray(image)

images = pipe(
    prompt, negative_prompt=negative_prompt, image=image, controlnet_conditioning_scale=controlnet_conditioning_scale,
).images

images[0].save(f"hug_lab.png")

๐Ÿšจ Please note that this checkpoint is experimental and there's a lot of room for improvement. We encourage the community to build on top of it, improve it, and provide us with feedback. ๐Ÿšจ

Training

Our training script was built on top of the official training script that we provide here. You can refer to this script for full discolsure.

  • This checkpoint does not perform distillation. We just use a smaller ControlNet initialized from the SDXL UNet. We encourage the community to try and conduct distillation too. This resource might be of help in this regard.
  • To learn more about how the ControlNet was initialized, refer to this code block.
  • It does not have any attention blocks.
  • The model works pretty good on most conditioning images. But for more complex conditionings, the bigger checkpoints might be better. We are still working on improving the quality of this checkpoint and looking for feedback from the community.
  • We recommend playing around with the controlnet_conditioning_scale and guidance_scale arguments for potentially better image generation quality.

Training data

The model was trained on 3M images from LAION aesthetic 6 plus subset, with batch size of 256 for 50k steps with constant learning rate of 3e-5.
