# Controlnet-Canny-Sdxl-1.0

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

Hello, I am very happy to announce the controlnet-canny-sdxl-1.0 model, a very powerful controlnet that can generate high resolution images visually comparable with midjourney. 
The model was trained with large amount of high quality data(over 10000000 images), with carefully filtered and captioned(powerful vllm model). Besides, useful tricks are applied 
during the training, including date augmentation, mutiple loss and multi resolution. With only 1 stage training, the performance outperforms the other opensource canny models
([diffusers/controlnet-canny-sdxl-1.0], [TheMistoAI/MistoLine]). I release it and hope to advance the application of stable diffusion models. Canny is one of the most important 
ControlNet series models and can be applied to many jobs associated with drawing and designing.

## How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

```python
from diffusers import ControlNetModel, StableDiffusionXLControlNetPipeline, AutoencoderKL
from diffusers import DDIMScheduler, EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler
from PIL import Image
import torch
import numpy as np
import cv2

def HWC3(x):
    assert x.dtype == np.uint8
    if x.ndim == 2:
        x = x[:, :, None]
    assert x.ndim == 3
    H, W, C = x.shape
    assert C == 1 or C == 3 or C == 4
    if C == 3:
        return x
    if C == 1:
        return np.concatenate([x, x, x], axis=2)
    if C == 4:
        color = x[:, :, 0:3].astype(np.float32)
        alpha = x[:, :, 3:4].astype(np.float32) / 255.0
        y = color * alpha + 255.0 * (1.0 - alpha)
        y = y.clip(0, 255).astype(np.uint8)
        return y

controlnet_conditioning_scale = 1.0  
prompt = "your prompt, the longer the better, you can describe it as detail as possible"
negative_prompt = 'longbody, lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality'



eulera_scheduler = EulerAncestralDiscreteScheduler.from_pretrained("stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0", subfolder="scheduler")


controlnet = ControlNetModel.from_pretrained(
    "xinsir/controlnet-canny-sdxl-1.0",
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
)

# when test with other base model, you need to change the vae also.
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,
    safety_checker=None,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    scheduler=eulera_scheduler,
)

# need to resize the image resolution to 1024 * 1024 or same bucket resolution to get the best performance

controlnet_img = cv2.imread("your image path")
height, width, _  = controlnet_img.shape
ratio = np.sqrt(1024. * 1024. / (width * height))
new_width, new_height = int(width * ratio), int(height * ratio)
controlnet_img = cv2.resize(controlnet_img, (new_width, new_height))

controlnet_img = cv2.Canny(controlnet_img, 100, 200)
controlnet_img = HWC3(controlnet_img)
controlnet_img = Image.fromarray(controlnet_img)

images = pipe(
    prompt,
    negative_prompt=negative_prompt,
    image=controlnet_img,
    controlnet_conditioning_scale=controlnet_conditioning_scale,
    width=new_width,
    height=new_height,
    num_inference_steps=30,
    ).images

images[0].save(f"your image save path, png format is usually better than jpg or webp in terms of image quality but got much bigger")
```



## Training Details

The model is trained using high quality data, only 1 stage training, the resolution setting is the same with sdxl-base, 1024*1024. We use random threshold to generate canny images like lvming zhang, It is essential to find proper hyerparameters 
to realize data augmentation, too easy or too hard will hurt the model performance. Besides, we use random mask to random mask out a random percentage of canny images to force the model to learn more semantic meaning between the prompt and the line.
We use over 10000000 images, which are annotated carefully, cogvlm is proved to be a powerful image caption model[https://github.com/THUDM/CogVLM?tab=readme-ov-file]. For comic images, it is recommened to use waifu tagger to generate special tags
[https://huggingface.co/spaces/SmilingWolf/wd-tagger]. More than 64 A100s are used to train the model and the real batch size is 2560 when used accumulate_grad_batches.


### Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

The data consists of many sources, including midjourney, laion 5B, danbooru, and so on. The data is carefully filtered and annotated. 


### Evaluation

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

In our evaluation, the model got better aesthetic score in real images compared with stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0,  and comparable performance in cartoon sytle images.
The model is better in control ability when test with perception similarity due to more strong data augmentation and more training steps. 
Besides, the model has lower rate to generate abnormal images which tend to include some abnormal human structure.
