ControlNet with Stable Diffusion XL

ControlNet was introduced in Adding Conditional Control to Text-to-Image Diffusion Models by Lvmin Zhang and Maneesh Agrawala.

With a 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.

The abstract from the paper is:

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.

You can find additional smaller Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) ControlNet checkpoints from the 🤗 Diffusers Hub organization, and browse community-trained checkpoints on the Hub.

🧪 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!

If you don’t see a checkpoint you’re interested in, you can train your own SDXL ControlNet with our training script.

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.

Pipeline for text-to-image generation using Stable Diffusion XL with ControlNet guidance.

This model inherits from DiffusionPipeline. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods implemented for all pipelines (downloading, saving, running on a particular device, etc.).

The pipeline also inherits the following loading methods:

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.FloatTensor, PIL.Image.Image, np.ndarray, List[torch.FloatTensor], List[PIL.Image.Image], List[np.ndarray], — List[List[torch.FloatTensor]], 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.FloatTensor, 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.FloatTensor, 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.FloatTensor, 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.FloatTensor, 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.FloatTensor, 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.FloatTensor, 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.
  • callback (Callable, optional) — A function that calls every callback_steps steps during inference. The function is called with the following arguments: callback(step: int, timestep: int, latents: torch.FloatTensor).
  • callback_steps (int, optional, defaults to 1) — The frequency at which the callback function is called. If not specified, the callback is called at every step.
  • 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. If multiple ControlNets are specified in init, you can set the corresponding scale as a list.
  • guess_mode (bool, optional, defaults to False) — The ControlNet encoder tries to recognize the content of the input image even if you remove all prompts. A guidance_scale value between 3.0 and 5.0 is recommended.
  • control_guidance_start (float or List[float], optional, defaults to 0.0) — The percentage of total steps at which the ControlNet starts applying.
  • control_guidance_end (float or List[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.

  • 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. Favorable, well-centered images are usually achieved by setting crops_coords_top_left to (0, 0). Part of SDXL’s micro-conditioning as explained in section 2.2 of https://huggingface.co/papers/2307.01952.
  • target_size (Tuple[int], optional, defaults to (1024, 1024)) — For most cases, target_size should be set to the desired height and width of the generated image. If not specified it will default to (width, height). Part of SDXL’s micro-conditioning as explained in section 2.2 of https://huggingface.co/papers/2307.01952.
  • negative_original_size (Tuple[int], optional, defaults to (1024, 1024)) — To negatively condition the generation process based on a specific image resolution.
