MultiDiffusion

MultiDiffusion: Fusing Diffusion Paths for Controlled Image Generation is by Omer Bar-Tal, Lior Yariv, Yaron Lipman, and Tali Dekel.

The abstract from the paper is:

Recent advances in text-to-image generation with diffusion models present transformative capabilities in image quality. However, user controllability of the generated image, and fast adaptation to new tasks still remains an open challenge, currently mostly addressed by costly and long re-training and fine-tuning or ad-hoc adaptations to specific image generation tasks. In this work, we present MultiDiffusion, a unified framework that enables versatile and controllable image generation, using a pre-trained text-to-image diffusion model, without any further training or finetuning. At the center of our approach is a new generation process, based on an optimization task that binds together multiple diffusion generation processes with a shared set of parameters or constraints. We show that MultiDiffusion can be readily applied to generate high quality and diverse images that adhere to user-provided controls, such as desired aspect ratio (e.g., panorama), and spatial guiding signals, ranging from tight segmentation masks to bounding boxes.

You can find additional information about MultiDiffusion on the project page, original codebase, and try it out in a demo.

Tips

While calling StableDiffusionPanoramaPipeline, it’s possible to specify the `view_batch_size` parameter to be > 1. For some GPUs with high performance, this can speedup the generation process and increase VRAM usage.

To generate panorama-like images make sure you pass the width parameter accordingly. We recommend a width value of 2048 which is the default.

Circular padding is applied to ensure there are no stitching artifacts when working with panoramas to ensure a seamless transition from the rightmost part to the leftmost part. By enabling circular padding (set `circular_padding=True`), the operation applies additional crops after the rightmost point of the image, allowing the model to “see” the transition from the rightmost part to the leftmost part. This helps maintain visual consistency in a 360-degree sense and creates a proper “panorama” that can be viewed using 360-degree panorama viewers. When decoding latents in Stable Diffusion, circular padding is applied to ensure that the decoded latents match in the RGB space.

For example, without circular padding, there is a stitching artifact (default):

But with circular padding, the right and the left parts are matching (`circular_padding=True`):

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 MultiDiffusion.

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:

- load_textual_inversion() for loading textual inversion embeddings
- load_lora_weights() for loading LoRA weights
- save_lora_weights() for saving LoRA weights
- load_ip_adapter() for loading IP Adapters

StableDiffusionPipelineOutput or `tuple`

Parameters

- prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide image generation. If not defined, you need to pass `prompt_embeds`.
- height (`int`, optional, defaults to 512) — The height in pixels of the generated image.
- width (`int`, optional, defaults to 2048) — The width in pixels of the generated image. The width is kept high because the pipeline is supposed generate panorama-like images.
- 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 7.5) — 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`.
- view_batch_size (`int`, optional, defaults to 1) — The batch size to denoise split views. For some GPUs with high performance, higher view batch size can speedup the generation and increase the VRAM usage.
- 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`).
- 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. ip_adapter_image — (`PipelineImageInput`, optional): Optional image input to work with IP Adapters.
- ip_adapter_image_embeds (`List[torch.FloatTensor]`, optional) — Pre-generated image embeddings for IP-Adapter. It should be a list of length same as number of IP-adapters. Each element should be a tensor of shape `(batch_size, num_images, emb_dim)`. It should contain the negative image embedding if `do_classifier_free_guidance` is set to `True`. If not provided, embeddings are computed from the `ip_adapter_image` 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 under `self.processor` in diffusers.models.attention_processor.
- circular_padding (`bool`, optional, defaults to `False`) — If set to `True`, circular padding is applied to ensure there are no stitching artifacts. Circular padding allows the model to seamlessly generate a transition from the rightmost part of the image to the leftmost part, maintaining consistency in a 360-degree sense.
- clip_skip (`int`, optional) — Number of layers to be skipped from CLIP while computing the prompt embeddings. A value of 1 means that the output of the pre-final layer will be used for computing the prompt embeddings.

Returns

If `return_dict` is `True`, StableDiffusionPipelineOutput is returned, otherwise a `tuple` is returned where the first element is a list with the generated images and the second element is a list of `bool`s indicating whether the corresponding generated image contains “not-safe-for-work” (nsfw) content.
