tl;dr: StreamMultiDiffusion is a real-time interactive multiple-text-to-image generation from user-assigned regional text prompts. In other words, you can now draw ✍️ using brushes πŸ–ŒοΈ that paints meanings 🧠 in addition to colors 🌈!

What's the paper about? Our paper is mainly about establishing the compatibility between region-based controlling techniques of MultiDiffusion and acceleration techniques of LCM and StreamDiffusion. To our surprise, these works were not compatible before, limiting the possible applications from both branches of works. The effect of acceleration and stabilization of multiple region-based text-to-image generation technique is demonstrated using StableDiffusion v1.5 in the video below ⬇️:
demo1_small.mp4

The video means that this project finally lets you work with large size image generation with fine-grained regional prompt control. Previously, this was not feasible at all. Taking an hour per trial means that you cannot sample multiple times to pick the best generation you want or to tune the generation process to realize your intention. However, we have decreased the latency from an hour to a minute, making the technology workable for creators (hopefully).



⭐️ Features

usage1 usage2 usage3
  1. Interactive image generation from scratch with fine-grained region control. In other words, you paint images using meainings.

  2. Prompt separation. Be bothered no more by unintentional content mixing when generating two or more objects at the same time!

  3. Real-time image inpainting and editing. Basically, you draw upon any uploaded photo or a piece of art you want.

Upoad a background image Type some text prompts
usage3 usage4
Draw Press the play button and enjoy 🀩
  1. (top-left) Upload a background image. You can start with a white background image, as well as any other images from your phone camera or other AI-generated artworks. You can also entirely cover the image editor with specific semantic brush to draw background image simultaneously from the text prompt.

  2. (top-right) Type some text prompts. Click each semantic brush on the semantic palette on the left of the screen and type in text prompts in the interface below. This will create a new semantic brush for you.

  3. (bottom-left) Draw. Select appropriate layer (important) that matches the order of the semantic palette. That is, Layer n corresponds to Prompt n. I am not perfectly satisfied with the interface of the drawing interface. Importing professional Javascript-based online drawing tools instead of the default gr.ImageEditor will enable more responsive interface. We have released our code with MIT License, so please feel free to fork this repo and build a better user interface upon it. 😁

  4. (bottom-right) Press the play button and enjoy! The buttons literally mean 'toggle stream/run single/run batch (4)'.

Tips

I have provided more tips in using the app in another twitter thread.


Basic Usage (Python)

The main python modules in our project is two-fold: (1) model.StableMultiDiffusionPipeline for single-call generation (might be more preferable for CLI users), and (2) model.StreamMultiDiffusion for streaming application such as the one in the main figure of this README page. We provide minimal examples for the possible applications below.

Streaming Generation Process

With multi-prompt stream batch, our modification to the original stream batch architecture by @cumulo_autumn, we can stream this multi-prompt text-to-image generation process to generate images for ever.

Region-Based Multi-Text-to-Image Generation with Custom SDXL

We support arbitrary-sized image generation from arbitrary number of prompt-mask pairs using custom SDXL models. This is powered by SDXL-Lightning LoRA and our stabilization trick for MultiDiffusion in conjunction with Lightning-type sampling algorithm.

Known Issue:

SDXL-Lightning support is currently experimental, so there can be additional issues I have not yet noticed. Please open an issue or a pull request if you find any. These are the currently known SDXL-Lightning-specific issues compared to SD1.5 models.

  • The model tends to be less obedient to the text prompts. SDXL-Lightning-specific prompt engineering may be required. The problem is less severe in custom models, such as this.
  • The vanilla SDXL-Lightning model produces NaNs when used as a FP16 variant. Please use dtype=torch.float32 option for initializing StableMultiDiffusionSDXLPipeline if you want the vanilla version of the SDXL-Lightning. This is not a problem when using a custom checkpoint. You can use dtype=torch.float16.

Our pipeline also enables editing and inpainting existing images. We also support any SD 1.5 checkpoint models. One exceptional advantage of ours is that we provide an easy separation of prompt You can additionally trade-off between prompt separation and overall harmonization by changing the argument bootstrap_steps from 0 (full mixing) to 5 (full separation). We recommend 1-3. The following code is a minimal example of performing prompt separated multi-prompt image inpainting using our pipeline on a custom model.

Result:

mask mask result
Images to Inpaint Semantic Brush Input Inpainted Image (9 sec)

Code:

import torch
from model import StableMultiDiffusionPipeline
from util import seed_everything

# The following packages are imported only for loading the images.
import torchvision.transforms as T
import requests
from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image


seed = 2
device = 0

# Load the module.
seed_everything(seed)
device = torch.device(f'cuda:{device}')
smd = StableMultiDiffusionPipeline(
    device,
    hf_key='ironjr/BlazingDriveV11m',
)

# Load the background image you want to start drawing.
#   Although it works for any image, we recommend to use background that is generated
#   or at least modified by the same checkpoint model (e.g., preparing it by passing
#   it to the same checkpoint for an image-to-image pipeline with denoising_strength 0.2)
#   for the maximally harmonized results!
#   However, in this example, we choose to use a real-world image for the demo.
url = f'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ironjr/StreamMultiDiffusion/main/assets/timessquare/timessquare.jpeg'
response = requests.get(url)
background_image = Image.open(BytesIO(response.content)).convert('RGB')

# Load prompts and background prompts (explicitly).
background_prompt = '1girl, 1boy, times square'
prompts = [
    # Foreground prompts.
    '1boy, looking at viewer, brown hair, casual shirt',
    '1girl, looking at viewer, pink hair, leather jacket',
]
negative_prompts = [
    '1girl',
    '1boy',
]
negative_prompt_prefix = 'worst quality, bad quality, normal quality, cropped, framed'
negative_prompts = [negative_prompt_prefix + ', ' + p for p in negative_prompts]
background_negative_prompt = negative_prompt_prefix

# Load masks.
masks = []
for i in range(1, 3):
    url = f'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ironjr/StreamMultiDiffusion/main/assets/timessquare/timessquare_{i}.png'
    response = requests.get(url)
    mask = Image.open(BytesIO(response.content)).convert('RGBA')
    mask = (T.ToTensor()(mask)[-1:] > 0.5).float()
    masks.append(mask)
masks = torch.stack(masks, dim=0).float()
height, width = masks.shape[-2:] # (768, 768) in this example.

# Sample an image.
image = smd(
    prompts,
    negative_prompts,
    masks=masks,
    mask_strengths=1,
    # Use larger standard deviation to harmonize the inpainting result (Recommended: 8-32)!
    mask_stds=16.0,
    height=height,
    width=width,
    bootstrap_steps=2,
    bootstrap_leak_sensitivity=0.1,
    # This is for providing the image input.
    background=background_image,
    background_prompt=background_prompt,
    background_negative_prompt=background_negative_prompt,
)
image.save('my_beautiful_inpainting.png')

Panorama Generation

Our model.StableMultiDiffusionPipeline supports x10 faster generation of irregularly large size images such as panoramas. For example, the following code runs in 10s with a single 2080 Ti GPU.

Result:

512x3072 image generated in 10 seconds.

Code:

import torch
from model import StableMultiDiffusionPipeline

device = 0

# Load the module.
device = torch.device(f'cuda:{device}')
smd = StableMultiDiffusionPipeline(device)

# Sample a panorama image.
smd.sample_panorama('A photo of Alps', height=512, width=3072)
image.save('my_panorama_creation.png')

Basic StableDiffusion

We also support standard single-prompt single-tile sampling of StableDiffusion checkpoint for completeness. This behaves exactly the same as calling diffuser's StableDiffusionPipeline.

Result:

Code:

import torch
from model import StableMultiDiffusionPipeline

device = 0

# Load the module.
device = torch.device(f'cuda:{device}')
smd = StableMultiDiffusionPipeline(device)

# Sample an image.
image = smd.sample('A photo of the dolomites')
image.save('my_creation.png')

πŸ’Ό Further Information

We have provided detailed explanation of the application design and the expected usages in appendices of our paper. This section is a summary of its contents. Although we expect everything to work fine, there may be unexpected bugs or missed features in the implementation. We are always welcoming issues and pull requests from you to improve this project! πŸ€—

User Interface (GUI)

No. Component Name Description
1 Semantic palette Creates and manages text prompt-mask pairs, a.k.a., semantic brushes.
2 Create new semantic brush btn. Creates a new text prompt-mask pair.
3 Main drawing pad User draws at each semantic layers with a brush tool.
4 Layer selection Each layer corresponds to each of the prompt mask in the semantic palette.
5 Background image upload User uploads background image to start drawing.
6 Drawing tools Using brushes and erasers to interactively edit the prompt masks.
7 Play button Switches between streaming/step-by-step mode.
8 Display Generated images are streamed through this component.
9 Mask alpha control Changes the mask alpha value before quantization. Controls local content blending (simply means that you can use nonbinary masks for fine-grained controls), but extremely sensitive. Recommended: >0.95
10 Mask blur std. dev. control Changes the standard deviation of the quantized mask of the current semantic brush. Less sensitive than mask alpha control.
11 Seed control Changes the seed of the application. May not be needed, since we generate infinite stream of images.
12 Prompt edit User can interactively change the positive/negative prompts at need.
13 Prompt strength control Prompt embedding mix ratio between the current & the background. Helps global content blending. Recommended: >0.75
14 Brush name edit Adds convenience by changing the name of the brush. Does not affect the generation. Just for preference.

Demo Application Architecture

There are two types of transaction data between the front-end and the back-end (model.streammultidiffusion_pipeline.StreamMultiDiffusion) of the application: a (1) background image object and a (2) list of text prompt-mask pairs. We choose to call a pair of the latter as a semantic brush. Despite its fancy name, a semantic brush is just a pair of a text prompt and a regional mask assigned to the prompt, possibly with additional mask-controlling parameters. Users interact with the application by registering and updating these two types of data to control the image generation stream. The interface is summarized in the image below ⬇️:


πŸ™‹ FAQ

What is Semantic Palette Anyway?

Semantic palette basically means that you paint things with semantics, i.e., text prompts, just like how you may use brush tools in commercial image editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop, etc. Our acceleration technique for region-based controlled image generation allows users to edit their prompt masks similarly to drawing. We couldn't find a good preexisting name for this type of user interface, so we named it as semantic palette, hoping for it to make sense to you. πŸ˜„

Can it run realistic models / anime-style models?

Of course. Both types of models are supported. For realistic models and SDXL-type models, using --bootstrap_steps=2 or 3 produces better (non-cropped) images.
