| (April. 2025) |
| Official implementation of Colorize Diffusion. |
|
|
| Colorize Diffusion is a SD-based colorization framework that can achieve high-quality colorization results with arbitrary input pairs. |
|
|
| Fundamental issue for this repository: [ColorizeDiffusion (e-print)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.01456). |
| ***Version 1*** - Base training, 512px. Released, ckpt starts with **mult**. |
| ***Version 1.5*** - Solving spatial entanglement, 512px. Released, ckpt starts with **switch**. |
| ***Version 2*** - Enhancing background and style transfer, 768px. Released, ckpt starts with **v2**. |
| ***Version XL*** - Enhancing embedding guidance for character colorization, geometry disentanglement, 1024px. Available soon. |
|
|
|
|
| ## Getting Start |
|
|
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ```shell |
| conda env create -f environment.yaml |
| conda activate hf |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## User Interface |
|
|
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| We implement a fully-featured UI. To run it, just: |
| ```shell |
| python -u app.py |
| ``` |
| The default server address is http://localhost:7860. |
|
|
| #### Important inference options |
| | Options | Description | |
| |:----------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |
| | BG enhance | Low-level feature injection for v2 models. | |
| | FG enhance | Useless for currently open-sourced models. | |
| | Reference strength | Decreasing it to increase semantic fidelity to sketch inputs. | |
| | Foreground strength | Similar to reference strength but only for foreground region. Need to activate FG or BG enhance. | |
| | Preprocessor | Sketch preprocessing. **Extract** is suggested if the sketch input is complicated pencil drawing. | |
| | Line extractor | Line extractors used when preprocessor is **Extract**. | |
| | Sketch guidance scale | Classifier-free guidance scale of the sketch image, suggested 1. | |
| | Attention injection | Noised low-level feature injection, 2x inference time. | |
|
|
|
|
| ### 768-level Cross-content colorization results (from v2) |
|  |
|  |
| ### 1536-level Character colorization results (from XL) |
|  |
|  |
|
|
| ## Manipulation |
|
|
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| The colorization results can be manipulated using text prompts, see [ColorizeDiffusion (e-print)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.01456). |
|
|
| It is now deactivated by default. To activate it, use |
| ```shell |
| python -u app.py -manipulate |
| ``` |
|
|
| For local manipulations, a visualization is provided to show the correlation between each prompt and tokens in the reference image. |
|
|
|
|
| The manipulation result and correlation visualization of the settings: |
| |
| Target prompt: the girl's blonde hair |
| Anchor prompt the girl's brown hair |
| Control prompt the girl's brown hair, |
| Target scale: 8 |
| Enhanced: false |
| Thresholds: 0.5γ0.55γ0.65γ0.95 |
| |
|  |
|  |
| As you can see, the manipluation unavoidably changed some unrelated regions as it is taken on the reference embeddings. |
|
|
| #### Manipulation options |
| | Options | Description | |
| | :----- |:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |
| | Group index | The index of selected manipulation sequences's parameter group. | |
| | Target prompt | The prompt used to specify the desired visual attribute for the image after manipulation. | |
| | Anchor prompt | The prompt to specify the anchored visaul attribute for the image before manipulation. | |
| | Control prompt | Used for local manipulation (crossattn-based models). The prompt to specify the target regions. | |
| | Enhance | Specify whether this manipulation should be enhanced or not. (More likely to influence unrelated attribute). | |
| | Target scale | The scale used to progressively control the manipulation. | |
| | Thresholds | Used for local manipulation (crossattn-based models). Four hyperparameters used to reduce the influnece on irrelevant visual attributes, where 0.0 < threshold 0 < threshold 1 < threshold 2 < threshold 3 < 1.0. | |
| | \<Threshold0 | Select regions most related to control prompt. Indicated by deep blue. | |
| | Threshold0-Threshold1 | Select regions related to control prompt. Indicated by blue. | |
| | Threshold1-Threshold2 | Select neighbouring but unrelated regions. Indicated by green. | |
| | Threshold2-Threshold3 | Select unrelated regions. Indicated by orange. | |
| | \>Threshold3 | Select most unrelated regions. Indicated by brown. | |
| |Add| Click add to save current manipulation in the sequence. | |
|

|
| ## Training |
| Our implementation is based on Accelerate and Deepspeed. |
| Before starting a training, first collect data and organize your training dataset as follows: |
|
|
| ``` |
| [dataset_path] |
| βββ image_list.json # Optionally for image indexing |
| βββ color/ # Color images |
| β βββ 0001.zip |
| | | βββ 10001.png |
| | | βββ 100001.jpg |
| β | βββ ... |
| β βββ 0002.zip |
| β βββ ... |
| βββ sketch # Sketch images |
| β βββ 0001.zip |
| | | βββ 10001.png |
| | | βββ 100001.jpg |
| β | βββ ... |
| β βββ 0002.zip |
| β βββ ... |
| βββ mask # Mask images (required for fg-bg training) |
| βββ 0001.zip |
| | βββ 10001.png |
| | βββ 100001.jpg |
| | βββ ... |
| βββ 0002.zip |
| βββ ... |
| ``` |
| For details of dataset organization, check `data/dataloader.py`. |
| Training command example: |
| ``` |
| accelerate launch --config_file [accelerate_config_file] \ |
| train.py \ |
| --name base \ |
| --dataroot [dataset_path] \ |
| --batch_size 64 \ |
| --num_threads 8 \ |
| -cfg configs/train/sd2.1/mult.yaml \ |
| -pt [pretrained_model_path] |
| ``` |
| Refer to `options.py` for training/inference/validation arguments. |
| Note that the `batch size` here is micro batch size per gpu. If you run the command on 8 gpus, the total batch size is 512. |
