Overview

We propose Collaborative Diffusion, where users can use multiple modalities to control face generation and editing. (a) Face Generation. Given multi-modal controls, our framework synthesizes high-quality images consistent with the input conditions. (b) Face Editing. Collaborative Diffusion also supports multi-modal editing of real images with promising identity preservation capability.

We use pre-trained uni-modal diffusion models to perform multi-modal guided face generation and editing. At each step of the reverse process (i.e., from timestep t to t − 1), the dynamic diffuser predicts the spatial-varying and temporal-varying influence function to selectively enhance or suppress the contributions of the given modality.

Installation

1. Clone repo

   git clone https://github.com/ziqihuangg/Collaborative-Diffusion
   cd Collaborative-Diffusion

2. Create conda environment.
   If you already have an ldm environment installed according to LDM, you do not need to go throught this step (i.e., step 2). You can simply conda activate ldm and jump to step 3.

    conda env create -f environment.yaml
   conda activate codiff

3. Install dependencies

    pip install transformers==4.19.2 scann kornia==0.6.4 torchmetrics==0.6.0
   conda install -c anaconda git
   pip install git+https://github.com/arogozhnikov/einops.git

Download Datasets

We provide preprocessed data used in this project (see Acknowledgement for data source). You need download them only if you want to reproduce the training of Collaborative Diffusion. You can skip this step if you simply want to use our pre-trained models for inference.

1. Download the preprocessed training data from here.

2. Put the datasets under dataset as follows:

Generation

You can control face generation using text and segmentation mask.

1. mask_path is the path to the segmentation mask, and input_text is the text condition.

   python generate_512.py \
   --mask_path test_data/512_masks/27007.png \
   --input_text "This man has beard of medium length. He is in his thirties."

   python generate_512.py \
   --mask_path test_data/512_masks/29980.png \
   --input_text "This woman is in her forties."

2. You can view different types of intermediate outputs by setting the flags as 1. For example, to view the influence functions, you can set return_influence_function to 1.

   python generate_512.py \
   --mask_path test_data/512_masks/27007.png \
   --input_text "This man has beard of medium length. He is in his thirties." \
   --ddim_steps 10 \
   --batch_size 1 \
   --save_z 1 \
   --return_influence_function 1 \
   --display_x_inter 1 \
   --save_mixed 1

   Note that producing intermediate results might consume a lot of GPU memory, so we suggest setting batch_size to 1, and setting ddim_steps to a smaller value (e.g., 10) to save memory and computation time.

Training

We provide the entire training pipeline, including training the VAE, uni-modal diffusion models, and our proposed dynamic diffusers.

If you are only interested in training dynamic diffusers, you can use our provided checkpoints for VAE and uni-modal diffusion models. Simply skip step 1 and 2 and directly look at step 3.

1. Train VAE.

   LDM compresses images to the VAE latents to save computational cost, and later train UNet diffusion models on the VAE latents. This step is to reproduce the pretrained/512_vae.ckpt.

   python main.py \
   --logdir 'outputs/512_vae' \
   --base 'configs/512_vae.yaml' \
   -t --gpus 0,1,2,3,

2. Train the uni-modal diffusion models.

   (1) train text-to-image model. This step is to reproduce the pretrained/512_text.ckpt.

   python main.py \
   --logdir 'outputs/512_text' \
   --base 'configs/512_text.yaml' \
   -t --gpus 0,1,2,3,

   (2) train mask-to-image model. This step is to reproduce the pretrained/512_mask.ckpt.

   python main.py \
   --logdir 'outputs/512_mask' \
   --base 'configs/512_mask.yaml' \
   -t --gpus 0,1,2,3,

3. Train the dynamic diffusers.

   The dynamic diffusers are the meta-networks that determine how the uni-modal diffusion models collaborate together. This step is to reproduce the pretrained/512_codiff_mask_text.ckpt.

   python main.py \
   --logdir 'outputs/512_codiff_mask_text' \
   --base 'configs/512_codiff_mask_text.yaml' \
   -t --gpus 0,1,2,3,
