ControlNet with Stable Diffusion 3

StableDiffusion3ControlNetPipeline is an implementation of ControlNet for Stable Diffusion 3.

ControlNet was introduced in Adding Conditional Control to Text-to-Image Diffusion Models by Lvmin Zhang, Anyi Rao, 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 ControlNet, a neural network architecture to add spatial conditioning controls to large, pretrained text-to-image diffusion models. ControlNet locks the production-ready large diffusion models, and reuses their deep and robust encoding layers pretrained with billions of images as a strong backbone to learn a diverse set of conditional controls. The neural architecture is connected with “zero convolutions” (zero-initialized convolution layers) that progressively grow the parameters from zero and ensure that no harmful noise could affect the finetuning. We test various conditioning controls, eg, edges, depth, segmentation, human pose, etc, with Stable Diffusion, using single or multiple conditions, with or without prompts. We show that the training of ControlNets is robust with small (<50k) and large (>1m) datasets. Extensive results show that ControlNet may facilitate wider applications to control image diffusion models.

This code is implemented by The InstantX Team. You can find pre-trained checkpoints for SD3-ControlNet on The InstantX Team Hub profile.

`~pipelines.stable_diffusion_xl.StableDiffusionXLPipelineOutput` or `tuple`

Parameters

- prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide the image generation. If not defined, one has to pass `prompt_embeds`. instead.
- 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 will be used instead
- prompt_3 (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts to be sent to `tokenizer_3` and `text_encoder_3`. If not defined, `prompt` is will be used instead
- height (`int`, optional, defaults to self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) — The height in pixels of the generated image. This is set to 1024 by default for the best results.
- width (`int`, optional, defaults to self.unet.config.sample_size * self.vae_scale_factor) — The width in pixels of the generated image. This is set to 1024 by default for the best results.
- 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.
- timesteps (`List[int]`, optional) — Custom timesteps to use for the denoising process with schedulers which support a `timesteps` argument in their `set_timesteps` method. If not defined, the default behavior when `num_inference_steps` is passed will be used. Must be in descending order.

Guidance scale is enabled by setting `guidance_scale > 1`. Higher guidance scale encourages to generate images that are closely linked to the text `prompt`, usually at the expense of lower image quality.

If the type is specified as `torch.Tensor`, 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.
- 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.

- callback_on_step_end (`Callable`, optional) — A function that calls at the end of each denoising steps during the inference. The function is called with the following arguments: `callback_on_step_end(self: DiffusionPipeline, step: int, timestep: int, callback_kwargs: Dict)`. `callback_kwargs` will include a list of all tensors as specified by `callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs`.
- callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs (`List`, optional) — The list of tensor inputs for the `callback_on_step_end` function. The tensors specified in the list will be passed as `callback_kwargs` argument. You will only be able to include variables listed in the `._callback_tensor_inputs` attribute of your pipeline class.

Returns
