# Control Net (2023) > [Adding Conditional Control to Text-to-Image Diffusion Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.05543) > **Task**: Text2Image ## Abstract We present a neural network structure, ControlNet, to control pretrained large diffusion models to support additional input conditions. The ControlNet learns task-specific conditions in an end-to-end way, and the learning is robust even when the training dataset is small (\< 50k). Moreover, training a ControlNet is as fast as fine-tuning a diffusion model, and the model can be trained on a personal devices. Alternatively, if powerful computation clusters are available, the model can scale to large amounts (millions to billions) of data. We report that large diffusion models like Stable Diffusion can be augmented with ControlNets to enable conditional inputs like edge maps, segmentation maps, keypoints, etc. This may enrich the methods to control large diffusion models and further facilitate related applications.
## Pretrained models We use ControlNet's weights provided by HuggingFace Diffusers. You do not have to download the weights manually. If you use Diffusers wrapper, the weights will be downloaded automatically. This model has several weights including vae, unet and clip. You should download the weights from [stable-diffusion-1.5](https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5) and change the 'pretrained_model_path' in config to the weights dir. | Model | Dataset | Download | | :---------------------------------------------: | :-----: | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | | [ControlNet-Demo](./controlnet-1xb1-fill50k.py) | - | - | | [ControlNet-Canny](./controlnet-canny.py) | - | [model](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/models/control_sd15_canny.pth) | | [ControlNet-Pose](./controlnet-pose.py) | - | [model](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/models/control_sd15_openpose.pth) | | [ControlNet-Segmentation](./controlnet-seg.py) | - | [model](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/models/control_sd15_seg.pth) | Noted that, [ControlNet-Demo](./controlnet-1xb1-demo_dataset.py) is a demo config to train ControlNet with toy dataset named Fill50K. Besides above configs, ControlNet have weight with other condition inputs, such as [depth](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/models/control_sd15_depth.pth), [hed](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/models/control_sd15_hed.pth), [mlsd](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/models/control_sd15_mlsd.pth), [normal](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/models/control_sd15_normal.pth), [scribble](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/models/control_sd15_scribble.pth). You can simple change the `from_pretrained` field of ControlNet to use these weights. For example: ```python # Switch from canny.... controlnet=dict( type='ControlNetModel', from_pretrained='lllyasviel/sd-controlnet-canny') # To normal.... controlnet=dict( type='ControlNetModel', from_pretrained='lllyasviel/sd-controlnet-normal') ``` ## Quick Start Running the following codes, you can get a text-generated image. ```python import cv2 import numpy as np import mmcv from mmengine import Config from PIL import Image from mmagic.registry import MODELS from mmagic.utils import register_all_modules register_all_modules() cfg = Config.fromfile('configs/controlnet/controlnet-canny.py') controlnet = MODELS.build(cfg.model).cuda() prompt = 'Room with blue walls and a yellow ceiling.' control_url = 'https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/28132635/230288866-99603172-04cb-47b3-8adb-d1aa532d1d2c.jpg' control_img = mmcv.imread(control_url) control = cv2.Canny(control_img, 100, 200) control = control[:, :, None] control = np.concatenate([control] * 3, axis=2) control = Image.fromarray(control) output_dict = controlnet.infer(prompt, control=control) samples = output_dict['samples'] for idx, sample in enumerate(samples): sample.save(f'sample_{idx}.png') controls = output_dict['controls'] for idx, control in enumerate(controls): control.save(f'control_{idx}.png') ```

If you want to pretrained weights rather than original Stable-Diffusion v1.5, you can refers to the following codes. ```python import mmcv from mmengine import Config from PIL import Image from mmagic.registry import MODELS from mmagic.utils import register_all_modules register_all_modules() cfg = Config.fromfile('configs/controlnet/controlnet-pose.py') # convert ControlNet's weight from SD-v1.5 to Counterfeit-v2.5 cfg.model.unet.from_pretrained = 'gsdf/Counterfeit-V2.5' cfg.model.vae.from_pretrained = 'gsdf/Counterfeit-V2.5' cfg.model.init_cfg['type'] = 'convert_from_unet' controlnet = MODELS.build(cfg.model).cuda() # call init_weights manually to convert weight controlnet.init_weights() prompt = 'masterpiece, best quality, sky, black hair, skirt, sailor collar, looking at viewer, short hair, building, bangs, neckerchief, long sleeves, cloudy sky, power lines, shirt, cityscape, pleated skirt, scenery, blunt bangs, city, night, black sailor collar, closed mouth' control_url = 'https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/28132635/230380893-2eae68af-d610-4f7f-aa68-c2f22c2abf7e.png' control_img = mmcv.imread(control_url) control = Image.fromarray(control_img) control.save('control.png') output_dict = controlnet.infer(prompt, control=control, width=512, height=512, guidance_scale=7.5) samples = output_dict['samples'] for idx, sample in enumerate(samples): sample.save(f'sample_{idx}.png') controls = output_dict['controls'] for idx, control in enumerate(controls): control.save(f'control_{idx}.png') ```

### Using MMInferencer You can only use several lines of codes to play controlnet by MMagic! ```python from mmagic.apis import MMagicInferencer # controlnet-canny controlnet_canny_inferencer = MMagicInferencer(model_name='controlnet', model_setting=1) text_prompts = 'Room with blue walls and a yellow ceiling.' control = 'https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/28132635/230297033-4f5c32df-365c-4cf4-8e4f-1b76a4cbb0b7.png' result_out_dir = 'controlnet_canny_res.png' controlnet_canny_inferencer.infer(text=text_prompts, control=control, result_out_dir=result_out_dir) # controlnet-pose controlnet_pose_inferencer = MMagicInferencer(model_name='controlnet', model_setting=2) text_prompts = 'masterpiece, best quality, sky, black hair, skirt, sailor collar, looking at viewer, short hair, building, bangs, neckerchief, long sleeves, cloudy sky, power lines, shirt, cityscape, pleated skirt, scenery, blunt bangs, city, night, black sailor collar, closed mouth' control = 'https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/28132635/230380893-2eae68af-d610-4f7f-aa68-c2f22c2abf7e.png' result_out_dir = 'controlnet_pose_res.png' controlnet_pose_inferencer.infer(text=text_prompts, control=control, result_out_dir=result_out_dir) # controlnet-seg controlnet_seg_inferencer = MMagicInferencer(model_name='controlnet', model_setting=3) text_prompts = 'black house, blue sky' control = 'https://github-production-user-asset-6210df.s3.amazonaws.com/49083766/243599897-553a4c46-c61d-46df-b820-59a49aaf6678.png' result_out_dir = 'controlnet_seg_res.png' controlnet_seg_inferencer.infer(text=text_prompts, control=control, result_out_dir=result_out_dir) ``` ## Train your own ControlNet! You can start training your own ControlNet with the toy dataset [Fill50K](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/blob/main/training/fill50k.zip) with the following command: ```bash bash tools/dist_train.sh configs/controlnet/controlnet-1xb1-demo_dataset 1 ``` If you want use gradient accumulation, you can add `accumulative_counts` field to the optimizer's config as follow: ```python # From... optim_wrapper = dict(controlnet=dict(optimizer=dict(type='AdamW', lr=1e-5))) # To... optim_wrapper = dict( controlnet=dict(accumulative_counts=4, optimizer=dict(type='AdamW', lr=1e-5))) ``` ## Use ToMe to accelerate your training and inference We support **[tomesd](https://github.com/dbolya/tomesd)** now! It is developed for stable-diffusion-based models referring to [ToMe](https://github.com/facebookresearch/ToMe), an efficient ViT speed-up tool based on token merging. To work on with **tomesd** in `mmagic`, you just need to add `tomesd_cfg` to `model` in [ControlNet-Canny](./controlnet-canny.py). The only requirement is `torch >= 1.12.1` in order to properly support `torch.Tensor.scatter_reduce()` functionality. Please do check it before running the demo. ```python model = dict( type='ControlStableDiffusion', ... tomesd_cfg=dict(ratio=0.5), ... init_cfg=dict(type='init_from_unet')) ``` For more details, you can refer to [Stable Diffusion Acceleration](../stable_diffusion/README.md#use-tome-to-accelerate-your-stable-diffusion-model). ## Comments Our codebase for the stable diffusion models builds heavily on [diffusers codebase](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers) and the model weights are from [stable-diffusion-1.5](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/blob/main/src/diffusers/pipelines/stable_diffusion/pipeline_stable_diffusion_controlnet.py) and [ControlNet](https://huggingface.co/lllyasviel/ControlNet/tree/main/models).
