DiffSketcher: Text Guided Vector Sketch Synthesis through Latent Diffusion Models

This repository contains our official implementation of the NeurIPS 2023 paper: DiffSketcher: Text Guided Vector Sketch Synthesis through Latent Diffusion Models, which can generate high-quality vector sketches based on text prompts.

DiffSketcher Rendering Process:

| | | | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | Prompt: Macaw full color, ultra detailed, realistic, insanely beautiful | Prompt: Very detailed masterpiece painting of baby yoda hoding a lightsaber | Prompt: Sailboat sailing in the sea on a clear day |

:new: Update

• [01/2024] 🔥 We released the SVGDreamer. SVGDreamer is a novel text-guided vector graphics synthesis method. This method considers both the editing of vector graphics and the quality of the synthesis.
• [12/2023] 🔥 We released the PyTorch-SVGRender. Pytorch-SVGRender is the go-to library for state-of-the-art differentiable rendering methods for image vectorization.
• [11/2023] We thank @camenduru for implementing the DiffSketcher-colab.
• [10/2023] We released the DiffSketcher code.
• [10/2023] We released the VectorFusion code.

📌 Installation Guide

To quickly get started with DiffSketcher, follow the steps below.
These instructions will help you run quick inference locally.

🚀 Option 1: Standard Installation

Run the following command in the top-level directory:

shell chmod +x script/install.sh bash script/install.sh

🐳 Option 2: Using Docker

shell chmod +x script/run_docker.sh sudo bash script/run_docker.sh

🔥 Quickstart

From the abstract to the concrete:

| 16 Paths | 36 Paths | 48 Paths | 96 Paths | 128 Paths | |:------------------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------------------:|:------------------------------------------------------:|:-------------------------------------------------------:| | | | | | |

Script:

shell python run_painterly_render.py \ -c diffsketcher.yaml \ -eval_step 10 -save_step 10 \ -update "token_ind=4 num_paths=96 num_iter=800" \ -pt "a photo of Sydney opera house" \ -respath ./workdir/sydney_opera_house \ -d 8019 \ --download

• -c a.k.a --config: configuration file, saving in DiffSketcher/config/.
• -eval_step: the step size used to eval the method (too frequent calls will result in longer times).
• -save_step: the step size used to save the result (too frequent calls will result in longer times).
• -update: a tool for editing the hyper-params of the configuration file, so you don't need to create a new yaml.
• -pt a.k.a --prompt: text prompt.
• -respath a.k.a --results_path: the folder to save results.
• -d a.k.a --seed: random seed.
• --download: download models from huggingface automatically when you first run them.

crucial:

• -update "token_ind=4" indicates the index of cross-attn maps to init strokes.
• -update "num_paths=96" indicates the number of strokes.

optional:

• -npt, a.k.a --negative_prompt: negative text prompt.
• -mv, a.k.a --make_video: make a video of the rendering process (it will take much longer).
• -frame_freq, a.k.a --video_frame_freq: the interval of the number of steps to save the image.
• -framerate, a.k.a --video_frame_rate: control the playback speed of the output video.
• Note: Download U2Net model and place in checkpoint/ dir if xdog_intersec=True
• add enable_xformers=True in -update to enable xformers for speeding up.
• add gradient_checkpoint=True in -update to use gradient checkpoint for low VRAM.

• -style: the path of style img place.
• style_warmup: add style loss after style_warmup step.
• style_strength: How strong the style should be. 100 (max) is a lot. 0 (min) is no style.

TODO

• [x] Add a webUI demo.
• [x] Add support for colorful results and oil painting.
