Taming Transformers for High-Resolution Image Synthesis
Patrick Esser*, Robin Rombach*, Björn Ommer
* equal contribution

tl;dr We combine the efficiancy of convolutional approaches with the expressivity of transformers by introducing a convolutional VQGAN, which learns a codebook of context-rich visual parts, whose composition is modeled with an autoregressive transformer.

2021

  • Thanks to rom1504 it is now easy to train a VQGAN on your own datasets.
  • Included a bugfix for the quantizer. For backward compatibility it is disabled by default (which corresponds to always training with beta=1.0). Use legacy=False in the quantizer config to enable it. Thanks richcmwang and wcshin-git!
  • Our paper received an update: See https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.09841v3 and the corresponding changelog.
  • Added a pretrained, 1.4B transformer model trained for class-conditional ImageNet synthesis, which obtains state-of-the-art FID scores among autoregressive approaches and outperforms BigGAN.
  • Added pretrained, unconditional models on FFHQ and CelebA-HQ.
  • Added accelerated sampling via caching of keys/values in the self-attention operation, used in scripts/sample_fast.py.
  • Added a checkpoint of a VQGAN trained with f8 compression and Gumbel-Quantization. See also our updated reconstruction notebook.
  • We added a colab notebook which compares two VQGANs and OpenAI's DALL-E. See also this section.
  • We now include an overview of pretrained models in Tab.1. We added models for COCO and ADE20k.
  • The streamlit demo now supports image completions.
  • We now include a couple of examples from the D-RIN dataset so you can run the D-RIN demo without preparing the dataset first.
  • You can now jump right into sampling with our Colab quickstart notebook.

Requirements

A suitable conda environment named taming can be created and activated with:

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate taming

Overview of pretrained models

The following table provides an overview of all models that are currently available. FID scores were evaluated using torch-fidelity. For reference, we also include a link to the recently released autoencoder of the DALL-E model. See the corresponding colab notebook for a comparison and discussion of reconstruction capabilities.

Running pretrained models

The commands below will start a streamlit demo which supports sampling at different resolutions and image completions. To run a non-interactive version of the sampling process, replace streamlit run scripts/sample_conditional.py -- by python scripts/make_samples.py --outdir <path_to_write_samples_to> and keep the remaining command line arguments.

To sample from unconditional or class-conditional models, run python scripts/sample_fast.py -r <path/to/config_and_checkpoint>. We describe below how to use this script to sample from the ImageNet, FFHQ, and CelebA-HQ models, respectively.

S-FLCKR

teaser

You can also run this model in a Colab notebook, which includes all necessary steps to start sampling.

Download the 2020-11-09T13-31-51_sflckr folder and place it into logs. Then, run

streamlit run scripts/sample_conditional.py -- -r logs/2020-11-09T13-31-51_sflckr/

ImageNet

teaser

Download the 2021-04-03T19-39-50_cin_transformer folder and place it into logs. Sampling from the class-conditional ImageNet model does not require any data preparation. To produce 50 samples for each of the 1000 classes of ImageNet, with k=600 for top-k sampling, p=0.92 for nucleus sampling and temperature t=1.0, run

python scripts/sample_fast.py -r logs/2021-04-03T19-39-50_cin_transformer/ -n 50 -k 600 -t 1.0 -p 0.92 --batch_size 25   

To restrict the model to certain classes, provide them via the --classes argument, separated by commas. For example, to sample 50 ostriches, border collies and whiskey jugs, run

python scripts/sample_fast.py -r logs/2021-04-03T19-39-50_cin_transformer/ -n 50 -k 600 -t 1.0 -p 0.92 --batch_size 25 --classes 9,232,901   

We recommended to experiment with the autoregressive decoding parameters (top-k, top-p and temperature) for best results.

FFHQ/CelebA-HQ

Download the 2021-04-23T18-19-01_ffhq_transformer and 2021-04-23T18-11-19_celebahq_transformer folders and place them into logs. Again, sampling from these unconditional models does not require any data preparation. To produce 50000 samples, with k=250 for top-k sampling, p=1.0 for nucleus sampling and temperature t=1.0, run

python scripts/sample_fast.py -r logs/2021-04-23T18-19-01_ffhq_transformer/   

for FFHQ and

python scripts/sample_fast.py -r logs/2021-04-23T18-11-19_celebahq_transformer/   

to sample from the CelebA-HQ model. For both models it can be advantageous to vary the top-k/top-p parameters for sampling.

FacesHQ

teaser

Download 2020-11-13T21-41-45_faceshq_transformer and place it into logs. Follow the data preparation steps for CelebA-HQ and FFHQ. Run

streamlit run scripts/sample_conditional.py -- -r logs/2020-11-13T21-41-45_faceshq_transformer/

D-RIN

teaser

Download 2020-11-20T12-54-32_drin_transformer and place it into logs. To run the demo on a couple of example depth maps included in the repository, run

streamlit run scripts/sample_conditional.py -- -r logs/2020-11-20T12-54-32_drin_transformer/ --ignore_base_data data="{target: main.DataModuleFromConfig, params: {batch_size: 1, validation: {target: taming.data.imagenet.DRINExamples}}}"

To run the demo on the complete validation set, first follow the data preparation steps for ImageNet and then run

streamlit run scripts/sample_conditional.py -- -r logs/2020-11-20T12-54-32_drin_transformer/

COCO

Download 2021-01-20T16-04-20_coco_transformer and place it into logs. To run the demo on a couple of example segmentation maps included in the repository, run

streamlit run scripts/sample_conditional.py -- -r logs/2021-01-20T16-04-20_coco_transformer/ --ignore_base_data data="{target: main.DataModuleFromConfig, params: {batch_size: 1, validation: {target: taming.data.coco.Examples}}}"

ADE20k

Download 2020-11-20T21-45-44_ade20k_transformer and place it into logs. To run the demo on a couple of example segmentation maps included in the repository, run

streamlit run scripts/sample_conditional.py -- -r logs/2020-11-20T21-45-44_ade20k_transformer/ --ignore_base_data data="{target: main.DataModuleFromConfig, params: {batch_size: 1, validation: {target: taming.data.ade20k.Examples}}}"

Scene Image Synthesis

teaser Scene image generation based on bounding box conditionals as done in our CVPR2021 AI4CC workshop paper High-Resolution Complex Scene Synthesis with Transformers (see talk on workshop page). Supporting the datasets COCO and Open Images.

Training

Download first-stage models COCO-8k-VQGAN for COCO or COCO/Open-Images-8k-VQGAN for Open Images. Change ckpt_path in data/coco_scene_images_transformer.yaml and data/open_images_scene_images_transformer.yaml to point to the downloaded first-stage models. Download the full COCO/OI datasets and adapt data_path in the same files, unless working with the 100 files provided for training and validation suits your needs already.

Code can be run with python main.py --base configs/coco_scene_images_transformer.yaml -t True --gpus 0, or python main.py --base configs/open_images_scene_images_transformer.yaml -t True --gpus 0,

Sampling

Train a model as described above or download a pre-trained model:

  • Open Images 1 billion parameter model available that trained 100 epochs. On 256x256 pixels, FID 41.48±0.21, SceneFID 14.60±0.15, Inception Score 18.47±0.27. The model was trained with 2d crops of images and is thus well-prepared for the task of generating high-resolution images, e.g. 512x512.
  • Open Images distilled version of the above model with 125 million parameters allows for sampling on smaller GPUs (4 GB is enough for sampling 256x256 px images). Model was trained for 60 epochs with 10% soft loss, 90% hard loss. On 256x256 pixels, FID 43.07±0.40, SceneFID 15.93±0.19, Inception Score 17.23±0.11.
  • COCO 30 epochs
  • COCO 60 epochs (find model statistics for both COCO versions in assets/coco_scene_images_training.svg)

When downloading a pre-trained model, remember to change ckpt_path in configs/*project.yaml to point to your downloaded first-stage model (see ->Training).

Scene image generation can be run with python scripts/make_scene_samples.py --outdir=/some/outdir -r /path/to/pretrained/model --resolution=512,512

Training on custom data

Training on your own dataset can be beneficial to get better tokens and hence better images for your domain. Those are the steps to follow to make this work:

  1. install the repo with conda env create -f environment.yaml, conda activate taming and pip install -e .
  2. put your .jpg files in a folder your_folder
  3. create 2 text files a xx_train.txt and xx_test.txt that point to the files in your training and test set respectively (for example find $(pwd)/your_folder -name "*.jpg" > train.txt)
  4. adapt configs/custom_vqgan.yaml to point to these 2 files
  5. run python main.py --base configs/custom_vqgan.yaml -t True --gpus 0,1 to train on two GPUs. Use --gpus 0, (with a trailing comma) to train on a single GPU.

Data Preparation

ImageNet

The code will try to download (through Academic Torrents) and prepare ImageNet the first time it is used. However, since ImageNet is quite large, this requires a lot of disk space and time. If you already have ImageNet on your disk, you can speed things up by putting the data into ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/data/ (which defaults to ~/.cache/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/data/), where {split} is one of train/validation. It should have the following structure:

${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/data/
├── n01440764
│   ├── n01440764_10026.JPEG
│   ├── n01440764_10027.JPEG
│   ├── ...
├── n01443537
│   ├── n01443537_10007.JPEG
│   ├── n01443537_10014.JPEG
│   ├── ...
├── ...

If you haven't extracted the data, you can also place ILSVRC2012_img_train.tar/ILSVRC2012_img_val.tar (or symlinks to them) into ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_train/ / ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_validation/, which will then be extracted into above structure without downloading it again. Note that this will only happen if neither a folder ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/data/ nor a file ${XDG_CACHE}/autoencoders/data/ILSVRC2012_{split}/.ready exist. Remove them if you want to force running the dataset preparation again.

You will then need to prepare the depth data using MiDaS. Create a symlink data/imagenet_depth pointing to a folder with two subfolders train and val, each mirroring the structure of the corresponding ImageNet folder described above and containing a png file for each of ImageNet's JPEG files. The png encodes float32 depth values obtained from MiDaS as RGBA images. We provide the script scripts/extract_depth.py to generate this data. Please note that this script uses MiDaS via PyTorch Hub. When we prepared the data, the hub provided the MiDaS v2.0 version, but now it provides a v2.1 version. We haven't tested our models with depth maps obtained via v2.1 and if you want to make sure that things work as expected, you must adjust the script to make sure it explicitly uses v2.0!

CelebA-HQ

Create a symlink data/celebahq pointing to a folder containing the .npy files of CelebA-HQ (instructions to obtain them can be found in the PGGAN repository).

FFHQ

Create a symlink data/ffhq pointing to the images1024x1024 folder obtained from the FFHQ repository.

S-FLCKR

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to distribute the images we collected for the S-FLCKR dataset and can therefore only give a description how it was produced. There are many resources on collecting images from the web to get started. We collected sufficiently large images from flickr (see data/flickr_tags.txt for a full list of tags used to find images) and various subreddits (see data/subreddits.txt for all subreddits that were used). Overall, we collected 107625 images, and split them randomly into 96861 training images and 10764 validation images. We then obtained segmentation masks for each image using DeepLab v2 trained on COCO-Stuff. We used a PyTorch reimplementation and include an example script for this process in scripts/extract_segmentation.py.

COCO

Create a symlink data/coco containing the images from the 2017 split in train2017 and val2017, and their annotations in annotations. Files can be obtained from the COCO webpage. In addition, we use the Stuff+thing PNG-style annotations on COCO 2017 trainval annotations from COCO-Stuff, which should be placed under data/cocostuffthings.

ADE20k

Create a symlink data/ade20k_root containing the contents of ADEChallengeData2016.zip from the MIT Scene Parsing Benchmark.

Training models

FacesHQ

Train a VQGAN with

python main.py --base configs/faceshq_vqgan.yaml -t True --gpus 0,

Then, adjust the checkpoint path of the config key model.params.first_stage_config.params.ckpt_path in configs/faceshq_transformer.yaml (or download 2020-11-09T13-33-36_faceshq_vqgan and place into logs, which corresponds to the preconfigured checkpoint path), then run

python main.py --base configs/faceshq_transformer.yaml -t True --gpus 0,

D-RIN

Train a VQGAN on ImageNet with

python main.py --base configs/imagenet_vqgan.yaml -t True --gpus 0,

To train the transformer, run

python main.py --base configs/drin_transformer.yaml -t True --gpus 0,
