Abstract:
Diffusion models have opened the path to a wide range of text-based image editing frameworks. However, these typically build on the multi-step nature of the diffusion backwards process, and adapting them to distilled, fast- sampling methods has proven surprisingly challenging. Here, we focus on a popular line of text-based editing frameworks - the “edit-friendly” DDPM-noise inversion approach. We analyze its application to fast sampling methods and categorize its failures into two classes: the appearance of visual artifacts, and insufficient editing strength. We trace the artifacts to mismatched noise statistics between inverted noises and the expected noise schedule, and suggest a shifted noise schedule which corrects for this offset. To increase editing strength, we propose a pseudo-guidance approach that efficiently increases the magnitude of edits without introducing new artifacts. All in all, our method enables text-based image editing with as few as three diffusion steps, while providing novel insights into the mechanisms behind popular text-based editing approaches.

Description

This repo contains the official code for the TurboEdit paper.

TODO:

• [x] Release code!
• [ ] Add support for prompt-to-prompt

Setup

Our code is built on the diffusers library.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Note that the code may still run with versions different than the ones specified in the requirements.txt, but may produce different results.

Edit

To perform inference, put your images in a folder and create a json file with the source and target prompts (similarly to our dataset/dataset.json file) and run -

python main.py --prompts_file="dataset/dataset.json"

You can experiment with --fp16 --timesteps=3 for faster inference, and possibly results that are somewhat less good.

You can experiment with --w=GUIDANCE_VAL for stronger/weaker alignment with the target prompt (where --w=0 means to not guide the input image at all, i.e. not change it).

Gradio demo

Alternatively, if you want to experiment using Gradio's UI, run -

python app.py
