VQGAN-CLIP Overview

A repo for running VQGAN+CLIP locally. This started out as a Katherine Crowson VQGAN+CLIP derived Google colab notebook.

Original notebook:

Some example images:

Environment:

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3090
Typical VRAM requirements:
- 24 GB for a 900x900 image
- 10 GB for a 512x512 image
- 8 GB for a 380x380 image

Still a work in progress - I've not actually tested everything yet :)

Set up

Example set up using Anaconda to create a virtual Python environment with the prerequisites:

conda create --name vqgan python=3.9
conda activate vqgan

pip install torch==1.9.0+cu111 torchvision==0.10.0+cu111 torchaudio==0.9.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
pip install ftfy regex tqdm omegaconf pytorch-lightning IPython kornia imageio imageio-ffmpeg einops 

git clone https://github.com/openai/CLIP
git clone https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers.git

You will also need at least 1 VQGAN pretrained model. E.g.

mkdir checkpoints
curl -L -o checkpoints/vqgan_imagenet_f16_16384.yaml -C - 'http://mirror.io.community/blob/vqgan/vqgan_imagenet_f16_16384.yaml' #ImageNet 16384
curl -L -o checkpoints/vqgan_imagenet_f16_16384.ckpt -C - 'http://mirror.io.community/blob/vqgan/vqgan_imagenet_f16_16384.ckpt' #ImageNet 16384

By default, the model .yaml and .ckpt files are expected in the checkpoints directory. See https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers for more information on datasets and models.

Run

To generate images from text, specify your text prompt as shown in the example below:

python generate.py -p "A painting of an apple in a fruit bowl"

Multiple prompts

Text and image prompts can be split using the pipe symbol in order to allow multiple prompts. For example:

python generate.py -p "A painting of an apple in a fruit bowl | psychedelic | surreal | weird"

Image prompts can be split in the same way. For example:

python generate.py -p "A picture of a bedroom with a portrait of Van Gogh" -ip "samples/VanGogh.jpg | samples/Bedroom.png"

"Style Transfer"

An input image with style text and a low number of iterations can be used create a sort of "style transfer" effect. For example:

python generate.py -p "A painting in the style of Picasso" -ii samples/VanGogh.jpg -i 80 -se 10 -opt AdamW -lr 0.25

Output	Style
	Picasso
	Sketch
	Psychedelic

Feedback example

By feeding back the generated images and making slight changes, some interesting effects can be created.

The example zoom.sh shows this by applying a zoom and rotate to generated images, before feeding them back in again. To use zoom.sh, specifying a text prompt, output filename and number of frames. E.g.

./zoom.sh "A painting of a red telephone box spinning through a time vortex" Telephone.png 150

Random text example

Use random.sh to make a batch of images from random text. Edit the text and number of generated images to your taste!

./random.sh
