🚀 LDM3D model
The LDM3D model is a latent diffusion model for 3D that can generate RGB images and depth maps from text prompts, with potential applications in various industries.
🚀 Quick Start
You can use this model to generate an RGB image and depth map given a text prompt. A short video summarizing the approach can be found at this url and a VR demo can be found here. A demo is also accessible on Spaces.
Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch on both a CPU and GPU architecture:
from diffusers import StableDiffusionLDM3DPipeline
pipe = StableDiffusionLDM3DPipeline.from_pretrained("Intel/ldm3d")
pipe.to("cpu")
pipe.to("cuda")
prompt = "A picture of some lemons on a table"
name = "lemons"
output = pipe(prompt)
rgb_image, depth_image = output.rgb, output.depth
rgb_image[0].save(name+"_ldm3d_rgb.jpg")
depth_image[0].save(name+"_ldm3d_depth.png")
This is the result:

✨ Features
- Text-to-3D Generation: Generate both RGB images and depth maps from text prompts.
- Multiple Checkpoints: New checkpoints like
ldm3d-4c
, ldm3d-pano
, and ldm3d-sr
are available for different use cases.
- Industry Potential: Has the potential to transform industries such as entertainment, gaming, architecture, and design.

📚 Documentation
Model Details
The LDM3D model was proposed in the paper LDM3D: Latent Diffusion Model for 3D, authored by Gabriela Ben Melech Stan, Diana Wofk, Scottie Fox, Alex Redden, Will Saxton, Jean Yu, Estelle Aflalo, Shao-Yen Tseng, Fabio Nonato, Matthias Muller, and Vasudev Lal. It was accepted to the IEEE / CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR) in 2023.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
This research paper proposes a Latent Diffusion Model for 3D (LDM3D) that generates both image and depth map data from a given text prompt, allowing users to generate RGBD images from text prompts. The LDM3D model is fine-tuned on a dataset of tuples containing an RGB image, depth map and caption, and validated through extensive experiments. We also develop an application called DepthFusion, which uses the img2img pipeline to create immersive and interactive 360-degree-view experiences using TouchDesigner. This technology has the potential to transform a wide range of industries, from entertainment and gaming to architecture and design. Overall, this paper presents a significant contribution to the field of generative AI and computer vision, and showcases the potential of LDM3D and DepthFusion to revolutionize content creation and digital experiences.

Training Data
The LDM3D model was finetuned on a dataset constructed from a subset of the LAION-400M dataset, a large-scale image-caption dataset that contains over 400 million image-caption pairs.
Finetuning
The fine-tuning process comprises two stages. In the first stage, we train an autoencoder to generate a lower-dimensional, perceptually equivalent data representation. Subsequently, we fine-tune the diffusion model using the frozen autoencoder

🔧 Technical Details
The fine-tuning process of the LDM3D model involves two stages. First, an autoencoder is trained to generate a lower-dimensional, perceptually equivalent data representation. Then, the diffusion model is fine-tuned using the frozen autoencoder.
