đ Controlnet - Depth Version
ControlNet is a neural network structure that enables the control of diffusion models by incorporating additional conditions. This specific checkpoint is designed for Depth estimation conditioning. It can be used in conjunction with Stable Diffusion.

đ Quick Start
It is recommended to use the checkpoint with Stable Diffusion v1 - 5 as the checkpoint has been trained on it. Experimentally, the checkpoint can be used with other diffusion models such as dreamboothed stable diffusion.

Model Details
Introduction
Controlnet was proposed in Adding Conditional Control to Text-to-Image Diffusion Models by Lvmin Zhang, Maneesh Agrawala.
The abstract reads as follows:
We present a neural network structure, ControlNet, to control pretrained large diffusion models to support additional input conditions. The ControlNet learns task-specific conditions in an end-to-end way, and the learning is robust even when the training dataset is small (< 50k). Moreover, training a ControlNet is as fast as fine-tuning a diffusion model, and the model can be trained on a personal devices. Alternatively, if powerful computation clusters are available, the model can scale to large amounts (millions to billions) of data. We report that large diffusion models like Stable Diffusion can be augmented with ControlNets to enable conditional inputs like edge maps, segmentation maps, keypoints, etc. This may enrich the methods to control large diffusion models and further facilitate related applications.
Released Checkpoints
The authors released 8 different checkpoints, each trained with Stable Diffusion v1 - 5 on a different type of conditioning:
Training
The depth model was trained on 3M depth - image, caption pairs. The depth images were generated with Midas. The model was trained for 500 GPU - hours with Nvidia A100 80G using Stable Diffusion 1.5 as a base model.
