ArtFusion: Controllable Arbitrary Style Transfer using Dual Conditional Latent Diffusion Models
_{Official PyTorch Implementation}

arXiv | BibTeX

Author: Dar-Yen Chen

This implementation is based on the CompVis/latent-diffusion repository.

Our paper presents the first learning-based arbitrary style transfer diffusion model. ArtFusion exhibits outstanding controllability and faithful representation of artistic details.

Controllability

ArtFusion empowers users with the flexibility to balance between source content and reference style in the outputs, catering to diverse stylization preferences. Results range from distinct content structures to pronounced stylization.

Style Representation

ArtFusion can capture the core style characteristics that are typically overlooked in SOTA methods, such as the blurry edges typical of Impressionist art, the texture of oil painting, and similar brush strokes.

Architecture

Environment

Create and activate the conda environment:

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate artfusion

Training

The WikiArt style dataset we use is from Kaggle, which is gathered from WIKIART.

The content dataset is MS COCO 2017.

Please download and place the datasets as:

└── datasets
    ├── ms_coco
    └── wiki-art

Download the first-stage VAE utilized in LDM to ./checkpoints/vae/kl-f16.ckpt.

Then run the commands:

python main.py \
    --name experiment_name \
    --base ./configs/kl16_content12.yaml \
    --basedir ./checkpoints \
    -t True \
    --gpus 0,

Pretrained Model

The pretrained model can be downloaded here.

Please place it at the folder ./checkpoints/artfusion/.

Inference

Inference can be done via the notebook.

Type following to set the conda environment on the jupyter notebook.

python -m ipykernel install --user --name artfusion
