Marigold Pipelines for Computer Vision Tasks

marigold

Marigold was proposed in Repurposing Diffusion-Based Image Generators for Monocular Depth Estimation, a CVPR 2024 Oral paper by Bingxin Ke, Anton Obukhov, Shengyu Huang, Nando Metzger, Rodrigo Caye Daudt, and Konrad Schindler. The idea is to repurpose the rich generative prior of Text-to-Image Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) for traditional computer vision tasks. Initially, this idea was explored to fine-tune Stable Diffusion for Monocular Depth Estimation, as shown in the teaser above. Later,

  • Tianfu Wang trained the first Latent Consistency Model (LCM) of Marigold, which unlocked fast single-step inference;
  • Kevin Qu extended the approach to Surface Normals Estimation;
  • Anton Obukhov contributed the pipelines and documentation into diffusers (enabled and supported by YiYi Xu and Sayak Paul).

The abstract from the paper is:

Monocular depth estimation is a fundamental computer vision task. Recovering 3D depth from a single image is geometrically ill-posed and requires scene understanding, so it is not surprising that the rise of deep learning has led to a breakthrough. The impressive progress of monocular depth estimators has mirrored the growth in model capacity, from relatively modest CNNs to large Transformer architectures. Still, monocular depth estimators tend to struggle when presented with images with unfamiliar content and layout, since their knowledge of the visual world is restricted by the data seen during training, and challenged by zero-shot generalization to new domains. This motivates us to explore whether the extensive priors captured in recent generative diffusion models can enable better, more generalizable depth estimation. We introduce Marigold, a method for affine-invariant monocular depth estimation that is derived from Stable Diffusion and retains its rich prior knowledge. The estimator can be fine-tuned in a couple of days on a single GPU using only synthetic training data. It delivers state-of-the-art performance across a wide range of datasets, including over 20% performance gains in specific cases. Project page: https://marigoldmonodepth.github.io.

Available Pipelines

Each pipeline supports one Computer Vision task, which takes an input RGB image as input and produces a prediction of the modality of interest, such as a depth map of the input image. Currently, the following tasks are implemented:

Pipeline Predicted Modalities Demos
MarigoldDepthPipeline Depth, Disparity Fast Demo (LCM), Slow Original Demo (DDIM)
MarigoldNormalsPipeline Surface normals Fast Demo (LCM)

Available Checkpoints

The original checkpoints can be found under the PRS-ETH Hugging Face organization.

Make sure to check out the Schedulers guide to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the reuse components across pipelines section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines. Also, to know more about reducing the memory usage of this pipeline, refer to the [“Reduce memory usage”] section here.

Marigold pipelines were designed and tested only with DDIMScheduler and LCMScheduler. Depending on the scheduler, the number of inference steps required to get reliable predictions varies, and there is no universal value that works best across schedulers. Because of that, the default value of num_inference_steps in the __call__ method of the pipeline is set to None (see the API reference). Unless set explicitly, its value will be taken from the checkpoint configuration model_index.json. This is done to ensure high-quality predictions when calling the pipeline with just the image argument.

Parameters

  • unet (UNet2DConditionModel) — Conditional U-Net to denoise the depth latent, conditioned on image latent.
  • vae (AutoencoderKL) — Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) Model to encode and decode images and predictions to and from latent representations.
  • scheduler (DDIMScheduler or LCMScheduler) — A scheduler to be used in combination with unet to denoise the encoded image latents.
  • text_encoder (CLIPTextModel) — Text-encoder, for empty text embedding.
  • tokenizer (CLIPTokenizer) — CLIP tokenizer.
  • prediction_type (str, optional) — Type of predictions made by the model.
  • scale_invariant (bool, optional) — A model property specifying whether the predicted depth maps are scale-invariant. This value must be set in the model config. When used together with the shift_invariant=True flag, the model is also called “affine-invariant”. NB: overriding this value is not supported.
  • shift_invariant (bool, optional) — A model property specifying whether the predicted depth maps are shift-invariant. This value must be set in the model config. When used together with the scale_invariant=True flag, the model is also called “affine-invariant”. NB: overriding this value is not supported.
  • default_denoising_steps (int, optional) — The minimum number of denoising diffusion steps that are required to produce a prediction of reasonable quality with the given model. This value must be set in the model config. When the pipeline is called without explicitly setting num_inference_steps, the default value is used. This is required to ensure reasonable results with various model flavors compatible with the pipeline, such as those relying on very short denoising schedules (LCMScheduler) and those with full diffusion schedules (DDIMScheduler).
  • default_processing_resolution (int, optional) — The recommended value of the processing_resolution parameter of the pipeline. This value must be set in the model config. When the pipeline is called without explicitly setting processing_resolution, the default value is used. This is required to ensure reasonable results with various model flavors trained with varying optimal processing resolution values.

Parameters

  • image (PIL.Image.Image, np.ndarray, torch.Tensor, List[PIL.Image.Image], List[np.ndarray]), — List[torch.Tensor]: An input image or images used as an input for the depth estimation task. For arrays and tensors, the expected value range is between [0, 1]. Passing a batch of images is possible by providing a four-dimensional array or a tensor. Additionally, a list of images of two- or three-dimensional arrays or tensors can be passed. In the latter case, all list elements must have the same width and height.
  • num_inference_steps (int, optional, defaults to None) — Number of denoising diffusion steps during inference. The default value None results in automatic selection. The number of steps should be at least 10 with the full Marigold models, and between 1 and 4 for Marigold-LCM models.
  • ensemble_size (int, defaults to 1) — Number of ensemble predictions. Recommended values are 5 and higher for better precision, or 1 for faster inference.
  • processing_resolution (int, optional, defaults to None) — Effective processing resolution. When set to 0, matches the larger input image dimension. This produces crisper predictions, but may also lead to the overall loss of global context. The default value None resolves to the optimal value from the model config.
  • match_input_resolution (bool, optional, defaults to True) — When enabled, the output prediction is resized to match the input dimensions. When disabled, the longer side of the output will equal to processing_resolution.
  • resample_method_input (str, optional, defaults to "bilinear") — Resampling method used to resize input images to processing_resolution. The accepted values are: "nearest", "nearest-exact", "bilinear", "bicubic", or "area".
  • resample_method_output (str, optional, defaults to "bilinear") — Resampling method used to resize output predictions to match the input resolution. The accepted values are "nearest", "nearest-exact", "bilinear", "bicubic", or "area".
  • batch_size (int, optional, defaults to 1) — Batch size; only matters when setting ensemble_size or passing a tensor of images.
  • ensembling_kwargs (dict, optional, defaults to None) — Extra dictionary with arguments for precise ensembling control. The following options are available:
    • reduction (str, optional, defaults to "median"): Defines the ensembling function applied in every pixel location, can be either "median" or "mean".
    • regularizer_strength (float, optional, defaults to 0.02): Strength of the regularizer that pulls the aligned predictions to the unit range from 0 to 1.
    • max_iter (int, optional, defaults to 2): Maximum number of the alignment solver steps. Refer to scipy.optimize.minimize function, options argument.
    • tol (float, optional, defaults to 1e-3): Alignment solver tolerance. The solver stops when the tolerance is reached.
    • max_res (int, optional, defaults to None): Resolution at which the alignment is performed; None matches the processing_resolution.
  • latents (torch.Tensor, or List[torch.Tensor], optional, defaults to None) — Latent noise tensors to replace the random initialization. These can be taken from the previous function call’s output.
  • generator (torch.Generator, or List[torch.Generator], optional, defaults to None) — Random number generator object to ensure reproducibility.
  • output_type (str, optional, defaults to "np") — Preferred format of the output’s prediction and the optional uncertainty fields. The accepted values are: "np" (numpy array) or "pt" (torch tensor).
  • output_uncertainty (bool, optional, defaults to False) — When enabled, the output’s uncertainty field contains the predictive uncertainty map, provided that the ensemble_size argument is set to a value above 2.
  • output_latent (bool, optional, defaults to False) — When enabled, the output’s latent field contains the latent codes corresponding to the predictions within the ensemble. These codes can be saved, modified, and used for subsequent calls with the latents argument.
  • return_dict (bool, optional, defaults to True) — Whether or not to return a MarigoldDepthOutput instead of a plain tuple.

Returns

MarigoldDepthOutput or tuple

If return_dict is True, MarigoldDepthOutput is returned, otherwise a tuple is returned where the first element is the prediction, the second element is the uncertainty (or None), and the third is the latent (or None).

Returns

A tensor of aligned and ensembled depth maps and optionally a tensor of uncertainties of the same shape

(1, 1, H, W).

Ensembles the depth maps represented by the depth tensor with expected shape (B, 1, H, W), where B is the number of ensemble members for a given prediction of size (H x W). Even though the function is designed for depth maps, it can also be used with disparity maps as long as the input tensor values are non-negative. The alignment happens when the predictions have one or more degrees of freedom, that is when they are either affine-invariant (scale_invariant=True and shift_invariant=True), or just scale-invariant (only scale_invariant=True). For absolute predictions (scale_invariant=False and shift_invariant=False) alignment is skipped and only ensembling is performed.
