Welcome to the exciting world of depth map creation using the powerful AUTOMATIC1111’s Stable Diffusion WebUI. In this guide, we’re going to walk you through the steps to generate high-resolution depth maps, create 3D stereo image pairs, and even process videos, all while making it user-friendly and fun!

Installation Instructions

Getting started is simple. You can install this addon as an extension directly from the Stable Diffusion WebUI or do it manually. Here’s how to do both:

• As an Extension:
  • Navigate to the Extensions tab in the WebUI.
  • Click Available, then Load from, and select the Depth Maps extension to install.
  • You can also install it from the URL: Depth Maps on GitHub.
• Updating:
  • In the WebUI, go to the Extensions tab and click on the Installed sub-tab.
  • Select Check for Updates, then Apply and restart the UI.

Usage: Generating Depth Maps

Once the extension is installed, you can start generating depth maps with just a few clicks!

• Choose the DepthMap script from the script selection box in either txt2img or img2img.
• Click on the Depth tab to upload existing images.
• Utilize various models according to your preferred settings.
• Optionally, enable features like Boost for improved results and adjust the Divergence for stereo image depth.

Understanding Depth Map Generation

Think of depth map generation like cooking a delicious meal. You have various ingredients (images and models), the recipe (script and settings), and the final dish is your rendered depth map or 3D images. Just like cooking requires careful attention to detail—like simmering sauce at the right temperature or adding spices at the correct moment—depth maps require a balance of selection between network size and structural consistency.

depth_map = generate_depth(image_input)
result = combine_with_original(image_input, depth_map)
display_result(result)

The above code snippets illustrate the process like combining your ingredients (input image) with your cooked meal (depth map) and serving it on the plate (displaying the result). Each step builds upon the last!

Troubleshooting Tips

As with any cooking endeavor, challenges may arise. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• If you encounter memory errors, consider lowering the maximum whole size for boost in the Settings.
• If processing seems slow, switch to CPU computation if GPU resources are low.
• Ensure the input image size matches the expected size to avoid any resizing issues.
