Welcome to our guide on utilizing the Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus! If you’re looking to leverage the power of AI in creating stunning visual representations from textual prompts, you’ve landed in the right place. In this article, we will walk you through the steps required to set up and run the model, along with troubleshooting tips to guide you on your journey.

📖 Introduction

The Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus module is designed to generate high-quality images from text prompts, effectively capturing facial features and structure. Trained on an extensive face dataset, it utilizes embeddings generated by insightface to ensure that the created images are not only visually appealing but also textually faithful to the descriptions provided.

📊 Evaluation

To ensure the effectiveness of the Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus, a rigorous evaluation process was performed. A test set comprised of over 200 images and text prompts was rated by several image experts on various criteria such as:

• Visual Appeal
• Text Faithfulness
• Face Similarity
• Facial Aesthetics
• Overall Satisfaction

It was found that Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus outperformed its competitors in all assessed metrics. The following table summarizes the outcomes:

|       Model       |  Average Text Faithfulness | Average Visual Appeal | Average Face Similarity | Average Facial Aesthetics | Average Overall Satisfaction |
| :--------------: | :--------: | :--------: | :--------: | :--------: | :--------: |
| SDXL-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus | 4.014 | 3.455 | 3.05 | 2.584 | 2.448 |
| **Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus** | **4.235** |  **4.374**  | **4.415** | **3.887** | **3.561** |

*Note: Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus uses Chinese prompts, while SDXL-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus employs English prompts.*

🛠️ Usage

Requirements

To get started, you will need to clone the required repository and install the necessary dependencies. The setup process mirrors that of the Kolors-BaseModel.

Step 1: Clone the Repository and Install Dependencies

apt-get install git-lfs
git clone https://github.com/Kwai-Kolors/Kolors
cd Kolors
conda create --name kolors python=3.8
conda activate kolors
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install insightface onnxruntime-gpu
python3 setup.py install

Step 2: Download Weights

You can download the necessary weights using the following commands:

huggingface-cli download --resume-download Kwai-Kolors/Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus --local-dir weights/Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus
or
git lfs clone https://huggingface.co/Kwai-Kolors/Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus weights/Kolors-IP-Adapter-FaceID-Plus

Step 3: Run Inference

Finally, you can run the model for inference with your own images and text prompts as follows:

python ipadapter_FaceID/sample_ipadapter_faceid_plus.py ./ipadapter_FaceID/assets/image1.png "A formal dinner scene under the stars, illuminated by candlelight."
python ipadapter_FaceID/sample_ipadapter_faceid_plus.py ./ipadapter_FaceID/assets/image2.png "A western cowboy with a cowboy hat in a rustic setting at sunset, shooting on XT4 film, with warm tones and a vintage aesthetic."

🛠️ Troubleshooting

While following these steps, you may encounter some common issues:

• Installation Errors: If you face problems while installing dependencies, ensure that your Python and Conda versions are compatible with the required packages.
• Inference Failures: If the model fails to generate images, double-check the paths of your input images and ensure they’re correctly formatted.
• Performance Issues: Make sure your environment has adequate GPU support. Running these models without proper hardware can lead to performance degradation.
