sd-webui-freeu
implementation of FreeU as an a1111 sd webui extension
At each of the 3 stages of the UNet decoder:
- Apply a scalar on a window over the features of the backbone
- Tame the frequencies of the skip connection
Settings
- Start At Step: do not apply FreeU until this sampling step is reached
- Stop At Step: apply FreeU until this sampling step is reached
- Transition Smoothness: see
$k_{smooth}$ in this desmos graph - Backbone n Scale: scalar applied to the backbone window during UNet stage n
- Backbone n Offset: offset of the window, 1 is the same as 0 as the window wraps around the downsampled latent features
- Backbone n Width: width of the window applied to the backbone
- Skip n Scale: scalar applied to the low frequencies (low end) of the skip connection during UNet stage n
- Skip n High End Scale: scalar applied to the high frequencies (high end) of the skip connection
- Skip n Cutoff: ratio that separates low from high frequencies, 0 means to control the single lowest frequency with "Skip n Scale" and 1 means scale all frequencies with "Skip n Scale"
API
You can pass a single dict as the alwayson script args when making API calls:
{
"alwayson_scripts": {
"freeu": {
"args": [{
"enable": true,
"start_ratio": 0.1,
"stop_ratio": 0.9,
"transition_smoothness": 0.1,
"stage_infos": [
{
"backbone_factor": 1.2,
"backbone_offset": 0.5,
"backbone_width": 0.75,
"skip_factor": 0.9,
"skip_high_end_factor": 1.1,
"skip_cutoff": 0.3
},
{
"backbone_factor": 1.4,
"backbone_offset": 0.5,
"backbone_width": 0.75,
"skip_factor": 0.2,
"skip_high_end_factor": 1.1,
"skip_cutoff": 0.3
},
{
"backbone_factor": 1.1,
"backbone_offset": 0.5,
"backbone_width": 0.75,
"skip_factor": 0.9,
"skip_high_end_factor": 1.1,
"skip_cutoff": 0.3
}
]
}]
}
}
}
It is possible to omit any of the entries. For example:
{
"alwayson_scripts": {
"freeu": {
"args": [{
"start_ratio": 0.1,
"stage_infos": [
{
"backbone_factor": 0.8,
"backbone_offset": 0.5,
"skip_high_end_factor": 0.9
}
]
}]
}
}
}
Here, since there is a single dict in the stage_infos
array, freeu will only have an effect during the first stage of the unet.
If you want to modify only the second stage, prepend the "stage_infos"
array with 1 empty dict {}
.
If you want to modify only the third stage, prepend the "stage_infos"
array with 2 empty dicts.
If "stop_ratio"
or "start_ratio"
is an integer, then it is a step number.
Otherwise, it is expected to be a float between 0.0
and 1.0
and it represents a ratio of the total sampling steps.
