• Abstract summary: We consider alternative strategies for adding ControlNet-like conditional control to Consistency Models. A lightweight adapter can be jointly optimized under multiple conditions through Consistency Training. We study these three solutions across various conditional controls, including edge, depth, human pose, low-resolution image and masked image.

• Abstract: Consistency Models (CMs) have showed a promise in creating visual content efficiently and with high quality. However, the way to add new conditional controls to the pretrained CMs has not been explored. In this technical report, we consider alternative strategies for adding ControlNet-like conditional control to CMs and present three significant findings. 1) ControlNet trained for diffusion models (DMs) can be directly applied to CMs for high-level semantic controls but struggles with low-level detail and realism control. 2) CMs serve as an independent class of generative models, based on which ControlNet can be trained from scratch using Consistency Training proposed by Song et al. 3) A lightweight adapter can be jointly optimized under multiple conditions through Consistency Training, allowing for the swift transfer of DMs-based ControlNet to CMs. We study these three solutions across various conditional controls, including edge, depth, human pose, low-resolution image and masked image with text-to-image latent consistency models.

  We introduce DC (Decouple)-ControlNet, a framework for multi-condition image generation. The core idea behind DC-ControlNet is to decouple control conditions, transforming global control into a hierarchical system. For interactions between elements, we introduce the Inter-Element Controller, which accurately handles multi-element interactions.

  We introduce Uni-ControlNet, a unified framework that allows for the simultaneous utilization of different local controls and global controls. Unlike existing methods, Uni-ControlNet only requires the fine-tuning of two additional adapters upon frozen pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models. Uni-ControlNet demonstrates its superiority over existing methods in terms of controllability, generation quality and composability.
