Chapter 10: Project: Image Generation with Diffusion Models
10.1 Data Collection and Preprocessing
In this chapter, we will embark on an exciting project to generate images using diffusion models. This project will provide a practical, hands-on experience with the entire workflow of building, training, and evaluating a diffusion model for image generation. By the end of this chapter, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how to apply diffusion models to create high-quality images from random noise.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Data Collection and Preprocessing
- Model Creation
- Training the Model
- Generating Images
- Evaluating the Model
Let's begin with the first step of our project: data collection and preprocessing.
The initiation of any machine learning project invariably commences with the collection and preprocessing of the relevant data. In the context of our current project, which centers around image generation, this translates to the necessity of a comprehensive dataset of images.
This is crucial as the diffusion model we are employing learns from this dataset to generate images. To source this dataset, we will rely on a dataset that is publicly available and encompasses a wide range of images. However, the raw dataset cannot be directly fed into the diffusion model for training purposes.
It will require a stage of preprocessing, a process that involves cleaning, normalizing, and possibly augmenting the data to ensure that it is in an optimal format for training the diffusion model. This step is essential as it not only enhances the efficiency of the model training process but also significantly influences the quality of the generated images.
10.1.1 Collecting the Image Data
We will use the CIFAR-10 dataset, which is a well-known dataset consisting of 60,000 32x32 color images in 10 different classes. The CIFAR-10 dataset is widely used for training and evaluating image generation models.
Example: Loading the CIFAR-10 Dataset
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras.datasets import cifar10
# Load the CIFAR-10 dataset
(train_images, _), (test_images, _) = cifar10.load_data()
# Combine training and test images
images = np.concatenate([train_images, test_images], axis=0)
# Print the shape of the dataset
print(f"Dataset shape: {images.shape}")This example code is using the TensorFlow library to load the CIFAR-10 dataset, which is a collection of 60,000 32x32 color images in 10 classes, with 6,000 images per class. There are 50,000 training images and 10,000 testing images.
The code combines the training and testing images into one dataset, and then prints the shape of this combined dataset.
10.1.2 Normalizing and Rescaling the Images
To ensure that the images are in a suitable format for training the diffusion model, we need to normalize and rescale them. Normalizing the images involves scaling the pixel values to a range of [0, 1]. Additionally, we will rescale the images to ensure that they are centered around zero.
Example: Normalizing and Rescaling the Images
# Normalize and rescale the images
images = images.astype('float32') / 255.0
images = (images - 0.5) / 0.5
# Print the range of pixel values
print(f"Pixel value range: [{images.min()}, {images.max()}]")The code is normalizing and rescaling the pixel values of an image array. Initially, it converts the pixel values from integer to float and scales them between 0 and 1 by dividing by 255. Then, it further normalizes these values to be in the range of -1 to 1 by subtracting 0.5 and dividing by 0.5. Finally, the code prints the minimum and maximum pixel values of the normalized and rescaled images.
10.1.3 Creating Training and Validation Sets
To train the diffusion model effectively, we need to split the dataset into training and validation sets. The training set will be used to train the model, while the validation set will be used to evaluate the model's performance during training.
Example: Creating Training and Validation Sets
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
# Split the dataset into training and validation sets
train_images, val_images = train_test_split(images, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
# Print the shape of the training and validation sets
print(f"Training set shape: {train_images.shape}")
print(f"Validation set shape: {val_images.shape}")This code uses the Scikit-learn library to split a dataset of images into a training set and a validation set. It reserves 20% of the images for validation (test_size=0.2), and the rest for training. The 'random_state' parameter is set to 42, ensuring that the split will be the same each time the code is run for reproducibility. After splitting, it prints the shape (the number of images and their dimensions) of the training and validation sets.
10.1.4 Data Augmentation
To improve the generalization ability of the diffusion model, we can apply data augmentation techniques. Data augmentation involves creating new training samples by applying random transformations to the existing images, such as rotations, flips, and shifts. This helps the model learn to generate more diverse and robust images.
Example: Data Augmentation
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
# Define the data augmentation pipeline
datagen = ImageDataGenerator(
rotation_range=20,
width_shift_range=0.2,
height_shift_range=0.2,
horizontal_flip=True,
)
# Fit the data augmentation pipeline on the training data
datagen.fit(train_images)
# Example of applying data augmentation to a batch of images
for batch in datagen.flow(train_images, batch_size=9):
for i in range(9):
plt.subplot(330 + 1 + i)
plt.imshow((batch[i] * 0.5) + 0.5)
plt.show()
breakThe code is using the ImageDataGenerator class from the TensorFlow Keras library to augment image data. It initially sets up a pipeline with a specific set of transformations: rotation by up to 20 degrees, width and height shifts by up to 20%, and horizontal flipping. Then, it fits this pipeline to the training images.
After setting up the data augmentation, it applies these transformations to a sample batch of images from the training set and visualizes the augmented images. Data augmentation helps to increase the diversity of the training data and reduce overfitting.
