## Installation
An [Installation Guide](https://github.com/Zheng-Chong/CatVTON/blob/main/INSTALL.md) is provided to help build the conda environment for CatVTON. When deploying the app, you will need Detectron2 & DensePose, which are not required for inference on datasets. Install the packages according to your needs.
## Deployment
### ComfyUI Workflow
We have modified the main code to enable easy deployment of CatVTON on [ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI). Due to the incompatibility of the code structure, we have released this part in the [Releases](https://github.com/Zheng-Chong/CatVTON/releases/tag/ComfyUI), which includes the code placed under `custom_nodes` of ComfyUI and our workflow JSON files.
To deploy CatVTON to your ComfyUI, follow these steps:
1. Install all the requirements for both CatVTON and ComfyUI, refer to [Installation Guide for CatVTON](https://github.com/Zheng-Chong/CatVTON/blob/main/INSTALL.md) and [Installation Guide for ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing).
2. Download [`ComfyUI-CatVTON.zip`](https://github.com/Zheng-Chong/CatVTON/releases/download/ComfyUI/ComfyUI-CatVTON.zip) and unzip it in the `custom_nodes` folder under your ComfyUI project (clone from [ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI)).
3. Run the ComfyUI.
4. Download [`catvton_workflow.json`](https://github.com/Zheng-Chong/CatVTON/releases/download/ComfyUI/catvton_workflow.json) and drag it into you ComfyUI webpage and enjoy 😆!
> Problems under Windows OS, please refer to [issue#8](https://github.com/Zheng-Chong/CatVTON/issues/8).
>
When you run the CatVTON workflow for the first time, the weight files will be automatically downloaded, usually taking dozens of minutes.
### Gradio App
To deploy the Gradio App for CatVTON on your machine, run the following command, and checkpoints will be automatically downloaded from HuggingFace.
```PowerShell
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python app.py \
--output_dir="resource/demo/output" \
--mixed_precision="bf16" \
--allow_tf32
```
When using `bf16` precision, generating results with a resolution of `1024x768` only requires about `8G` VRAM.
## Inference
### 1. Data Preparation
Before inference, you need to download the [VITON-HD](https://github.com/shadow2496/VITON-HD) or [DressCode](https://github.com/aimagelab/dress-code) dataset.
Once the datasets are downloaded, the folder structures should look like these:
```
├── VITON-HD
| ├── test_pairs_unpaired.txt
│ ├── test
| | ├── image
│ │ │ ├── [000006_00.jpg | 000008_00.jpg | ...]
│ │ ├── cloth
│ │ │ ├── [000006_00.jpg | 000008_00.jpg | ...]
│ │ ├── agnostic-mask
│ │ │ ├── [000006_00_mask.png | 000008_00.png | ...]
...
```
For the DressCode dataset, we provide [our preprocessed agnostic masks](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uT88nYQl0n5qHz6zngb9WxGlX4ArAbVX?usp=share_link), download and place in `agnostic_masks` folders under each category.
```
├── DressCode
| ├── test_pairs_paired.txt
| ├── test_pairs_unpaired.txt
│ ├── [dresses | lower_body | upper_body]
| | ├── test_pairs_paired.txt
| | ├── test_pairs_unpaired.txt
│ │ ├── images
│ │ │ ├── [013563_0.jpg | 013563_1.jpg | 013564_0.jpg | 013564_1.jpg | ...]
│ │ ├── agnostic_masks
│ │ │ ├── [013563_0.png| 013564_0.png | ...]
...
```
### 2. Inference on VTIONHD/DressCode
To run the inference on the DressCode or VITON-HD dataset, run the following command, checkpoints will be automatically downloaded from HuggingFace.
```PowerShell
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python inference.py \
--dataset [dresscode | vitonhd] \
--data_root_path \
--output_dir
--dataloader_num_workers 8 \
--batch_size 8 \
--seed 555 \
--mixed_precision [no | fp16 | bf16] \
--allow_tf32 \
--repaint \
--eval_pair
```
### 3. Calculate Metrics
After obtaining the inference results, calculate the metrics using the following command:
```PowerShell
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python eval.py \
--gt_folder \
--pred_folder \
--paired \
--batch_size=16 \
--num_workers=16
```
- `--gt_folder` and `--pred_folder` should be folders that contain **only images**.
- To evaluate the results in a paired setting, use `--paired`; for an unpaired setting, simply omit it.
- `--batch_size` and `--num_workers` should be adjusted based on your machine.
## Acknowledgement
Our code is modified based on [Diffusers](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers). We adopt [Stable Diffusion v1.5 inpainting](https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-inpainting) as the base model. We use [SCHP](https://github.com/GoGoDuck912/Self-Correction-Human-Parsing/tree/master) and [DensePose](https://github.com/facebookresearch/DensePose) to automatically generate masks in our [Gradio](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio) App and [ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI) workflow. Thanks to all the contributors!
