Image generation technology has always been one of the hot research directions in the field of computer vision, but to achieve high-quality image generation, it often requires installing complex software, managing huge models, or having expensive GPUs. Is there a way to easily generate images of various styles without installing, without models, and without GPUs? The answer is yes, that is Stable Diffusion WebUI. Stable Diffusion is a novel image generation method, which is highly praised for its excellent generation effect and powerful flexibility. This blog will take you to understand Stable Diffusion WebUI in depth, and explore the impact of different parameters on the generation effect, revealing its magic.

  1. Stable Diffusion Introduction and Business Scenarios

Stable Diffusion is an image generation method based on the diffusion process, which has attracted wide interest and attention in the field of computer vision. It is unique in that it gradually transforms random noise into realistic, high-quality images through multiple iterations.

The application of Stable Diffusion method is very promising. First, Stable Diffusion can generate images with fine textures, clear details and rich diversity, becoming a powerful tool for art creation, image restoration and image editing. Second, combined with deep learning models, Stable Diffusion can be used to generate realistic face images, scene reconstruction and virtual reality; it can not only generate static images, but also be applied to video generation and animation, bringing more realistic visual effects to movies, games and virtual reality experiences. Additionally, Stable Diffusion’s controllability and flexibility allows users to adjust parameters to control the level of detail, variety and speed of convergence of the resulting images, thus realizing the potential for artistic creation, design and creative expression.

In conclusion, Stable Diffusion, as an innovative image generation method, opens a new door for us to explore the image world. It has a broad application prospect, not only in the field of art with great potential, but also in the field of artificial intelligence, computer graphics and virtual reality. With the continuous development and innovation of technology, we can expect the Stable Diffusion method to play a more important and prominent role in the field of image generation.

2. Understanding Stable Diffusion Parameters

The use of different parameters generates different images, and the key parameters are explained below:

Positive Prompt

The more detailed the details describing the desired image, the closer the Stable Diffusion generation effect is to the description, and the less descriptive it is ,the more creative it is.

Negative Prompt

Unwanted content generated by Stable Diffusion, used to exclude unwanted elements.

Samplers

The algorithm acquires the generated image after each step and compares it with what is required by the textual prompts, after which it is modified until it gradually achieves an image that matches the textual description, commonly used samplers are the dpm series and euler series, which emphasize realism and artistry respectively.

Sampling Steps

The principle of Stable Diffusion Image generation is to reduce the noise from the canvas full of noise one by one, in order to achieve the final image effect. The parameter sampling step is used to control the number of denoising steps. Usually the higher the value the better, but in general we use a sampling step value of 25 is enough to generate any type of image, and more sampling steps produce results that are almost impossible to see the difference, but will be a waste of GPU resources.

CFG scale (Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance scale)

The CFG ratio can be thought of as the ratio of cue to creativity (creative vs. prompt — how well the image agrees with the cue), with lower values producing more creative results and higher values fitting the cue better.The default value for the parameter in Stable Diffusion is 7, which achieves a balanced result between cue and creativity, so we don’t usually try to Stable Diffusion has a default value of 7. It’s not usually recommended to go below 5, as this can make the image look more like an illusion; if the value is too high and your cue is not detailed enough, it won’t necessarily fit the cue, and above 16 it can start to give the image a lot of ugly artifacts.

Seed

In the sampler we mentioned noise, and the number of seeds determines the initial random noise for image generation, and from time to time the images generated when our cues are exactly the same can be very different, either because you choose different seeds, or default the seed values to random values. On the other hand, if we use the same cue word and seed, it will generate a very similar image.

3. No GPU WebUI image generation effect display under different parameters

Next, let’s take a look at the image generation effects generated by using Omniinfer’s No Gpu WebUI, an AI image generation tool, using different parameters:

  • Sampler
  • Sampling Steps
  • CFG
  • Seed

In summary, Stable Diffusion is a powerful and flexible image generation method, which can produce amazing effects under different parameters, showing its great potential in the field of computer vision. Moreover, the process of using Stable Diffusion WebUI is very simple and convenient, without installing any software, without managing any models, and without having GPUs. Just enter the image you want to generate on the web page, and you can easily get high-quality and diverse results. Stable Diffusion has some parameters that need to be adjusted, but this is also one of the future research directions. We believe that with the continuous advancement of technology, Stable Diffusion will bring us more surprises and creativity.
