Promoting companies can use generative AI and text-to-image basis fashions to create revolutionary advert creatives and content material. On this publish, we exhibit how one can generate new photographs from present base photographs utilizing Amazon SageMaker, a completely managed service to construct, practice, and deploy ML fashions for at scale. With this answer, companies giant and small can develop new advert creatives a lot quicker and at decrease value than ever earlier than. This lets you develop new customized advert inventive content material for your corporation at low value and at a fast tempo.

Answer overview

Contemplate the next state of affairs: a world automotive firm wants new advertising and marketing materials generated for his or her new automotive design being launched and hires a inventive company that’s recognized for offering promoting options for shoppers with sturdy model fairness. The automotive producer is searching for low-cost advert creatives that show the mannequin in various places, colours, views, and views whereas sustaining the model identification of the automotive producer. With the facility of state-of-the-art methods, the inventive company can assist their buyer by utilizing generative AI fashions inside their safe AWS setting.

The answer is developed with Generative AI and Textual content-to-Picture fashions in Amazon SageMaker. SageMaker is a completely managed machine studying (ML) service that that makes it simple to construct, practice, and deploy ML fashions for any use case with totally managed infrastructure, instruments, and workflows. Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image basis mannequin from Stability AI that powers the picture technology course of. Diffusers are pre-trained fashions that use Steady Diffusion to make use of an present picture to generate new photographs based mostly on a immediate. Combining Steady Diffusion with Diffusers like ControlNet can take present brand-specific content material and develop gorgeous variations of it. Key advantages of creating the answer inside AWS together with Amazon SageMaker are:

• Privateness – Storing the info in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and utilizing SageMaker to host fashions permits you to adhere to safety finest practices inside your AWS account whereas not exposing property publicly.
• Scalability – The Steady Diffusion mannequin, when deployed as a SageMaker endpoint, brings scalability by permitting you to configure occasion sizes and variety of situations. SageMaker endpoints even have auto scaling options and are extremely out there.
• Flexibility – When creating and deploying endpoints, SageMaker gives the flexibleness to decide on GPU occasion sorts. Additionally, situations behind SageMaker endpoints may be modified with minimal effort as enterprise wants change. AWS has additionally developed {hardware} and chips utilizing AWS Inferentia2 for prime efficiency on the lowest value for generative AI inference.
• Speedy innovation – Generative AI is a quickly evolving area with new approaches, and fashions are being consistently developed and launched. Amazon SageMaker JumpStart recurrently onboards new fashions together with basis fashions.
• Finish-to-end integration – AWS permits you to combine the inventive course of with any AWS service and develop an end-to-end course of utilizing fine-grained entry management by way of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), notification by way of Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS), and postprocessing with the event-driven compute service AWS Lambda.
• Distribution – When the brand new creatives are generated, AWS permits distributing the content material throughout international channels in a number of Areas utilizing Amazon CloudFront.

For this publish, we use the next GitHub sample, which makes use of Amazon SageMaker Studio with basis fashions (Steady Diffusion), prompts, pc imaginative and prescient methods, and a SageMaker endpoint to generate new photographs from present photographs. The next diagram illustrates the answer structure.

The workflow incorporates the next steps:

1. We retailer the present content material (photographs, model types, and so forth) securely in S3 buckets.
2. Inside SageMaker Studio notebooks, the unique picture knowledge is reworked to photographs utilizing computer vision techniques, which preserves the form of the product (the automotive mannequin), removes coloration and background, and generates monotone intermediate photographs.
3. The intermediate picture acts as a management picture for Steady Diffusion with ControlNet.
4. We deploy a SageMaker endpoint with the Steady Diffusion text-to-image basis mannequin from SageMaker Jumpstart and ControlNet on a most popular GPU-based occasion measurement.
5. Prompts describing new backgrounds and automotive colours together with the intermediate monotone picture are used to invoke the SageMaker endpoint, yielding new photographs.
6. New photographs are saved in S3 buckets as they’re generated.

Deploy ControlNet on SageMaker endpoints

To deploy the mannequin to SageMaker endpoints, we should create a compressed file for every particular person method mannequin artifact together with the Steady Diffusion weights, inference script, and NVIDIA Triton config file.

Within the following code, we obtain the mannequin weights for the totally different ControlNet methods and Steady Diffusion 1.5 to the native listing as tar.gz recordsdata:

if ids =="runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5":
    snapshot_download(ids, local_dir=str(model_tar_dir), local_dir_use_symlinks=False,ignore_patterns=unwanted_files_sd)

elif ids =="lllyasviel/sd-controlnet-canny":
    snapshot_download(ids, local_dir=str(model_tar_dir), local_dir_use_symlinks=False)  

To create the mannequin pipeline, we outline an inference.py script that SageMaker real-time endpoints will use to load and host the Steady Diffusion and ControlNet tar.gz recordsdata. The next is a snippet from inference.py that reveals how the fashions are loaded and the way the Canny method is named:

controlnet = ControlNetModel.from_pretrained(
        f"{model_dir}/{control_net}",
        torch_dtype=torch.float16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32)

pipe = StableDiffusionControlNetPipeline.from_pretrained(
        f"{model_dir}/sd-v1-5",
        controlnet=controlnet,
        torch_dtype=torch.float16 if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.float32)

# Outline method operate for Canny 
picture = cv2.Canny(picture, low_threshold, high_threshold)

We deploy the SageMaker endpoint with the required occasion measurement (GPU kind) from the mannequin URI:

huggingface_model = HuggingFaceModel(
        model_data=model_s3_uri,  # path to your educated sagemaker mannequin
        function=function, # iam function with permissions to create an Endpoint  
        py_version="py39", # python model of the DLC  
        image_uri=image_uri,
)

# Deploy mannequin as SageMaker Endpoint
predictor = huggingface_model.deploy(
        initial_instance_count=1,
        instance_type="ml.p3.2xlarge",
)

Generate new photographs

Now that the endpoint is deployed on SageMaker endpoints, we are able to go in our prompts and the unique picture we need to use as our baseline.

To outline the immediate, we create a constructive immediate, p_p, for what we’re searching for within the new picture, and the unfavourable immediate, n_p, for what’s to be averted:

p_p="steel orange coloured automotive, full automotive, color photograph, open air in a nice panorama, life like, prime quality"

n_p="cropped, out of body, worst high quality, low high quality, jpeg artifacts, ugly, blurry, unhealthy anatomy, unhealthy proportions"

Lastly, we invoke our endpoint with the immediate and supply picture to generate our new picture:

request={"immediate":p_p, 
        "negative_prompt":n_p, 
        "image_uri":'s3://<bucker>/sportscar.jpeg', #present content material
        "scale": 0.5,
        "steps":20, 
        "low_threshold":100, 
        "high_threshold":200, 
        "seed": 123, 
        "output":"output"}
response=predictor.predict(request)

Completely different ControlNet methods

On this part, we evaluate the totally different ControlNet methods and their impact on the ensuing picture. We use the next unique picture to generate new content material utilizing Steady Diffusion with Management-net in Amazon SageMaker.

The next desk reveals how the method output dictates what, from the unique picture, to deal with.

Method Title	Method Sort	Method Output	Immediate	Steady Diffusion with ControlNet
canny	A monochrome picture with white edges on a black background.		steel orange coloured automotive, full automotive, color photograph, open air in a nice panorama, life like, prime quality
depth	A grayscale picture with black representing deep areas and white representing shallow areas.		steel pink coloured automotive, full automotive, color photograph, open air in nice panorama on seaside, life like, prime quality
hed	A monochrome picture with white mushy edges on a black background.		steel white coloured automotive, full automotive, color photograph, in a metropolis, at evening, life like, prime quality
scribble	A hand-drawn monochrome picture with white outlines on a black background.		steel blue coloured automotive, much like unique automotive, full automotive, color photograph, open air, breath-taking view, life like, prime quality, totally different viewpoint

Clear up

After you generate new advert creatives with generative AI, clear up any sources that gained’t be used. Delete the info in Amazon S3 and cease any SageMaker Studio pocket book situations to not incur any additional fees. If you happen to used SageMaker JumpStart to deploy Steady Diffusion as a SageMaker real-time endpoint, delete the endpoint both by way of the SageMaker console or SageMaker Studio.

Conclusion

On this publish, we used basis fashions on SageMaker to create new content material photographs from present photographs saved in Amazon S3. With these methods, advertising and marketing, commercial, and different inventive companies can use generative AI instruments to enhance their advert creatives course of.
