Image-based virtual try-on enables users to virtually try on different garments by altering original clothes in their photographs. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) dominate the research field in image-based virtual try-on, but have not resolved problems such as unnatural deformation of garments and the blurry generation quality. Recently, diffusion models have emerged with surprising performance across various image generation tasks. While the generative quality of diffusion models is impressive, achieving controllability poses a significant challenge when applying it to virtual try-on tasks and multiple denoising iterations limit its potential for real-time applications. In this paper, we propose Controllable Accelerated virtual Try-on with Diffusion Model called CAT-DM. To enhance the controllability, a basic diffusion-based virtual try-on network is designed, which utilizes ControlNet to introduce additional control conditions and improves the feature extraction of garment images. In terms of acceleration, CAT-DM initiates a reverse denoising process with an implicit distribution generated by a pre-trained GAN-based model. Compared with previous try-on methods based on diffusion models, CAT-DM not only retains the pattern and texture details of the in-shop garment but also reduces the sampling steps without compromising generation quality. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of CAT-DM against both GAN-based and diffusion-based methods in producing more realistic images and accurately reproducing garment patterns.

Our experiments were conducted on two NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards, with a single RTX 4090 having 24GB of video memory. Please note that our model cannot be trained on graphics cards with less video memory than the RTX 4090.

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/zengjianhao/CAT-DM

2. A suitable conda environment named CAT-DM can be created and activated with:

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate CAT-DM

• If you want to change the name of the environment you created, you need to modify the name in both environment.yaml and setup.py.
• You need to make sure that conda is installed on your computer.
• If there is a network error, try updating the environment using conda env update -f environment.yaml.

3. Installing xFormers：

git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers.git
cd xformers
git submodule update --init --recursive
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -U xformers
cd ..
rm -rf xformers

4. open src/taming-transformers/taming/data/utils.py, delete from torch._six import string_classes, and change elif isinstance(elem, string_classes): to elif isinstance(elem, str):
