OmniSVG/OmniSVG1.1_4B

OmniSVG: A Unified Scalable Vector Graphics Generation Model

              

1. Introduction

OmniSVG is the first family of end-to-end multimodal SVG generators that leverage pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs), capable of generating complex and detailed SVGs, from simple icons to intricate anime characters. We also introduce MMSVG-2M, a multimodal dataset with two million richly annotated SVG assets, along with a standardized evaluation protocol for conditional SVG generation tasks.

3. Dependencies and Installation

The dependencies configured according to the following instructions provide an environment equipped for inference

3.1 Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/OmniSVG/OmniSVG.git
cd OmniSVG

3.2 Create Conda Environment

Create and activate a new conda environment with Python 3.10:

conda create -n omnisvg python=3.10
conda activate omnisvg

3.3 Install Dependencies

System Dependencies

Before installing Python packages, you need to install Cairo library which is required by CairoSVG in our dependencies:

macOS:

brew install cairo

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libcairo2 libcairo2-dev

Note: Installing Cairo system library beforehand helps prevent potential build errors when installing CairoSVG via pip.

Python Dependencies

We have tested our environment with CUDA 12.1. You can install CUDA 12.1 by following the CUDA Toolkit installation guide.

Install PyTorch with CUDA 12.1 support:

pip install torch==2.3.0+cu121 torchvision==0.18.0+cu121 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

Install remaining dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Inference Script

Note: The inference time shown here is measured per OmniSVG SVG tokens, while the inference time reported in our paper is measured per XML code tokens for fair comparison with baseline methods.

Quick Start

Download Model Weights

First, install the Hugging Face CLI tool:

pip install huggingface-hub

Download the model from Hugging Face:

# Download OmniSVG1.1-8B
huggingface-cli download OmniSVG/OmniSVG1.1_8B --local-dir /PATH/TO/OmniSVG1.1_8B

# Download OmniSVG1.1-4B
huggingface-cli download OmniSVG/OmniSVG1.1_4B --local-dir /PATH/TO/OmniSVG1.1_4B

# Download OmniSVG-3B (legacy)
huggingface-cli download OmniSVG/OmniSVG --local-dir /PATH/TO/OmniSVG-3B

Text-to-SVG Generation

Basic usage - Generate SVG from txt file:

python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text --save-all-candidates

Use 4B model:

python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text --model-size 4B --save-all-candidates

Generate more candidates and save PNG:

python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text \
    --num-candidates 8 --save-png --save-all-candidates

Custom generation parameters:

python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text \
    --temperature 0.5 --top-p 0.9 --top-k 50 --repetition-penalty 1.05

Use local model:

python inference.py --task text-to-svg --input prompts.txt --output ./output_text \
    --model-path /path/to/qwen --weight-path /path/to/omnisvg

Image-to-SVG Generation

python inference.py --task image-to-svg --input ./examples --output ./output_image --save-all-candidates

Interactive Demo

Acknowledgments

We thank the following excellent open-source works:

IconShop: is the first advanced work that leverages LLMs to generate monochrome, icon-level SVGs. We referred to its parametric implementation.

Here is the list of highly related concurrent works:

LLM4SVG: treats SVG coordinates as number strings and predicts decimal part for higher spatial accuracy.

StarVector: equips LLM with an image encoder for Image-to-SVG generation.
