NeDS Model Card (RSE 2025)

This repository hosts a NeDS (Neural disaster simulation for transferable building damage assessment) checkpoint trained on xView2 tier3 with 512x512 crops.

Default: follow the official implementation

For the primary and recommended workflow, follow the official NeDS codebase:

  • Official repo: https://github.com/Z-Zheng/pytorch-change-models
  • NeDS model source there: torchange/models/neds.py

If you are reproducing paper behavior or training/evaluation procedures, use the official repository first.

Extra in this repo: Diffusers quick start

In addition to the official path, this folder provides a self-contained Diffusers demo that does not require importing pytorch-change-models.

Included files:

  • neds_diffusers.py: custom NeDS + NeDSPipeline for Diffusers
  • infer_neds.py: end-to-end inference script
  • converted controlnet checkpoints:
    • nds_v1_tier3_512_diffusers_bf16
    • nds_v1_tier3_512_diffusers_fp32

The demo loads through native Diffusers DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(...) with custom_pipeline.

Quick start (DiffusionPipeline demo)

import torch
from pathlib import Path
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
from neds_diffusers import NeDS

dtype = torch.bfloat16
controlnet = NeDS.from_pretrained("./nds_v1_tier3_512_diffusers_bf16", torch_dtype=dtype)

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "sd2-community/stable-diffusion-2-1",
    custom_pipeline=str(Path("neds_diffusers.py").resolve()),
    controlnet=controlnet,
    torch_dtype=dtype,
    safety_checker=None,
    requires_safety_checker=False,
).to("cuda")

# See infer_neds.py for complete preprocessing and call arguments.
