# Ming-Image-0.1-Design-Layer

Ming-Image-0.1-Design-Layer decomposes a flattened design image into a
requested number of RGBA layers using an image and a layer plan.

## Quick Start

Use the companion [Ming-Image repository](https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-Image)
for installation and inference:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-Image
cd Ming-Image
pip install -r requirements.txt

python infer.py \
  --model inclusionAI/Ming-Image-0.1-Design-Layer \
  --task layer-decompose \
  --input-image assets/layer_samples/card_making_input.png \
  --prompt assets/layer_samples/card_making_prompt.txt \
  --attn-implementation flash_attention_2 \
  --resolution 1024 \
  --output-dir outputs/layers
```

This runs the released six-layer card-making example. See the full
[layer-decomposition demo](https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-Image#layer-decomposition-demo)
for the output structure and layer-count behavior.

Prompt enhancement (PE) can use `Ling-3.0-flash-VL` or `qwen3.8-27B`; see
[layer-decomposition prompt rewriting](https://github.com/inclusionAI/Ming-Image#layer-decomposition-prompt-rewriting).

## Recommended settings

- Working-resolution bucket: **1024** (recommended), or **512** for faster
  layer decomposition. The output preserves the input image's aspect ratio.
- Sampling steps: **12**.
- CFG scale: **2.0**.
- Precision: **BF16**.
- Hardware: **one CUDA GPU with 80 GiB VRAM** (validated configuration).

Provide `--input-image` plus either a detailed layer specification through
`--prompt`, or omit `--prompt` and set `--num-layers N` to create the default
request. When `--prompt` is supplied, the layer count declared in that prompt
controls the output count. The standalone outputs are saved as RGBA PNG files.

The example shows the input design, six decomposed layers, and the recomposed
result.

The gallery shows additional flattened designs, their transparent layers, and
the corresponding recomposed results.

## Performance

The table reports quantitative layer-decomposition results on the Crello test
set; lower RGB L1 and higher Alpha soft IoU are better.
