    """
    Pipeline for Intrinsic Image Decomposition (IID) using the Marigold method:
    https://marigoldcomputervision.github.io.

    This model inherits from [`DiffusionPipeline`]. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
    library implements for all the pipelines (such as downloading or saving, running on a particular device, etc.)

    Args:
        unet (`UNet2DConditionModel`):
            Conditional U-Net to denoise the targets latent, conditioned on image latent.
        vae (`AutoencoderKL`):
            Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) Model to encode and decode images and predictions to and from latent
            representations.
        scheduler (`DDIMScheduler` or `LCMScheduler`):
            A scheduler to be used in combination with `unet` to denoise the encoded image latents.
        text_encoder (`CLIPTextModel`):
            Text-encoder, for empty text embedding.
        tokenizer (`CLIPTokenizer`):
            CLIP tokenizer.
        prediction_type (`str`, *optional*):
            Type of predictions made by the model.
        target_properties (`Dict[str, Any]`, *optional*):
            Properties of the predicted modalities, such as `target_names`, a `List[str]` used to define the number,
            order and names of the predicted modalities, and any other metadata that may be required to interpret the
            predictions.
        default_denoising_steps (`int`, *optional*):
            The minimum number of denoising diffusion steps that are required to produce a prediction of reasonable
            quality with the given model. This value must be set in the model config. When the pipeline is called
            without explicitly setting `num_inference_steps`, the default value is used. This is required to ensure
            reasonable results with various model flavors compatible with the pipeline, such as those relying on very
            short denoising schedules (`LCMScheduler`) and those with full diffusion schedules (`DDIMScheduler`).
        default_processing_resolution (`int`, *optional*):
            The recommended value of the `processing_resolution` parameter of the pipeline. This value must be set in
            the model config. When the pipeline is called without explicitly setting `processing_resolution`, the
            default value is used. This is required to ensure reasonable results with various model flavors trained
            with varying optimal processing resolution values.

                `List[torch.Tensor]`: An input image or images used as an input for the intrinsic decomposition task.
                For arrays and tensors, the expected value range is between `[0, 1]`. Passing a batch of images is
                possible by providing a four-dimensional array or a tensor. Additionally, a list of images of two- or
                three-dimensional arrays or tensors can be passed. In the latter case, all list elements must have the
                same width and height.
            num_inference_steps (`int`, *optional*, defaults to `None`):
                Number of denoising diffusion steps during inference. The default value `None` results in automatic
                selection.
            ensemble_size (`int`, defaults to `1`):
                Number of ensemble predictions. Higher values result in measurable improvements and visual degradation.
            processing_resolution (`int`, *optional*, defaults to `None`):
                Effective processing resolution. When set to `0`, matches the larger input image dimension. This
                produces crisper predictions, but may also lead to the overall loss of global context. The default
                value `None` resolves to the optimal value from the model config.
            match_input_resolution (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
                When enabled, the output prediction is resized to match the input dimensions. When disabled, the longer
                side of the output will equal to `processing_resolution`.
            resample_method_input (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"bilinear"`):
                Resampling method used to resize input images to `processing_resolution`. The accepted values are:
                `"nearest"`, `"nearest-exact"`, `"bilinear"`, `"bicubic"`, or `"area"`.
            resample_method_output (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"bilinear"`):
                Resampling method used to resize output predictions to match the input resolution. The accepted values
                are `"nearest"`, `"nearest-exact"`, `"bilinear"`, `"bicubic"`, or `"area"`.
            batch_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to `1`):
                Batch size; only matters when setting `ensemble_size` or passing a tensor of images.
            ensembling_kwargs (`dict`, *optional*, defaults to `None`)
                Extra dictionary with arguments for precise ensembling control. The following options are available:
                - reduction (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"median"`): Defines the ensembling function applied in
                  every pixel location, can be either `"median"` or `"mean"`.
            latents (`torch.Tensor`, *optional*, defaults to `None`):
                Latent noise tensors to replace the random initialization. These can be taken from the previous
                function call's output.
            generator (`torch.Generator`, or `List[torch.Generator]`, *optional*, defaults to `None`):
                Random number generator object to ensure reproducibility.
            output_type (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `"np"`):
