Describe Any Image Using AI

🚀 Try it live on Hugging Face Spaces

This is a simple Gradio-powered app that uses a pre-trained vision-language model to describe the content of images. Upload any image and see how AI interprets the scene.

What is Image Captioning?

Image captioning is a task where a deep learning model generates a textual description of an image. It combines computer vision and natural language processing in one pipeline.

Packages

import gradio as gr
from transformers import BlipProcessor, BlipForConditionalGeneration
from PIL import Image

🤗 BlipProcessor

I used BlipProcessor which is a class from 🤗 transformers library. It is designed for Bootstrapping Language-Image Pretraining (BLIP) models. It basically combines image and text preprocessing

processor = BlipProcessor.from_pretrained("Salesforce/blip-image-captioning-base")
model = BlipForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("Salesforce/blip-image-captioning-base")

generate_caption Function

def generate_caption(image):
    if image is None:
        return "Please upload an image to generate a caption."
    inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
    out = model.generate(**inputs)
    caption = processor.decode(out[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
    return caption

Gradio Interface

iface = gr.Interface(
    fn=generate_caption, 
    inputs=gr.Image(type="pil", label="Upload Image"), 
    outputs="text", 
    live=True,
    title="Image Captioning App",
    description="Upload an image and get a description of what the image contains.",
    allow_flagging="never"
)

iface.launch()
