What is vit-gpt2-image-captioning?
This model is a sophisticated image captioning solution that combines Vision Transformer (ViT) for image processing with GPT-2 for text generation. Originally trained using Flax and converted to PyTorch, it represents a state-of-the-art approach to generating natural language descriptions of images.
Implementation Details
The model utilizes a vision encoder-decoder architecture where ViT processes the image input and GPT-2 generates the corresponding textual description. It supports batch processing and implements beam search for optimal caption generation.
- Supports RGB image input with automatic conversion
- Implements beam search with configurable parameters
- Maximum caption length: 16 tokens
- Number of beams: 4
Core Capabilities
- Automated image caption generation
- Batch processing of multiple images
- Cross-modal understanding between vision and language
- Integration with Hugging Face's transformers pipeline
