BLIP VS meshed-memory-transformer

I suggest trying BLIP for this. I've had really good results from that.

https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP

I built a tiny Python CLI wrapper for it to make it easier to try: https://github.com/simonw/blip-caption

You can download the source and run it yourself from here: https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP

Then there's also BLIP (Bootstrapping Language-Image Pre-training).

Or BLIP

From what I understand, what's most important to you is having a model that's already trained on something, rather than the architecture. Yolo is probably fine, as would be some of the older ones. You should be able to find a model that's been pretrained on COCO - you can look at see what classes are included. I don't know if there are other broadly trained models available that will serve your purpose. What I'd do is just run your picture through a COCO trained object detection model and see if the annotations do what you want.

Though backing up a bit, there are also image captioning models that may better do what you want to do for organizing your photos. I'm not really familiar with any - though I did come across BLIP the other day but I haven't used it: https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP

This may be a better way to get at what you want

git clone https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP.git repositories/BLIP

# Copy models as described in README cp ~/Downloads/model.ckpt . cp ~/Downloads/GFPGANv1.3.pth . # Clone other repos as mentioned in README mkdir repositories git clone https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion.git repositories/stable-diffusion git clone https://github.com/CompVis/taming-transformers.git repositories/taming-transformers git clone https://github.com/sczhou/CodeFormer.git repositories/CodeFormer git clone https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP.git repositories/BLIP export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-shell default.nix pip install torch --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113 # Also from linux instructions. Can probably be added to default.nix python webui.py

Also check img2text (basically to prompt): https://github.com/salesforce/BLIP

I could use some up-to-date models (e.g, this one: https://github.com/aimagelab/meshed-memory-transformer), but all those I looked into require pre-processing step of features/bounding-boxes generation. The problem is that I can't use an off-the shelf bounding-box extraction model as it would not perform well on the dataset I have (images are not like COCO at all). So I was wondering if there is a relatively up-to-date architecture that I can use that will not require this processing step. That is, an implementation that requires only inputs (images) and outputs (sentences).
