CLIP VS dream-textures

We will also need two more libraries: OpenAI’s CLIP GitHub repo, enabling us to generate image features with the CLIP model, and the umap-learn library, which will let us apply a dimensionality reduction technique called Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) to those features to visualize them in 2D:

Biggest missing feature for all these self hosted photo hosting is the lack of a real search. Being able to search for things like "beach at night" is a time saver instead of browsing through hundreds or thousands of photos. There are trained neural networks out there like https://github.com/openai/CLIP which are quite good.

In computer vision, this is known as zero-shot learning, or zero-shot prediction, because the goal is to generate predictions without explicitly being given any example predictions to learn from. With the advent of high quality multimodal models like CLIP and foundation models like Segment Anything, it is now possible to generate remarkably good zero-shot predictions for a variety of computer vision tasks, including:

the first thing that comes to mind is CLIP: https://github.com/openai/CLIP

Whenever I’m working on semantic search applications that connect images and text, I start with a family of models known as contrastive language image pre-training (CLIP). These models are trained on image-text pairs to generate similar vector representations or embeddings for images and their captions, and dissimilar vectors when images are paired with other text strings. There are multiple CLIP-style models, including OpenCLIP and MetaCLIP, but for simplicity we’ll focus on the original CLIP model from OpenAI. No model is perfect, and at a fundamental level there is no right way to compare images and text, but CLIP certainly provides a good starting point.

in the modal card it says: pretrained text encoders (OpenCLIP-ViT/G and CLIP-ViT/L).

CLIP might work for your needs.

I'm a long time advanced AE user and would gladly give feedback according to how I envision a nice workflow to be if you want. I recently got into dream textures for blender, which I think is a great reference for the direction things could be heading. It's still not viable for consistent video, but I love how they expose multiple control nets and their weights to be animatable for example. I also suggested them exposed (animatable) prompt weights, which the author now also plans for future release. I see you have such things planned as well for this plugin so big thumbs up!

Yes, and it can also automatically bake the texture onto the original UV map instead of the projected UVs. The guide is here: https://github.com/carson-katri/dream-textures/wiki/Texture-Projection
