GroundingDINO VS CLIP

Some of the foundation/base models include: * GroundedSAM (Segment Anything Model) * DETIC * GroundingDINO

While Segment Anything can detect objects based on text prompts, that's not its strong suite. To get best results, folks usually combine it with Grounding DINO, which is a great object detection model. You run Grounding DINO with text prompt "skirt", this gives you a bounding box that you pass to Segment Anything, which gives you a segmentation mask that you can then use for inpainting with SD.

Now, let's delve into the technological aspects of this project. The combination of Facebook's Segment Anything and Grounding Dino tools will automate annotations for image processing, which is key to this AI endeavor. I'm also intrigued by Mojo, a new programming language designed specifically for AI developers, which will soon be open-source.

Right now we are trying out grouding dino on this but it is giving a lot of noise and detecting things that are not cracks.

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.
