Image captions

By default, the loader utilizes the pre-trained Salesforce BLIP image captioning model.

This notebook shows how to use the ImageCaptionLoader to generate a query-able index of image captions

%pip install --upgrade --quiet  transformers
from langchain_community.document_loaders import ImageCaptionLoader

Prepare a list of image urls from Wikimedia​

list_image_urls = [

Create the loader​

loader = ImageCaptionLoader(path_images=list_image_urls)
list_docs = loader.load()
list_docs
import requests
from PIL import Image

Image.open(requests.get(list_image_urls[0], stream=True).raw).convert("RGB")

Create the index​

from langchain.indexes import VectorstoreIndexCreator

index = VectorstoreIndexCreator().from_loaders([loader])

Query​

query = "What's the painting about?"
index.query(query)
query = "What kind of images are there?"
index.query(query)
