Hugging Face Demo

Try out our BLIP-based captioning model trained using FuseCap quickly with this Python snippet. This code demonstrates how to use the model to generate captions for an image:

import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import BlipProcessor, BlipForConditionalGeneration
import torch

device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')
processor = BlipProcessor.from_pretrained("noamrot/FuseCap")
model = BlipForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("noamrot/FuseCap").to(device)

img_url = 'https://huggingface.co/spaces/noamrot/FuseCap/resolve/main/bike.jpg' 
raw_image = Image.open(requests.get(img_url, stream=True).raw).convert('RGB')

text = "a picture of "
inputs = processor(raw_image, text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)

out = model.generate(**inputs, num_beams = 3)
print(processor.decode(out[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Datasets

We provide the fused captions that were created using the FuseCap framework. These captions were used for both pretraining and training phases of our image captioning model. The images can downloaded from the respective dataset websites or the provided urls (SBU, CC3, CC12).
