Image 2 Vec with PyTorch

Medium post on building the first version from scratch: https://becominghuman.ai/extract-a-feature-vector-for-any-image-with-pytorch-9717561d1d4c

Applications of image embeddings:

• Ranking for recommender systems
• Clustering images to different categories
• Classification tasks
• Image compression

Available models

Installation

Tested on Python 3.6 and torchvision 0.11.0 (nightly, 2021-09-25)

Requires Pytorch: http://pytorch.org/

conda install -c pytorch-nightly torchvision

pip install img2vec_pytorch

Run test

python -m img2vec_pytorch.test_img_to_vec

Using img2vec as a library

from img2vec_pytorch import Img2Vec
from PIL import Image

# Initialize Img2Vec with GPU
img2vec = Img2Vec(cuda=True)

# Read in an image (rgb format)
img = Image.open('test.jpg')
# Get a vector from img2vec, returned as a torch FloatTensor
vec = img2vec.get_vec(img, tensor=True)
# Or submit a list
vectors = img2vec.get_vec(list_of_PIL_images)

For running the example, you will additionally need:

• Pillow: pip install Pillow
• Sklearn pip install scikit-learn

Running the example

git clone https://github.com/christiansafka/img2vec.git

cd img2vec/example

python test_img_similarity.py

Which filename would you like similarities for?
face2.jpg
0.668525 face.jpg
0.516689 cat.jpg
0.50084 cat2.jpg

Img2Vec Params

cuda = (True, False)   # Run on GPU?     default: False<br> model = ('resnet-18', 'efficientnet_b0', etc.)   # Which model to use?     default: 'resnet-18'<br>

Advanced users

Read only file systems

If you use this library from the app running in read only environment (for example, docker container), specify writable directory where app can store pre-trained models.

export TORCH_HOME=/tmp/torch
