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

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
