OpenAI&#8217;s CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining) is one such model that can perform various visual tasks. It combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on a large dataset of images with a transformer-based language model trained on a large dataset of text.<\/p>\n<p>In this tutorial, we will learn how to create an image classifier using OpenAI CLIP and Python. We will walk through the process of installing the necessary libraries, loading the CLIP model, preprocessing images, and finally using the model to classify images.<\/p>\n<h2>Prerequisites<\/h2>\n<p>To follow along with this tutorial, you will need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Python installed on your machine (version 3.6 or higher)<\/li>\n<li>Familiarity with Python programming language, including basic knowledge of libraries such as <code>numpy<\/code> and <code>PIL<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Basic understanding of deep learning concepts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 1: Install Dependencies<\/h2>\n<p>To get started, open your terminal and create a new Python environment (optional but recommended). Then, install the required dependencies by running the following command:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-shell\">pip install torch torchvision pillow\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 2: Import Libraries<\/h2>\n<p>In this step, we will import the necessary libraries for our project. We will be using <code>torch<\/code> for the deep learning framework, <code>PIL<\/code> for image preprocessing, and <code>numpy<\/code> for various array operations. Additionally, we will import the <code>clip<\/code> module from the <code>torchvision<\/code> library, which provides the pre-trained CLIP model.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-python\">import torch\nfrom PIL import Image\nimport torchvision.transforms as transforms\nimport numpy as np\nfrom torchvision.models import clip\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 3: Load the CLIP Model<\/h2>\n<p>Next, we need to load the pre-trained CLIP model. OpenAI has provided several variations of the model, each trained on different amounts of data. For this tutorial, we will use the <code>ViT-B\/32<\/code> variant, which performs well on various tasks.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-python\">device = \"cuda\" if torch.cuda.is_available() else \"cpu\"\nmodel, preprocess = clip.load(\"ViT-B\/32\", device=device)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>We check if a GPU is available and set the <code>device<\/code> accordingly. Then, we load the <code>ViT-B\/32<\/code> variant of the model along with the corresponding <code>preprocess<\/code> function. The <code>preprocess<\/code> function performs image preprocessing and normalization required by the CLIP model.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: Preprocess Images<\/h2>\n<p>Before we can classify images, we need to preprocess them using the <code>preprocess<\/code> function we loaded in the previous step. The function takes a PIL image and returns a tensor suitable for input to the CLIP model.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-python\">def preprocess_image(image_path):\n    image = Image.open(image_path).convert(\"RGB\")\n    image = preprocess(image).unsqueeze(0).to(device)\n    return image\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>The <code>preprocess_image<\/code> function takes the path to an image file as input. We open the image file using <code>PIL<\/code>, convert it to RGB color space, preprocess it using the <code>preprocess<\/code> function, and finally convert it to a tensor. The tensor is then unsqueezed to add an extra dimension and moved to the device (CPU or GPU) we specified earlier.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Classify Images<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have a function to preprocess images, we can define a function to classify them using the CLIP model.<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-python\">def classify_image(image_path):\n    image = preprocess_image(image_path)\n    with torch.no_grad():\n        image_features = model.encode_image(image)\n        text_features = model.encode_text(clip.tokenize([\"a photo of a dog\"]))\n        similarity = (100.0 * image_features @ text_features.T).softmax(dim=-1)\n    return similarity\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In the <code>classify_image<\/code> function, we first preprocess the image using the <code>preprocess_image<\/code> function defined earlier. We then encode the image and a descriptive text as features using the <code>encode_image<\/code> and <code>encode_text<\/code> functions of the CLIP model, respectively. Finally, we compute the similarity between the image and the text by performing matrix multiplication followed by softmax normalization.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth mentioning that the <code>encode_text<\/code> function expects a tensor of token IDs as input. We use the <code>clip.tokenize<\/code> function to convert the text into a tensor of token IDs.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 6: Test the Classifier<\/h2>\n<p>To test our image classifier, let&#8217;s classify a sample image. Create a new Python file, and add the following code:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-python\">image_path = \"path\/to\/your\/image.jpg\"\nsimilarity = classify_image(image_path)\nprint(similarity)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Replace <code>\"path\/to\/your\/image.jpg\"<\/code> with the path to an image you want to classify. Run the Python file, and you should see a similarity score printed on the console.<\/p>\n<p>The similarity score represents the model&#8217;s confidence in the image being similar to the provided text. Higher scores indicate higher similarity.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In this tutorial, we learned how to create an image classifier using OpenAI&#8217;s CLIP model and Python. We installed the necessary dependencies, loaded the pre-trained CLIP model, preprocessed images, and used the model to classify images.<\/p>\n<p>CLIP is a powerful model that can be used for various visual tasks, such as image recognition, image generation, and more. With its ability to understand both images and text, it opens up new possibilities for creative applications.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to explore the CLIP model further and experiment with different variations to achieve better results.
