image2vec

Building applications on top of Image Embeddings. Recommendation Engine, Image similarity.

1. Recommendation engine Demo
   

2. Image similarity Demo
   

This project converts product images into embeddings using the Inception V3 model pretrained with ImageNet. Any type of images can be used, not only from products.

Once we have good embeddings, then we have accurate similarities between images. That's why created 2 demos: A recommendation engine, and a Image similarity search. Both demos are created using streamlit.

Requirements

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Use

• Download any dataset of images to use

Change 'config.py'

• Change the 'DATABASE_PATH' variable from 'config.py' to the path of your dataset of images.
• Change the 'N_IMG' variable to the number of images you want to embed from your dataset.
• Set 'DO_KPCA' to True if you want to perform Kernel PCA dimensionality reduction on the last hidden layer from Inception V3 model.
