How to Use Florence-2-large-PromptGen v1.5 for Advanced Image Captioning

Oct 28, 2024 | Educational

Welcome to the guide on using the latest version of Florence-2-large-PromptGen, the advanced image captioning tool trained specifically for keen-eyed developers and AI enthusiasts. In this post, we’ll explore how to leverage its unique features for optimal tagging results, making it a breeze to integrate into your projects. Whether it’s creating precise captions or generating detailed tags, we’ve got you covered!

What’s New in Version 1.5?

The Florence-2-large-PromptGen v1.5 introduces two robust caption instructions: GENERATE_TAGS and MIXED_CAPTION. This release emphasizes improved accuracy, thanks to a new training dataset which eliminates reliance on Civitai Data, solving prior issues with lora trigger words and inaccurate tags.

Understanding the Core Features

Imagine Florence-2-large-PromptGen as a skilled artist capable of understanding the nuances of an image beyond what the eye can see. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Detailed Image Descriptions: The MORE_DETAILED_CAPTION instruction allows the model to produce thorough descriptions, akin to an artist painstakingly detailing every aspect of their masterpiece.
  • Structured Captions: The DETAILED_CAPTION instruction offers a blueprint of the image, identifying subjects and their positions, similar to how an architect lays out a building plan.
  • Memory Efficiency: The model is lightweight, consuming just above 1G of VRAM, making it as nimble as a small boat navigating through calm waters while still delivering high-quality results.
  • Integrated Captions for Flux Models: The new Flux CLIP Text Encode node merges functionalities, eliminating the need for dual tagging tools, just like having a multi-tool instead of carrying a toolbox.

How to Get Started with Florence-2-large-PromptGen v1.5

Here’s a straightforward approach to implementing this model:

# Load the required libraries
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor
import requests
from PIL import Image
import torch

# Load the model and processor from Hugging Face Model Hub
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MiaoshouAI/Florence-2-large-PromptGen-v1.5", trust_remote_code=True)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("MiaoshouAI/Florence-2-large-PromptGen-v1.5", trust_remote_code=True)

# Setting the instruction prompt
prompt = "MORE_DETAILED_CAPTION"
url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers/tasks/car.jpg?download=true"
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)

# Processing the input
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors="pt").to(device)

# Generating captions
generated_ids = model.generate(
    input_ids=inputs["input_ids"],
    pixel_values=inputs["pixel_values"],
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    do_sample=False,
    num_beams=3
)

# Decoding and printing the generated text
generated_text = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=False)[0]
parsed_answer = processor.post_process_generation(generated_text, task=prompt, image_size=(image.width, image.height))
print(parsed_answer)

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while implementing the model, here are some suggestions:

  • Slow Performance: If the model runs slow, ensure that your hardware meets the minimum requirements, particularly VRAM.
  • Errors Loading the Model: Check that your internet connection is stable and ensure that you’ve correctly specified the model path.
  • Inaccurate Captions: If your captions don’t match expectations, consider reviewing the training dataset and ensure it aligns with your image types.
