The Florence-2-base-PromptGen v1.5 is a groundbreaking advancement in image captioning that enhances the accuracy and efficiency of your tagging experience. This guide will walk you through how to use this model effectively and troubleshoot any issues you encounter along the way.

What Is Florence-2-base-PromptGen?

Florence-2-base-PromptGen is specifically designed for MiaoshouAI Tagger for ComfyUI. Built upon the well-defined Microsoft Florence-2 Model Base, it streamlines the process of generating detailed, accurate image captions while eliminating reliance on outdated datasets.

Why Choose This Tagging Model?

Most traditional vision models overlook the intricacies of detailed captioning and specific tagging needs. Florence-2-base-PromptGen addresses this gap directly by improving tagging accuracy and user experience through its fine-tuning process.

Key Features

• Highly detailed image description using the MORE_DETAILED_CAPTION instruction.
• Structured captions with subject positioning when using DETAILED_CAPTION.
• Memory-efficient, requiring just over 1GB of VRAM while delivering quality results.
• Designed to work seamlessly with both T5XXL and CLIP models, maximizing efficiency in image captioning.

Instructions for Using the Model

To get started, load the model from the Hugging Face Model Hub with the following Python code:

python
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    'MiaoshouAI/Florence-2-base-PromptGen-v1.5', 
    trust_remote_code=True
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    'MiaoshouAI/Florence-2-base-PromptGen-v1.5', 
    trust_remote_code=True
)
prompt = 'MORE_DETAILED_CAPTION'
url = 'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transforms/tasks/car.jpg?download=true'
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
inputs = processor(text=prompt, images=image, return_tensors='pt').to(device)
generated_ids = model.generate(
    input_ids=inputs['input_ids'],
    pixel_values=inputs['pixel_values'],
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    do_sample=False,
    num_beams=3
)
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)

Analogy for Understanding the Code

Imagine you’re a chef in a restaurant. You don’t just throw ingredients together — you have a specific order to follow. In the above code, think of the model as your recipe. You begin by gathering your ingredients (loading the model and processor) and deciding on your dish (prompting for a MORE_DETAILED_CAPTION). Then you have a specific order from a customer (the URL of the image). Just like carefully measuring and mixing, you prepare inputs that the model requires to deliver a final beautifully plated dish (the generated caption). Finally, you present the dish to the customer, which in this case is printing the parsed answer.

Troubleshooting Tips

While using Florence-2-base-PromptGen, you might encounter issues. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Model Not Loading: Ensure you have an active internet connection and the URL is correctly formatted.
• Insufficient Memory: If you encounter memory issues, try reducing the batch size or free up some VRAM.
• Unexpected Outputs: Review your input images and prompts for clarity, as obscure references can lead to imprecise captions.
• If problems persist, consult the documentation on GitHub for further guidance.
