🖼️ Image Summary Generator

A deep learning model that generates text summaries from images using the BLIP model.

⚙️ Setup & Installation

Step 1 — Create a virtual environment (recommended)

python -m venv venv

# Windows
venv\Scripts\activate

# Mac/Linux
source venv/bin/activate

Step 2 — Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

⚠️ First install will download PyTorch (~1-2 GB). Be patient!

Step 3 — Run the app

python app.py

Step 4 — Open in browser

http://localhost:5000

🧠 How It Works

1. You upload an image (or paste a URL)
2. The BLIP model (Salesforce/blip-image-captioning-large) processes it
3. It uses a Vision Transformer to encode visual features
4. A language decoder generates the summary text
5. Beam search is used for high-quality output

🔧 Test the Model Directly (Without Web UI)

python model.py

Or in Python:

from model import ImageSummaryGenerator
from PIL import Image

generator = ImageSummaryGenerator()
image = Image.open("your_image.jpg")
summary = generator.generate_summary(image)
print(summary)

💡 Tips

• GPU (CUDA) will make it much faster — CPU works but is slower
• The model auto-downloads on first run (~1.8 GB)
• You can change max_length and num_beams in model.py to control output quality vs speed

---

🚀 Upgrade Ideas

• Use BLIP-2 for even better summaries
• Add batch processing for multiple images
• Export summaries to PDF/CSV
• Add image OCR (text extraction) alongside summary
