An image caption generator is a system that employs computer vision methods to comprehend the visual elements in an image and utilizes natural language processing (NLP) techniques to produce descriptive textual descriptions or captions for the images.
The function of an image caption generator can be broken down into the following steps:
- Input: The image caption generator takes an image as input.
- Image Processing: The image is processed using various computer vision techniques to extract meaningful features from the image, such as colors, shapes, objects, and textures.
- Language Model: A language model is then used to generate a textual description of the image based on the extracted features. The language model uses natural language processing (NLP) techniques to generate the text.
- Output: The final output of the image caption generator is a textual description or caption that describes the content of the image in a human-like language.
