CLIP Interrogator

Clip Interrogator AI is a web-based AI tool that analyzes images to generate descriptive text or prompts, bridging visual content and language using CLIP-based reasoning. It leverages BLIP for base captions and CLIP (and OpenCLIP variants) to enhance and match descriptions with image content, producing detailed prompts suitable for AI image generators like Stable Diffusion and MidJourney. The app highlights a flavor-driven enrichment process, enabling richer, more actionable text descriptions than BLIP alone.

How it works

1. Base Caption Generation: The BLIP model creates an initial caption describing the image.
2. Enhancement with “Flavors”: Adds specific phrases (objects, styles, artist names) to the base caption.
3. Matching with CLIP: Uses CLIP to select the most fitting phrases from the flavor set, refining the final text.
4. Application: The enriched text assists in generating prompts for AI image generators and understanding image elements in depth.

The tool emphasizes using richer textual prompts to achieve better alignment with desired styles and contents when generating images.

Models Used

• BLIP: Generates the initial basic caption to describe the image.
• CLIP: Enhances and matches the description with relevant phrases to add detail.
• OpenCLIP: Maintains CLIP functionality and supports broader matching with textual descriptions.
