Image Search

Overview

This is a simple image search application built using Clip and Milvus. The application allows users to search for images based on their descriptions or an image and retrieve similar images from a dataset.

Usage

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. [Just the first time] Build the vector database by your images: Put your images in ./photos or where ever you want. (you can change the path in build_database.py and app.py) Then run:

python build_database.py

This may take a while based on the number of images.

4. Run the application:

streamlit run app.py  --server.port 8000

Then you can access the application at http://localhost:8000. The application has two main functionalities:

1. Search by image: Upload an image and get similar images from the database.
2. Search by description: Enter a description and get similar images from the database.
