DeepImageSearch is a powerful Python library that combines state-of-the-art computer vision models for feature extraction with highly optimized algorithms for indexing and searching. This enables fast and accurate similarity search and clustering of dense vectors, allowing users to build scalable image search systems capable of handling large-scale datasets. The library offers seamless integration with Python and provides GPU support for accelerated processing, delivering a comprehensive solution for researchers and developers working on image-based search and retrieval applications. By incorporating the Vision Transformer (ViT) model, DeepImageSearch further enhances its capabilities in identifying and understanding complex image patterns, making it an essential tool for advanced image search and analysis tasks.

• You can now load more than 500+ pre-trained state-of-the-art computer vision models available on timm.
• Faster Search using FAISS (Facebook AI Similarity Search).
• Highly Accurate Output Results.
• GPU & CPU based indexing and Searching Support.
• Best for implementing on Python-based web applications or APIs.
• Applications include image-based e-commerce recommendations, social media, and other image-based platforms that want to implement image recommendations and search.

This library is compatible with both windows and Linux system you can just use PIP command to install this library on your system:

pip install DeepImageSearch --upgrade

If you're using a GPU, first uninstall the faiss_cpu version and then try installing the faiss_gpu version. The library installs the CPU version by default because not all systems support GPUs.

We have provided the Demo folder under the GitHub repository, you can find the example in both .py and .ipynb file. Following are the ideal flow of the code:

from DeepImageSearch import Load_Data, Search_Setup

# Load images from a folder
image_list = Load_Data().from_folder(['folder_path'])

 # Set up the search engine, You can load 'vit_base_patch16_224_in21k', 'resnet50' etc more then 500+ models 
 st = Search_Setup(image_list=image_list, model_name='vgg19', pretrained=True, image_count=100)

# Index the images
st.run_index()

# Get metadata
metadata = st.get_image_metadata_file()

# Add new images to the index
st.add_images_to_index(['image_path_1', 'image_path_2'])

# Get similar images
st.get_similar_images(image_path='image_path', number_of_images=10)

# Plot similar images
st.plot_similar_images(image_path='image_path', number_of_images=9)

# Update metadata
metadata = st.get_image_metadata_file()

This code demonstrates how to load images, set up the search engine, index the images, add new images to the index, and retrieve similar images.

Note: Some models may not work properly due to resizing and normalization issues. By default, I have chosen a size of 224x244. Please try to select models that support this size or resized inputs. I have already tested many models, but testing over 500 is beyond my scope.
