PROJECT METHODOLOGY
The objective of this project is to develop an Image Caption Generator using deep learning
techniques. The system generates captions for images by combining computer vision and
natural language processing (NLP).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project uses Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for feature extraction from
images and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for language modeling. The
integration of these models creates a robust system for generating image captions.
Key Features:
Facilitates Scalability: Adapt to different scales, from small user groups to large
databases, without significant loss in performance.

IMPLEMENTATION
Libraries Used:
Key Functions:
1. Image Preprocessing: Resizes and normalizes input images.
2. Feature Extraction: Extracts features using CNN models.
3. Caption Tokenization: Converts captions to token sequences.
4. Caption Generation: Uses LSTM for prediction.
Code:
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras.applications import InceptionV3
from tensorflow.keras.models import Model
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Input, LSTM, Embedding, Dense
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import load_img, img_to_array
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def preprocess_image(image_path):
image = load_img(image_path, target_size=(299, 299))
image = img_to_array(image)
image = np.expand_dims(image, axis=0)
image /= 127.5
image -= 1.0
return image
def extract_features(image_path):
image = preprocess_image(image_path)
features = model.predict(image)
return features
image_input = Input(shape=(2048,))
image_dense = Dense(embedding_dim, activation='relu')(image_input)
caption_input = Input(shape=(max_length,))
caption_embedding = Embedding(vocab_size, embedding_dim,
mask_zero=True)(caption_input)
lstm_out = LSTM(256)(caption_embedding)

PROJECT OUTCOMES
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Model Fine-Tuning:
o Transfer learning techniques were used to enhance the model’s accuracy by
fine-tuning pre-trained CNN layers on domain-specific datasets.
2. Dataset Used:
o The MS-COCO dataset was used for training, which contains over 330,000
images and captions. Additional datasets like Flickr8k and Flickr30k were
also experimented with for comparison.
3. Challenges Faced:
o Managing large datasets and ensuring optimal GPU utilization.
o Handling ambiguous images where multiple captions could be equally
valid.
4. Future Improvements:
o Incorporating attention mechanisms for more contextually accurate
captions.
o Extending support for multilingual captions.
Example 1:
Example 2:
FUTURE APPLICATIONS
1. Healthcare:
o Assisting visually impaired individuals by generating spoken captions for
images in real-time.
2. E-commerce:
o Automating product description generation for large-scale online
marketplaces.
3. Education:
o Creating AI-powered tools for teaching image recognition and language
generation concepts.
