I accidentally built a meme search engine
I built a magical meme search engine using siglip/CLIP and vector encoding images. It was a fun way to learn about this powerful technology. I'm sharing the code so you can build your own and discover forgotten gems in your photo library. Let's unleash the power of AI on our images!
OpenCLIP- OpenCLIP is an open-source implementation of OpenAI’s CLIP model, allowing anyone to use and build upon this powerful image and text encoding technology without the need for special access or permissions. ChromaDB- ChromaDB is a database that stores and retrieves your image and text vectors, quickly returning similar results for your searches. If you have ever lost your real photo library (corrupt harddrive, or whatever) and you still have the lrpreview file - this script can help you extract at least the lower res version.
