onnx-clip 4.0.0
CLIP with ONNX Runtime and without PyTorch dependencies.
Requires Python: >=3.8,<4.0

# onnx_clip

An [ONNX](https://onnx.ai/)-based implementation of [CLIP](https://github.com/openai/CLIP) that doesn't
depend on `torch` or `torchvision`.
It also has a friendlier API than the original implementation. 

This works by
- running the text and vision encoders (the ViT-B/32 variant) in [ONNX Runtime](https://onnxruntime.ai/)
- using a pure NumPy version of the tokenizer
- using a pure NumPy+PIL version of the [preprocess function](https://github.com/openai/CLIP/blob/3702849800aa56e2223035bccd1c6ef91c704ca8/clip/clip.py#L79).
  The PIL dependency could also be removed with minimal code changes - see `preprocessor.py`.

## Installation
To install, run the following in the root of the repository:
```bash
pip install .
```

## Usage

All you need to do is call the `OnnxClip` model class. An example:

```python
from onnx_clip import OnnxClip, softmax, get_similarity_scores
from PIL import Image

images = [Image.open("onnx_clip/data/franz-kafka.jpg").convert("RGB")]
texts = ["a photo of a man", "a photo of a woman"]

# Your images/texts will get split into batches of this size before being
# passed to CLIP, to limit memory usage
onnx_model = OnnxClip(batch_size=16)

# Unlike the original CLIP, there is no need to run tokenization/preprocessing
# separately - simply run get_image_embeddings directly on PIL images/NumPy
# arrays, and run get_text_embeddings directly on strings.
image_embeddings = onnx_model.get_image_embeddings(images)
text_embeddings = onnx_model.get_text_embeddings(texts)

# To use the embeddings for zero-shot classification, you can use these two
# functions. Here we run on a single image, but any number is supported.
logits = get_similarity_scores(image_embeddings, text_embeddings)
probabilities = softmax(logits)

print("Logits:", logits)

for text, p in zip(texts, probabilities[0]):
    print(f"Probability that the image is '{text}': {p:.3f}")
```

## Building & developing from source

**Note**: The following may give timeout errors due to the filesizes. If so, this can be fixed with poetry version 1.1.13 - see [this related issue.](https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/6009)

### Install, run, build and publish with Poetry

Install [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/)
```
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python -
```

To setup the project and create a virtual environment run the following command from the project's root directory.
```
poetry install
```

To build a source and wheel distribution of the library run the following command from the project's root directory.
```
poetry build
```

#### Publishing a new version to PyPI (for project maintainers)

First, remove/move the downloaded LFS files, so that they're not packaged with the code.
Otherwise, this creates a huge `.whl` file that PyPI refuses and it causes confusing errors.

Then, follow [this guide](https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-publish-a-python-package-to-pypi-using-poetry-aa804533fc6f).
tl;dr: go to the [PyPI account page](https://pypi.org/manage/account/), generate an API token
and put it into the `$PYPI_PASSWORD` environment variable. Then run
```shell
poetry publish --build --username lakera --password $PYPI_PASSWORD
```
