Recognize Anything & Tag2Text

Model card for Recognize Anything: A Strong Image Tagging Model and Tag2Text: Guiding Vision-Language Model via Image Tagging.

Recognition and localization are two foundation computer vision tasks.

• The Segment Anything Model (SAM) excels in localization capabilities, while it falls short when it comes to recognition tasks.
• The Recognize Anything Model (RAM) and Tag2Text exhibits exceptional recognition abilities, in terms of both accuracy and scope.

• Pull figure from recognize-anything official repo

TL;DR

Authors from the paper write in the abstract:

We present the Recognize Anything Model~(RAM): a strong foundation model for image tagging. RAM makes a substantial step for large models in computer vision, demonstrating the zero-shot ability to recognize any common category with high accuracy. By leveraging large-scale image-text pairs for training instead of manual annotations, RAM introduces a new paradigm for image tagging. We evaluate the tagging capability of RAM on numerous benchmarks and observe an impressive zero-shot performance, which significantly outperforms CLIP and BLIP. Remarkably, RAM even surpasses fully supervised models and exhibits a competitive performance compared with the Google tagging API.
