image captioning

Image captioning is the process of using artificial intelligence to generate descriptive sentences for images. It involves two main steps: understanding the content of the image—such as objects, actions, and scene context—and then translating that understanding into a coherent written description. Advanced models combine computer vision techniques to interpret images with natural language processing to produce accurate, meaningful captions. This technology has applications in accessibility, enabling visually impaired individuals to understand images, as well as in organizing and searching large image databases efficiently.
