I would like to create an image search app using python, where I can input an image itself for searching. How can I go about doing that. What embedding API I need to use ?
Hi @suman17july, and welcome to the Pinecone community forums!
Thank you for your question.
While we don’t yet have a pure Python example of this, we do have a complete example application here which is open-source and demonstrates how to do image-based search as you’re requesting.
If you look at the animated demo at the bottom of the project README ^ you’ll see how the image to image search works.
The model we used for this is the CLIP model, as we explain here.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Zack
