Visual Search Engine
by Community · free · Last verified 2026-03-17
This script provides a complete framework for building a multimodal visual search engine. It uses CLIP to generate image and text embeddings, which are indexed in a vector database like Qdrant or Weaviate for efficient similarity search. The system supports both text-to-image and image-to-image queries and includes a FastAPI server for API access.
