Image Embedding

Image embedding through deep neural networks.
Signals
Inputs:
Images
List of images.
Outputs:
Embeddings
Images represented with a vector of numbers.
Skipped Images
List of images where embeddings were not calculated.
Description
Image Embedding reads images and uploads them to a remote server. Remote server uses a deep learning model to calculate a feature vector for each image. It returns an enhanced data table with additional columns (image descriptors).
Images can be imported with Import Images widget or as paths to images in a spreadsheet. In this case the column with images paths needs a three-row header with type=image label in the third row.
Image Embedding offers several embedders, each trained for a specific task. Images are sent to a server, where vectors representations are computed. Sent images are not stored anywhere. To use the widget, you will need internet connection.
Information on the number of embedded images and images skipped.
Settings:
Image attribute: attribute containing images you wish to embed
Embedder:
- Inception v3: Google’s Inception v3 model trained on ImageNet.
- VGG-16: 16-layer image recognition model trained on ImageNet.
- VGG-19: 19-layer image recognition model trained on ImageNet.
- Painters: A model trained to predict painters from artwork images.
- DeepLoc: A model trained to analyze yeast cell images.
Tick the box on the left to start the embedding automatically. Alternatively, click Apply. To cancel the embedding, click Cancel.

Example
Let us first import images from a folder with Import Images. We have three images of an orange, a banana and a strawberry in a folder called Fruits. From Import Images we will send a data table containing a column with image paths to Image Embedding.
We will use the default embedder Inception v3. The widget will automatically start retrieving image vectors from the server.
Once the computation is done, you can observe the enhanced data in a Data Table. With the retrived embeddings, you can continue with any machine learning method Orange offers. Below is an example for clustering.
