Image Multimodal Semantic Embedding and Vector Search Workflow

This workflow automatically downloads images from Google Drive, extracts color channel information, and generates semantic keywords. It utilizes a multimodal large language model to create textual descriptions of the image content. Ultimately, it generates a structured embedded document, which is stored in a memory vector database, supporting image vector searches based on textual descriptions. This process enhances the accuracy and flexibility of image retrieval, making it suitable for various fields such as digital asset management, media advertising, and e-commerce.

Image Multimodal Semantic Embedding and Vector Search Workflow

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automates the process of downloading images from Google Drive, extracting color channel information, and generating semantic keywords. Leveraging a Multimodal Large Language Model (Multimodal LLM), it converts image content into textual descriptions. These data are then fused to create structured embedding documents stored in an in-memory vector database, enabling vector search based on textual descriptions of images. The workflow is highly efficient and automated, supporting extraction and semantic understanding of multi-dimensional image features.

Core Problems Addressed

Traditional image retrieval methods rely heavily on pixel-level information, making semantic-level intelligent search challenging. This workflow addresses the problem of "how to transform image content into searchable semantic vectors" by combining color statistics with multimodal semantic keyword generation. It significantly improves the accuracy of image retrieval and enhances application flexibility.

Application Scenarios

  • Rapid retrieval of images with specific styles or content in digital asset management systems
  • Intelligent classification and recommendation of visual content in media and advertising industries
  • Product matching on e-commerce platforms through image descriptions
  • Material search in creative design and content creation processes
  • Any scenario requiring search that integrates visual features and semantic information of images

Main Process Steps

  1. Trigger Start: Manually initiate the workflow.
  2. Image Acquisition: Download specified image files from Google Drive.
  3. Image Processing:
    • Extract color channel statistical information.
    • Resize images as needed, with a maximum dimension of 512x512 pixels.
  4. Semantic Keyword Generation: Use OpenAI’s vision model to analyze images and extract rich semantic keywords (including objects, lighting, mood, tone, special effects, etc.).
  5. Data Fusion: Combine color information and keywords to form a comprehensive image description document.
  6. Embedding Document Generation: Attach metadata (format, background color, source filename) to the image description.
  7. Vector Storage: Insert the embedding document into an in-memory vector store to support subsequent vector retrieval.
  8. Search Testing: Perform vector search on stored images using text prompts to validate retrieval effectiveness.

Involved Systems and Services

  • Google Drive: Source of image files.
  • OpenAI Vision and Text Models: For image semantic analysis and keyword extraction.
  • n8n Image Editing Node: Performs image resizing and color information extraction.
