Captioning Method

Image captioning aims to automatically generate descriptive text for images or videos, bridging the gap between computer vision and natural language processing. Current research focuses on improving caption quality and detail, particularly for fine-grained datasets and specialized domains like medical imaging and remote sensing, often employing transformer-based architectures and large language models. These advancements are crucial for enhancing accessibility (e.g., for visually impaired individuals), improving information retrieval, and enabling more sophisticated multimodal applications across various fields. Furthermore, research is actively addressing challenges such as handling out-of-distribution data and developing more robust evaluation metrics.
