基于Milvus的多模态RAG

如果您想体验本教程的最终效果，可以直接访问在线演示。

本教程展示了由 Milvus、可视化 BGE 模型和 GPT-4o 驱动的多模态 RAG 系统。通过该系统，用户可以上传图片并编辑文本指令，这些指令将由 BGE 的复合检索模型进行处理，以搜索候选图片。 随后，GPT-4o 作为重新排序器，选出最合适的图片并提供选择理由。这一强大的组合带来了流畅且直观的图片搜索体验：利用 Milvus 实现高效检索，借助 BGE 模型进行精准的图像处理与匹配，并依托 GPT-4o 完成高级重新排序。

准备工作

安装依赖项

$ pip install --upgrade pymilvus openai datasets opencv-python timm einops ftfy peft tqdm

$ git clone https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding.git
$ pip install -e FlagEmbedding

下载数据

以下命令将下载示例数据并解压到本地文件夹“./images_folder”中，其中包括：

• images：Amazon Reviews 2023数据集的一个子集，包含来自“家电”、“手机及配件”和“电子产品”三大类别的约 900 张图片。
• leopard.jpg：一张示例查询图片。

$ wget https://github.com/milvus-io/bootcamp/releases/download/data/amazon_reviews_2023_subset.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf amazon_reviews_2023_subset.tar.gz

加载嵌入模型

我们将使用可视化 BGE 模型“bge-visualized-base-en-v1.5”来生成图片和文本的 Embeddings。

1. 下载权重

$ wget https://huggingface.co/BAAI/bge-visualized/resolve/main/Visualized_base_en_v1.5.pth

2. 构建编码器

import torch
from visual_bge.modeling import Visualized_BGE


class Encoder:
    def __init__(self, model_name: str, model_path: str):
        self.model = Visualized_BGE(model_name_bge=model_name, model_weight=model_path)
        self.model.eval()

    def encode_query(self, image_path: str, text: str) -> list[float]:
        with torch.no_grad():
            query_emb = self.model.encode(image=image_path, text=text)
        return query_emb.tolist()[0]

    def encode_image(self, image_path: str) -> list[float]:
        with torch.no_grad():
            query_emb = self.model.encode(image=image_path)
        return query_emb.tolist()[0]


model_name = "BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5"
model_path = "./Visualized_base_en_v1.5.pth"  # Change to your own value if using a different model path
encoder = Encoder(model_name, model_path)

加载数据

本节将把示例图像及其对应的Embeddings加载到数据库中。

生成Embeddings

从数据目录加载所有 jpeg 图像，并应用编码器将图像转换为 Embeddings。

import os
from tqdm import tqdm
from glob import glob


# Generate embeddings for the image dataset
data_dir = (
    "./images_folder"  # Change to your own value if using a different data directory
)
image_list = glob(
    os.path.join(data_dir, "images", "*.jpg")
)  # We will only use images ending with ".jpg"
image_dict = {}
for image_path in tqdm(image_list, desc="Generating image embeddings: "):
    try:
        image_dict[image_path] = encoder.encode_image(image_path)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to generate embedding for {image_path}. Skipped.")
        continue
print("Number of encoded images:", len(image_dict))

Generating image embeddings: 100%|██████████| 900/900 [00:20<00:00, 44.08it/s]

Number of encoded images: 900

插入到 Milvus

将图像及其对应的路径和 Embeddings 插入到 Milvus 集合中。

from pymilvus import MilvusClient


dim = len(list(image_dict.values())[0])
collection_name = "multimodal_rag_demo"

# Connect to Milvus client given URI
milvus_client = MilvusClient(uri="./milvus_demo.db")

# Create Milvus Collection
# By default, vector field name is "vector"
milvus_client.create_collection(
    collection_name=collection_name,
    auto_id=True,
    dimension=dim,
    enable_dynamic_field=True,
)

# Insert data into collection
milvus_client.insert(
    collection_name=collection_name,
    data=[{"image_path": k, "vector": v} for k, v in image_dict.items()],
)

{'insert_count': 900,
 'ids': [451537887696781312, 451537887696781313, ..., 451537887696782211],
 'cost': 0}

基于生成式Rerankers的多模态搜索

在本节中，我们将首先通过多模态查询搜索相关图像，然后使用 LLM 服务对结果进行重新排序，并找出最佳结果及其解释。

执行搜索

现在，我们已准备好通过包含图像和文本指令的查询数据执行高级图像搜索。

query_image = os.path.join(
    data_dir, "leopard.jpg"
)  # Change to your own query image path
query_text = "phone case with this image theme"

# Generate query embedding given image and text instructions
query_vec = encoder.encode_query(image_path=query_image, text=query_text)

search_results = milvus_client.search(
    collection_name=collection_name,
    data=[query_vec],
    output_fields=["image_path"],
    limit=9,  # Max number of search results to return
    search_params={"metric_type": "COSINE", "params": {}},  # Search parameters
)[0]

retrieved_images = [hit.get("entity").get("image_path") for hit in search_results]
print(retrieved_images)

['./images_folder/images/518Gj1WQ-RL._AC_.jpg', './images_folder/images/41n00AOfWhL._AC_.jpg', './images_folder/images/51Wqge9HySL._AC_.jpg', './images_folder/images/51R2SZiywnL._AC_.jpg', './images_folder/images/516PebbMAcL._AC_.jpg', './images_folder/images/51RrgfYKUfL._AC_.jpg', './images_folder/images/515DzQVKKwL._AC_.jpg', './images_folder/images/51BsgVw6RhL._AC_.jpg', './images_folder/images/51INtcXu9FL._AC_.jpg']

使用 GPT-4o 重新排序

我们将使用LLM对图像进行排序，并基于用户查询和检索结果，为最佳结果生成解释。

1. 创建全景视图

import numpy as np
import cv2

img_height = 300
img_width = 300
row_count = 3


def create_panoramic_view(query_image_path: str, retrieved_images: list) -> np.ndarray:
    """

    )

    # create and resize the query image with a blue border
    query_image_null = np.full((panoramic_height, img_width, 3), 255, dtype=np.uint8)
    query_image = Image.open(query_image_path).convert("RGB")
    query_array = np.array(query_image)[:, :, ::-1]
    resized_image = cv2.resize(query_array, (img_width, img_height))

    border_size = 10
    blue = (255, 0, 0)  # blue color in BGR
    bordered_query_image = cv2.copyMakeBorder(

    text = "query"
    font_scale = 1
    font_thickness = 2
    text_org = (10, img_height * 3 + 30)
    cv2.putText(
        query_image_null,
        text,
        text_org,
        cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX,
        font_scale,
        blue,
        font_thickness,
        cv2.LINE_AA,

    # combine the rest of the images into the panoramic view
    retrieved_imgs = [
        np.array(Image.open(img).convert("RGB"))[:, :, ::-1] for img in retrieved_images
    ]
    for i, image in enumerate(retrieved_imgs):
        image = cv2.resize(image, (img_width - 4, img_height - 4))
        row = i // row_count
        col = i % row_count
        start_row = row * img_height
        start_col = col * img_width

        border_size = 2
        bordered_image = cv2.copyMakeBorder(
            image,

            border_size,
            border_size,
            cv2.BORDER_CONSTANT,
            value=(0, 0, 0),
        )
        panoramic_image[
            start_row : start_row + img_height, start_col : start_col + img_width
        ] = bordered_image

        # add red index numbers to each image
        text = str(i)
        org = (start_col + 50, start_row + 30)

    # combine the query image with the panoramic view
    panoramic_image = np.hstack([query_image_null, panoramic_image])
    return panoramic_image

将查询图片和检索到的图片与索引信息整合到全景视图中。

from PIL import Image

combined_image_path = os.path.join(data_dir, "combined_image.jpg")
panoramic_image = create_panoramic_view(query_image, retrieved_images)
cv2.imwrite(combined_image_path, panoramic_image)

combined_image = Image.open(combined_image_path)
show_combined_image = combined_image.resize((300, 300))
show_combined_image.show()

创建全景视图

2. 重新排序并提供解释

我们将把组合后的图像连同适当的提示词一起发送至多模态大型语言模型（LLM）服务，以对检索结果进行排序并提供解释。若要启用 GPT-4o 作为大型语言模型，您需要准备OpenAI API 密钥。

import requests
import base64

openai_api_key = "sk-***"  # Change to your OpenAI API Key


def generate_ranking_explanation(
    combined_image_path: str, caption: str, infos: dict = None
) -> tuple[list[int], str]:
    with open(combined_image_path, "rb") as image_file:
        base64_image = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode("utf-8")

    information = (
        "You are responsible for ranking results for a Composed Image Retrieval. "
        "The user retrieves an image with an 'instruction' indicating their retrieval intent. "
        "For example, if the user queries a red car with the instruction 'change this car to blue,' a similar type of car in blue would be ranked higher in the results. "
        "Now you would receive instruction and query image with blue border. Every item has its red index number in its top left. Do not misunderstand it. "
        f"User instruction: {caption} \n\n"
    )

    # add additional information for each image
    if infos:
        for i, info in enumerate(infos["product"]):
            information += f"{i}. {info}\n"

    information += (
        "Provide a new ranked list of indices from most suitable to least suitable, followed by an explanation for the top 1 most suitable item only. "
        "The format of the response has to be 'Ranked list: []' with the indices in brackets as integers, followed by 'Reasons:' plus the explanation why this most fit user's query intent."
    )

    headers = {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {openai_api_key}",
    }

    payload = {
        "model": "gpt-4o",
        "messages": [
            {
                "role": "user",
                "content": [
                    {"type": "text", "text": information},
                    {
                        "type": "image_url",
                        "image_url": {"url": f"data:image/jpeg;base64,{base64_image}"},
                    },
                ],
            }
        ],
        "max_tokens": 300,
    }

    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions", headers=headers, json=payload
    )
    result = response.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]

    # parse the ranked indices from the response
    start_idx = result.find("[")
    end_idx = result.find("]")
    ranked_indices_str = result[start_idx + 1 : end_idx].split(",")
    ranked_indices = [int(index.strip()) for index in ranked_indices_str]

    # extract explanation
    explanation = result[end_idx + 1 :].strip()

    return ranked_indices, explanation

获取排序后的图像索引以及最佳结果的理由：

ranked_indices, explanation = generate_ranking_explanation(
    combined_image_path, query_text
)

3. 显示最佳结果及解释

print(explanation)

best_index = ranked_indices[0]
best_img = Image.open(retrieved_images[best_index])
best_img = best_img.resize((150, 150))
best_img.show()

Reasons: The most suitable item for the user's query intent is index 6 because the instruction specifies a phone case with the theme of the image, which is a leopard. The phone case with index 6 has a thematic design resembling the leopard pattern, making it the closest match to the user's request for a phone case with the image theme.
