Florence-2-large - AI Vision Models Tool

Overview

Florence-2-large is a Microsoft vision foundation model for vision and vision-language tasks. It uses a prompt-based sequence-to-sequence transformer pretrained on the FLD-5B dataset and supports zero-shot and fine-tuned settings for tasks such as captioning, object detection, OCR, and segmentation.

Key Features

  • Prompt-based sequence-to-sequence transformer architecture
  • Pretrained on the FLD-5B dataset
  • Supports zero-shot inference
  • Supports fine-tuning for downstream tasks
  • Handles image captioning
  • Performs object detection
  • Performs OCR extraction
  • Supports image segmentation
  • Designed as a vision foundation model

Ideal Use Cases

  • Generate descriptive captions for images
  • Detect and localize objects in images
  • Extract text from scanned documents
  • Produce segmentation masks for images
  • Fine-tune for custom vision tasks
