Develop a REST API using Spring Boot and Spring AI to generate image captions.
Create a service where users can upload an image, and the AI generates a caption describing what is in the image. You can integrate with models like OpenAI’s DALL·E or Hugging Face Vision Transformers to handle image processing and caption generation.
Steps:
- Step 1: Build a Spring Boot application with image upload functionality.
- Step 2: Integrate an AI model that supports image captioning.
- Step 3: Create a REST API endpoint where users can POST an image file.
- Step 4: The AI generates a caption based on the image and sends it back as a response.
Example Use Case: This could be useful for improving accessibility on the web by automatically generating alt text for images or for social media platforms to generate captions for photos.
