Image operations by AI in action

The video below demonstrates seamless image operations using AI, from classifying what’s in the images to describing them in different languages.

Search images by content

Let’s say you need to find a relevant image to complement your new article. You can let the AI scan the images in your asset library and classify them based on what’s in them.
To classify images with AI, you need to enable it in Innovation Lab.
Here’s how the classification works:
  • The AI scans your asset library to classify existing images. New images are classified right after you upload them.
  • The classification adds an extra layer of image metadata. It doesn’t affect how you organize your assets with collections or taxonomies.
  • Only the images that meet the requirements are classified.
If you search for images using multiple keywords, you’ll get images labeled with at least one of the specified keywords.
  1. In  Content & assets, go to Assets.
  2. Type a keyword into the search bar. For example, type “rocket” to see all the images containing a rocket in your asset library.

Generate localized image descriptions

Save time by generating asset descriptions in the languages used in your project. In Kontent.ai, asset descriptions define the alt text for your assets. The alt text is useful for people who can’t see the images for technical or accessibility reasons. Including alt text with your images also helps with SEO. You can generate image descriptions only for images that meet the requirements.
To generate localized image descriptions with AI, you need to enable it in Innovation Lab.
To generate a description for your image:
  1. View your asset details.
  2. Click Describe with AI.
The AI generates the description in the default language. If the default language isn't recognized by the AI, it generates the asset description in English. To translate the description from the default language to other languages, click for other asset descriptions.
Using Describe with AI to generate an alt text.
Use Describe with AI to generate asset descriptions for images. Follow up with to translate the asset description to other languages.

Considerations

  • For an image to be recognized and classified by the AI, it must meet these requirements:
    • The image format must be JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, ICO, TIFF, or MPO.
    • The image resolution must be between 50 × 50 px and 16,000 × 16,000 px.
    • The image file size must be less than 20 MB.
  • When re-activating classify images with AI, any images uploaded while classify images with AI was deactivated won’t be classified when you activate it again.
