Novel Advance Image Caption Generation Utilizing Vision Transformer and Generative Adversarial Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel method for producing image captions through the utilization of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) using our proposed Image Captioning Utilizing Transformer and GAN (ICTGAN) model. Here we use the efficient representation learning of the ViTs to improve the realistic image production of the GAN. Using textual features from the LSTM-based language model, our proposed model combines salient information extracted from images using ViTs. This merging of features is made possible using a self-attention mechanism, which enables the model to efficiently take in and process data from both textual and visual sources using the self-attention properties of the self-attention mechanism. We perform various tests on the MS COCO dataset as well as the Flickr30k dataset, which are popular benchmark datasets for image-captioning tasks, to verify the effectiveness of our proposed model. The outcomes represent that, on this dataset, our algorithm outperforms other approaches in terms of relevance, diversity, and caption quality. With this, our model is robust to changes in the content and style of the images, demonstrating its excellent generalization skills. We also explain the benefits of our method, which include better visual–textual alignment, better caption coherence, and better handling of complicated scenarios. All things considered, our work represents a significant step forward in the field of picture caption creation, offering a complete solution that leverages the complementary advantages of GANs and ViT-based self-attention models. This work pushes the limits of what is currently possible in image caption generation, creating a new standard in the industry.
