DINO-GPT4-V: Use GPT-4V in a Two-Stage Detection Model

James Gallagher's article discusses the integration of Grounding DINO and GPT-4V to create a two-stage object detection model, leveraging zero-shot capabilities for identifying and classifying objects in images, specifically focusing on car brands. The process involves using Grounding DINO to detect objects and then employing GPT-4V to refine classifications within detected regions, such as distinguishing between car makes like Mercedes and Toyota. This model combination is facilitated by Autodistill, an ecosystem that connects foundation models for efficient data labeling, significantly reducing the time required for model training. By utilizing this approach, users can automate dataset labeling and subsequently train fine-tuned models, such as YOLOv8, which can be deployed on various platforms, including the Roboflow Inference Server, offering both online and offline deployment options. The article encourages experimentation with DINO-GPT4V and invites users to share their results on social media.
