Bengali Image Captioning Using Vision Encoder-Decoder Model

Our research focuses on Bangla Image Captioning which involves generating descriptive captions for the images. To address this task, we propose a new approach using the Vision Encoder-Decoder model, consisting of interconnected models for image encoding and text decoding. Previous work in this area has not explored the use of the Vision Encoder-Decoder Model specifically for Bangla Image Captioning. We have conducted several studies using two publicly available Bengali datasets, Bornon and BanCap, and merged them to create a comprehensive dataset to assess the performance of our model. Our proposed model outperforms recent developments in Bengali image captioning, delivering exceptional results in both quantitative and qualitative analyses.
