Enhance searchability and organization with AI-powered image tagging!

The Challenge: Manual Product Image Tagging is Inefficient

E-commerce businesses rely on well-organized product images for search and recommendation systems. However, manually tagging thousands of images is slow, inconsistent, and costly.

Solution? AI-Powered Automated Tagging!

With Python, AI, and MongoDB, we can:
✔️ Analyze images and assign relevant tags automatically.
✔️ Improve search functionality and customer experience.
✔️ Save time and reduce human error.
✔️ Organize product catalogs effortlessly.

How to Build an Automated Image Tagging System with Python

Step 1: Install Required Libraries

We’ll use a pre-trained deep learning model (ResNet or EfficientNet) to extract image features and classify products.

pip install tensorflow keras numpy pandas matplotlib opencv-python pymongo

---

Step 2: Load and Preprocess Product Images

We use OpenCV to load images and preprocess them for the AI model.

import cv2
import numpy as np
import os

# Load and preprocess an image
def preprocess_image(image_path, target_size=(224, 224)):
    image = cv2.imread(image_path)
    image = cv2.resize(image, target_size)  # Resize for the AI model
    image = image.astype("float32") / 255.0  # Normalize pixel values
    image = np.expand_dims(image, axis=0)  # Expand dimensions for model
    return image

---

Step 3: Use a Pre-trained AI Model for Image Tagging

We’ll use EfficientNet, a powerful image classification model, to generate relevant tags.

from tensorflow.keras.applications import EfficientNetB0
from tensorflow.keras.applications.efficientnet import decode_predictions

# Load pre-trained model
model = EfficientNetB0(weights="imagenet")

# Predict tags for an image
def predict_tags(image_path):
    image = preprocess_image(image_path)
    predictions = model.predict(image)
    decoded_predictions = decode_predictions(predictions, top=5)[0]  # Get top 5 tags
    tags = [pred[1] for pred in decoded_predictions]  # Extract tag names
    return tags

# Example usage
image_path = "example_product.jpg"
tags = predict_tags(image_path)
print("Predicted Tags:", tags)

---

Step 4: Store Image Tags in MongoDB

We can store image metadata and tags in MongoDB for easy retrieval.

from pymongo import MongoClient

# Connect to MongoDB
client = MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
db = client["ecommerce_db"]
collection = db["product_images"]

# Save image metadata and tags
def save_to_mongo(image_path, tags):
    image_name = os.path.basename(image_path)
    collection.insert_one({"image_name": image_name, "tags": tags})
    print(f"Saved {image_name} to MongoDB with tags: {tags}")

# Store the results
save_to_mongo(image_path, tags)

---

Step 5: Automate Image Processing for an Entire Product Catalog

We can loop through all images in a directory and auto-tag them.

image_directory = "product_images/"  # Folder with images

# Process all images in the folder
for filename in os.listdir(image_directory):
    if filename.endswith(".jpg") or filename.endswith(".png"):
        file_path = os.path.join(image_directory, filename)
        tags = predict_tags(file_path)
        save_to_mongo(file_path, tags)

---

Step 6: Use AI Tags for Enhanced Search

Now that tags are stored in MongoDB, we can search for products based on keywords.

def search_by_tag(tag):
    results = collection.find({"tags": tag})
    return [res["image_name"] for res in results]

# Example: Search for all "shoe" images
search_results = search_by_tag("shoe")
print("Images with tag 'shoe':", search_results)
