Limitations
While model used by is actor can be used in many situations, it is important to understand the limitations of it. Here are some of the limitations we are aware of:
- Non-English: The model may not perform optimally when handling images with text of non-Latin alphabets, such as Japanese or Korean.
- Small text: Enlarge text within the image to improve readability, but avoid cropping important details.
- Rotation: The model may misinterpret rotated / upside-down text or images.
- Visual elements: The model may struggle to understand graphs or text where colors or styles like solid, dashed, or dotted lines vary.
- Spatial reasoning: The model struggles with tasks requiring precise spatial localization, such as identifying chess positions.
- Accuracy: The model may generate incorrect descriptions or captions in certain scenarios.
- Image shape: The model struggles with panoramic and fisheye images.
- Metadata and resizing: The model doesn't process original file names or metadata, and images are resized before analysis, affecting their original dimensions.
