and more...
Below is a comprehensive list of tasks supported by the model, along with descriptions on how to utilize their outputs within the Workflows ecosystem:
Task Descriptions:

Text Recognition (OCR) (
ocr) - Model recognizes text in the image -
Text Detection & Recognition (OCR) (
ocr-with-text-detection) - Model detects text regions in the image, and then performs OCR on each detected region -
Captioning (short) (
caption) - Model provides a short description of the image -
Captioning (
detailed-caption) - Model provides a long description of the image -
Captioning (long) (
more-detailed-caption) - Model provides a very long description of the image -
Unprompted Object Detection (
object-detection) - Model detects and returns the bounding boxes for prominent objects in the image -
Object Detection (
open-vocabulary-object-detection) - Model detects and returns the bounding boxes for the provided classes -
Detection & Captioning (
object-detection-and-caption) - Model detects prominent objects and captions them -
Prompted Object Detection (
phrase-grounded-object-detection) - Based on the textual prompt, model detects objects matching the descriptions -
Prompted Instance Segmentation (
phrase-grounded-instance-segmentation) - Based on the textual prompt, model segments objects matching the descriptions -
Segment Bounding Box (
detection-grounded-instance-segmentation) - Model segments the object in the provided bounding box into a polygon -
Classification of Bounding Box (
detection-grounded-classification) - Model classifies the object inside the provided bounding box -
Captioning of Bounding Box (
detection-grounded-caption) - Model captions the object in the provided bounding box -
Text Recognition (OCR) for Bounding Box (
detection-grounded-ocr) - Model performs OCR on the text inside the provided bounding box -
Regions of Interest proposal (
region-proposal) - Model proposes Regions of Interest (Bounding Boxes) in the image
