AI Image Similarity Search

This video shows Python code for image similarity search - using Qdrant as the Vector Database and a free vision transformer model : ViT Model 'facebook/dino-vits16'
This is all free. No need for a paid AI service such as OpenAI. Unlike many tutorials and videos, this uses a custom dataset, rather than the usual ready made one. I have used some Real Estate Property images from a Kaggle collection, but you could just as easily add your own and modify the metadata accordingly. I introduce the project at the start, and then the second half is a sequence of me demonstrating it.
