Electric Vehicle Charger Socket Recognition and Semantic Retrieval Model using OpenCLIP (ViT-B/32)

Objective

Built OpenCLIP-based recognition and text-image retrieval for five EV socket classes.

Stack

Delivery highlights

• Built a model that can recognize different types of Electric Vehicle charger sockets and support similarity search using OpenCLIP (ViT-B/32). The model converts both images and text descriptions into numerical vectors (embeddings) that represent their visual meaning. By placing images and text in the same vector space, the system can classify five socket types (AC Type 1, AC Type 2, DC CCS Type 1, DC CCS Type 2, CHAdeMO) and also match user text queries with relevant images.
