Project Positioning and Core Philosophy

mq-image-analyze is a visual reasoning engine, not a traditional image generation tool. Its core mission is to convert screenshots, charts, UI interface states, and various visual content into structured data for secure use by AI agents (such as mq-agent) and MCP (Model Context Protocol) workflows.

In the current AI ecosystem, text processing capabilities are quite mature, but visual understanding remains a weak link. mq-image-analyze is designed to fill this gap; it acts as the "eyes" of AI agents, enabling machines to truly "understand" image content.

The project's core philosophy can be summarized as: Vision → Reasoning → Experience. This three-layer architecture emphasizes that generation is optional and secondary; the real value lies in understanding and analysis.

Section 04

Layer 1: Vision Layer

The Vision Layer is responsible for extracting basic information from images, including:

  • Object Detection: Identify object categories and positions in images
  • Color Analysis: Extract the main colors and color schemes of images
  • Composition Analysis: Evaluate composition principles such as symmetry and the rule of thirds
  • OCR Text Extraction: Recognize text content in images
  • Metadata Extraction: Obtain technical parameters and attributes of images

This layer mainly relies on computer vision technologies, such as YOLOv8 for object detection, OpenCV for image processing, and PIL for basic image operations.

Section 05

Layer 2: Reasoning Layer

The Reasoning Layer performs higher-level semantic understanding based on the basic information extracted by the Vision Layer:

  • Style Analysis: Judge the visual style and aesthetic features of images
  • Film Language Understanding: Analyze depth of field, contrast, light and shadow effects of images
  • Prompt Generation: Generate reverse prompts for AI painting based on image content
  • UI Analysis: Understand the layout and interaction logic of interface elements
  • Scoring System: Quantitatively evaluate image quality

This layer combines traditional computer vision technologies with modern multimodal large language models (such as BakLLaVA, Llama 3.2 Vision, GPT-4.1, etc.)

Layer 3: Experience Layer

The Experience Layer is oriented towards end-users and developers, providing a friendly interactive interface:

  • Command Line Interface (CLI): Provide rich commands and parameter options
  • MCP Tool Integration: Act as an MCP-compatible visual perception tool
  • Agent Skill Scheduling: Seamlessly collaborate with AI agent systems like mq-agent
  • Web Service: Support HTTP API calls

Three Visual Analysis Modes

mq-image-analyze provides three different visual analysis modes to adapt to different usage scenarios and performance requirements:

Section 08

Local Fast Mode (local-fast)

By default, it uses BakLLaVA via Ollama, suitable for:

  • Scenarios requiring fast response
  • Offline environments or cases without API keys
  • Simple image description and basic object recognition
