Starlings.Models.EmbeddingGemma2.Imaging.SkiaSharp

Decodes image files and streams with SkiaSharp into EmbeddingGemma2Image for Starlings.Models.EmbeddingGemma2, reproducing what the upstream processor receives from PIL (Image.open(...).convert("RGB")). The model package itself takes decoded RGB and has no native dependency; this adapter is optional.

using Starlings.Models.EmbeddingGemma2;
using Starlings.Models.EmbeddingGemma2.Imaging.SkiaSharp;

EmbeddingGemma2Image image = EmbeddingGemma2ImageDecoder.DecodeFile("cat.jpg");
using var embedder = EmbeddingGemma2MultimodalEmbedder.Create(EmbeddingGemma2ModelAssets.OpenLocalImageAssets());
float[] embedding = embedder.Embed(image);

Maturity

Maturity is per profile, generated from the registry manifests by model-pipeline catalog (do not edit this table by hand). Gates, evidence and capabilities per profile: the model catalog.

Profile Maturity Platforms
embeddinggemma-2/image-fp32-cpu stable linux-x64 cpu: supported; windows-x64 cpu: untested
embeddinggemma-2/image-fp32-cuda stable linux-x64 cuda: supported; windows-x64 cuda: untested

Rules

Input Behaviour Status
PNG (RGB, grayscale, RGBA, gray+alpha, palette, palette with transparency, 1-bit), JPEG (baseline, progressive, 4:2:0, 4:4:4, CMYK) Decoded RGB equal to PIL 12.3.0's on the 28 supported fixture images supported (Stable image-fp32-cpu and image-fp32-cuda contracts)
GIF (palette, grayscale; first frame of an animation), BMP (24-bit, 32-bit with alpha, 8-bit palette and grayscale, 1-bit), WebP (lossless, lossy, with and without alpha) Decoded RGB equal to PIL 12.3.0's on 12 files written by Pillow from fixture images (proposed model-pipeline/proposed/embeddinggemma-2/image-extra/) experimental
GIF with transparent pixels Rejected: EmbeddingGemma2UnsupportedImageException with Reason = GifTransparency. PIL keeps the palette colour of transparent pixels; SkiaSharp zeroes them, so the embedding would differ unsupported
Alpha Dropped, never composited (a transparent pixel keeps its stored colour), as upstream as upstream
Colour profiles Ignored (no colour management), as PIL as upstream
EXIF orientation Ignored by default, as upstream. new EmbeddingGemma2ImageDecoderOptions { ApplyExifOrientation = true } rotates or mirrors the image upright like Pillow's exif_transpose: a deliberate deviation from upstream (the embedding then differs from sentence-transformers') experimental (opt-in)
16 bits per channel (16-bit PNG and other high-bit-depth sources) Rejected: EmbeddingGemma2UnsupportedImageException with Reason = HighBitDepth. Upstream saturates such images to white; any decoder that scales them would give another embedding unsupported
More than 50 megapixels (MaxPixels) Rejected from the header before decoding: EmbeddingGemma2ImageTooLargeException unsupported above the limit
Truncated or corrupt data Rejected (Reason = Undecodable), as PIL rejects it unsupported
Other formats (ICO, WBMP, DNG, HEIF, AVIF, ...) Rejected (Reason = UnsupportedFormat) unsupported

Linux x64 is tested. The adapter brings SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.NoDependencies (no fontconfig needed); on Windows and macOS, SkiaSharp brings its own natives (untested here).

Licenses

The package is MIT OR Apache-2.0. It depends on SkiaSharp 4.153.1 (MIT, Microsoft) and its native library, which bundles third-party code under the notices in the natives package's THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt, among them a GIF decoder tri-licensed MPL 1.1 / GPL 2.0 / LGPL 2.1 (used under the MPL 1.1, unmodified) and the Adobe DNG SDK license ("This product includes DNG technology under license by Adobe Systems Incorporated."). Applications that ship this adapter ship those natives and should carry that file. Summary: THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md in this package. ImageSharp is not used (Split License, not OSI-approved).

Deployments of the model must adhere to the Gemma Prohibited Use Policy (model card).
