Image retrieval method and device, storage medium and electronic equipment

The invention discloses an image retrieval method and device, a storage medium and electronic equipment. The method comprises the steps that text description input by a user is acquired; generating a prediction image corresponding to the text description by using a pre-trained text graph model; and based on the predicted image, performing image retrieval in an image library to obtain an image retrieval result. By applying the method and the device, image retrieval can be performed based on text description, and a classical image retrieval method can be compatible. 本申请公开了一种图像检索方法、装置、存储介质和电子设备，包括：获取用户输入的文本描述；利用预先训练好的文生图模型，生成与所述文本描述对应的预测图像；基于所述预测图像，在图像库中进行图像检索，得到图像检索结果。应用本申请，能够基于文字描述进行图像检索，并能够兼容经典的图像检索方法。
