I have an application on Symfony, through which images are uploaded.

Image data should be saved to the Milvus database to be processed by AI in the future. If I understand everything correctly, for this I need to convert the JPG image into vectors and save the array of vectors into the database.

The problem arose precisely at the stage of converting the image into vectors, since everything should happen on the server-side and should not refer to third-party APIs. I tried to use potrace but as far as I understand it can only create two-color images. I also tried to use Rindow Neural Networks, but since this is essentially my first time dealing with AI so closely, I couldn’t figure out how to process a JPG file and save it using this neural network. To work with Milvus, I'm trying to use mathsgod/milvus-client-php.

The main task is to take a JPG image and save it in Milvus in a color format understandable for future AI processing. Maybe it doesn't need to be converted into vectors, maybe I need to use a different vendor to work with Milvus, maybe I'm missing something else.

In general, all proposals are acceptable, except the AI ​​hallucinations, I've read quite a few of them over the past two weeks. Please help, I don't understand anything about AI.
