The image caption is simply to input an image to the computer model, and the model outputs an accurate text caption according to the image to be described. This paper summarizes image caption methods based on template, retrieval and deep learning. The development history of different methods is introduced respectively. Among these, image labeling methods that use Deep Learning are effective, with the encoding code model being the most commonly used. Then it introduces the data sets and evaluation indicators that are widely used in the field of image caption. Finally, the current challenges of image caption methods are analyzed, and the future development direction is prospected.
