Vision API Example

This simple code example demonstrates how to use the Google Vision API to tag images.

1. Extract the file test-images.tar.gz to project root folder.

2. Setup environment

   virtualenv -p python3 venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip3 install -r requirement.txt

3. Running example:

   export PROJECT=your-gcp-project
   python3 snippet.py ${PROJECT} images/dataset.csv --export_json True

4. Check results: This example saves image tags to Google Cloud Datastore and uploads the image to Google Cloud Storage. This can be useful to build an extension to allow searching images by tags.

   • Datastore:

   • GCS:

   • JSON files containing image tags will be exported to 'output' folder if the flag '--export_json' is True.
