Google Cloud Java Client for Vision
Java idiomatic client for Google Cloud Vision.
Quickstart
If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file
<dependency> <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId> <artifactId>google-cloud-vision</artifactId> <version>1.14.0</version> </dependency>
If you are using Gradle, add this to your dependencies
compile 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-vision:1.14.0'If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies
libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-vision" % "1.14.0"
Authentication
See the Authentication section in the base directory's README.
Google Cloud Vision API allows developers to easily integrate vision detection features within applications, including image labeling, face and landmark detection, optical character recognition (OCR), and tagging of explicit content.
See the Vision client library docs to learn how to use this Cloud Vision API Client Library.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
You will need a Google Developers Console project with the Vision API enabled. Follow these instructions to get your project set up. You will also need to set up the local development environment by installing the Google Cloud SDK and running the following commands in command line: gcloud auth login and gcloud config set project [YOUR PROJECT ID].
Installation and setup
You'll need to obtain the google-cloud-vision library. See the Quickstart section to add google-cloud-vision as a dependency in your code.
Complete working example
In AnnotateImage.java we put a quick start example, which shows how you can use the Google Vision API to automatically annotate an image (like "cat", "whiskers", "mammal" for a picture of a cat).
For an example picture file, you can use the wakeupcat.jpg image from the samples repository.
Troubleshooting
To get help, follow the instructions in the shared Troubleshooting document.
Transport
Vision uses gRPC for the transport layer.
Java Versions
Java 7 or above is required for using this client.
Versioning
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
It is currently in major version zero (0.y.z), which means that anything may change at any time and the public API should not be considered stable.
Contributing
Contributions to this library are always welcome and highly encouraged.
