azure-ai-vision-imageanalysis-java
Lets your agent understand images. It can describe what it sees, read text in images, or find objects.
What it does
This tool allows a computer program to analyze images. It can describe what's in a photo, extract text from documents, identify objects, and even suggest smart crops for the image.
When to use it
- ✓When you want a program to automatically describe the content of a photo.
- ✓To read text from images of documents or signs.
- ✓To find and identify specific objects within an image.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Describe this image and list the objects you find.”

Core Patterns
Generate Caption
import com.azure.ai.vision.imageanalysis.models.*;
import com.azure.core.util.BinaryData;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.Arrays;
// From file
BinaryData imageData = BinaryData.fromFile(new File("image.jpg").toPath());
ImageAnalysisResult result = client.analyze(
imageData,
Arrays.asList(VisualFeatures.CAPTION),
new ImageAnalysisOptions().setGenderNeutralCaption(true));
System.out.printf("Caption: \"%s\" (confidence: %.4f)%n",
result.getCaption().getText(),
result.getCaption().getConfidence());
Generate Caption from URL
ImageAnalysisResult result = client.analyzeFromUrl(
"https://example.com/image.jpg",
Arrays.asList(VisualFeatures.CAPTION),
new ImageAnalysisOptions().setGenderNeutralCaption(true));
System.out.printf("Caption: \"%s\"%n", result.getCaption().getText());
Extract Text (OCR)
ImageAnalysisResult result = client.analyze(
BinaryData.fromFile(new File("document.jpg").toPath()),
Arrays.asList(VisualFeatures.READ),
null);
for (DetectedTextBlock block : result.getRead().getBlocks()) {
for (DetectedTextLine line : block.getLines()) {
System.out.printf("Line: '%s'%n", line.getText());
System.out.printf(" Bounding polygon: %s%n", line.getBoundingPolygon());
for (DetectedTextWord word : line.getWords()) {
System.out.printf(" Word: '%s' (confidence: %.4f)%n",
word.getText(),
word.getConfidence());
}
}
}
Detect Objects
ImageAnalysisResult result = client.analyzeFromUrl(
imageUrl,
Arrays.asList(VisualFeatures.OBJECTS),
null);
for (DetectedObject obj : result.getObjects()) {
System.out.printf("Object: %s (confidence: %.4f)%n",
obj.getTags().get(0).getName(),
obj.getTags().get(0).getConfidence());
ImageBoundingBox box = obj.getBoundingBox();
System.out.printf(" Location: x=%d, y=%d, w=%d, h=%d%n",
box.getX(), box.getY(), box.getWidth(), box.getHeight());
}
Get Tags
ImageAnalysisResult result = client.analyzeFromUrl(
imageUrl,
Arrays.asList(VisualFeatures.TAGS),
null);
for (DetectedTag tag : result.getTags()) {
System.out.printf("Tag: %s (confidence: %.4f)%n",
tag.getName(),
tag.getConfidence());
}
Detect People
ImageAnalysisResult result = client.analyzeFromUrl(
imageUrl,
Arrays.asList(VisualFeatures.PEOPLE),
null);
for (DetectedPerson person : result.getPeople()) {
ImageBoundingBox box = person.getBoundingBox();
System.out.printf("Person at x=%d, y=%d (confidence: %.4f)%n",

FAQ
What are 'Visual Features'?
These are the different types of analysis you can request for the image, such as description, text reading, object identification, etc.
How does the tool know which image to analyze?
You can provide the image directly or a link (URL) to it.
Can I ask for multiple types of analysis at once?
Yes, you can request several analyses (like description and object identification) in a single request.
