Visual Features
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| CAPTION | Generate human-readable image description |
| DENSE_CAPTIONS | Captions for up to 10 regions |
| READ | OCR - Extract text from images |
| TAGS | Content tags for objects, scenes, actions |
| OBJECTS | Detect objects with bounding boxes |

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",
box.getX(), box.getY(), person.getConfidence());
}
Smart Cropping
ImageAnalysisResult result = client.analyzeFromUrl(
imageUrl,
Arrays.asList(VisualFeatures.SMART_CROPS),
new ImageAnalysisOptions().setSmartCr
