cloud.google.com/vision/docs covers all annotation features, batch processing, and async annotation. Getting started: enable Vision API, ADC configured, first annotate_image() in under 5 minutes. Free tier: 1000 units/month. SDK for Python, Java, Go, Node.js, PHP, Ruby. Community via Google Cloud Community.
InvalidArgumentError for invalid image content or too-large images. InternalError for transient issues (retry). Vision API SLA: 99.9%. Accuracy varies by image quality. OCR accuracy high for printed text; lower for handwriting. Batch: up to 16 images per synchronous request; async for larger volumes.
Vision API provides a comprehensive image analysis toolkit — one API call returns labels (object detection), OCR text extraction, facial detection (no identification), landmark and logo recognition, and safe search (explicit content detection). For agents: classify images before storing, extract text from screenshots or document images, filter explicit content, or identify logos in images. Batch annotation processes multiple images per call. Confidence is docs-derived.
Python SDK: from google.cloud import vision. client = vision.ImageAnnotatorClient(). image = vision.Image(content=image_bytes). response = client.annotate_image(request={image: image, features: [{type_: vision.Feature.Type.LABEL_DETECTION}, {type_: vision.Feature.Type.TEXT_DETECTION}]}). response.label_annotations for object labels. response.text_annotations for OCR. Batch: client.batch_annotate_images(requests=[...]). Async batch for GCS-stored images.
Service account or ADC. Roles: roles/cloudvision.user (for annotate operations). HTTPS enforced. Images processed server-side by Google. For sensitive images, review Google Cloud privacy policies.
