Installation

You may install the package via composer:

composer require ahmadmayahi/php-google-vision

Creating Google Service Account

First, you must create a Google service account and setup the configuration object.

Configuration

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Config;

$config = (new Config())
    // Required: path to your google service account.
    ->setCredentials('path/to/google-service-account.json')

    // Optional: defaults to `sys_get_temp_dir()`
    ->setTempDirPath('/my/tmp');

Original Responses

All the features come with getOriginalResponse() method which returns the original response that's returned by PHP Google Vision Package:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$response = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/file.jpg')
    ->faceDetection()
    ->getOriginalResponse();

The file() method accepts the following types:

• Local file path: path/to/your/file.
• Google Storage path: gs://path/to/file.
• File resource, such as fopen().
• SplFileInfo.
• SplFileObject.

Integration with Laravel

Open up the AppServiceProvider and add the following lines:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;
use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Config;

public function register()
{
    $this->app->singleton(Vision::class, function ($app) {
        $config = (new Config())
            ->setCredentials(config('vision.service_account_path'));
    
        return Vision::init($config);
    });
}

Using Dependency Injection:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class FaceDetectionController
{
    public function detect(Request $request, Vision $vision)
    {
        $vision = $vision
            ->file($request->face_file->path())
            ->faceDetection()
            ->detect();
            
        // ...
    }
}

You may also resolve the object using the app helper as follows:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

/** @var Vision $vision */
$vision = app(Vision::class);

$result = $vision
    ->file('path/to/file')
    ->faceDetection()
    ->detect();

// ...

Image Text Detection (OCR)

Get plain text

The plain() method returns an object of type AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\ImageText.

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$response = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->imageTextDetection()
    ->plain();

if ($response) {
    $response->locale; // locale, for example "en"
    $response->text;   // Image text
}

Both plain() and document() methods return null if no text will be detected.

You may also get the plain text using __toString() magic method:

echo $response;

Get Document

The getDocument returns an object of type AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\ImageText.

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$response = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->imageTextDetection()
    ->document();

if ($response) {
    $response->locale; // locale, for example "en" for English
    $response->text;   // Image text
}

The difference between plain() and docuemnt() is that the first one only retrieves the plain text (no bullets, signs, etc...), whereas the latter one tries to retrieve the entire document (including bullets, symbols, etc...).

Handwriting

The document method can also be used to detect handwriting in an image.

PDF and Tiff

Coming soon.

Crop Hints Detection

Crop Hints suggests vertices for a crop region on an image.

Detect Crop Hints

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$response = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->cropHintsDetection()
    ->detect();

/** @var \AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\CropHints $item */
foreach ($response as $item) {
    $item->bounds; // An array of \AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\Vertex

    $item->confidence;

    $item->importanceFraction;    
}

Draw box around hints

You may use the drawBoxAroundHints method as follows:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;
use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Enums\Color;

Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->cropHintsDetection()
    ->drawBoxAroundHints(Color::GREEN)
    ->toJpeg('out.jpg')

Crop Image

You may export the cropped image as follows:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$response = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->cropHintsDetection()
    ->crop()
    ->toJpeg('out.jpg');

Original Image:

Cropped Image:

Face Detection

Face Detection detects multiple faces within an image along with the associated key facial attributes such as emotional state or wearing headwear.

The detect method returns a Generator of AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\Face:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$vision = Vision::init($config);

$faces = $vision
    ->file('/path/to/image.jpg')
    ->faceDetection()
    ->detect();

echo count($faces). ' faces found';

/** @var \AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\Face $faceData */
foreach ($faces as $faceData) {
    $faceData->anger; // for example: POSSIBLE
    $faceData->isAngry(); // boolean
    
    $faceData->surprise;
    $faceData->isSurprised();
    
    $faceData->joy;
    $faceData->isJoyful();

    $faceData->blurred;
    $faceData->isBlurred();
    
    $faceData->headwear;
    $faceData->isHeadwear();

    $faceData->landmarking;
    
    $faceData->underExposed;
    
    $faceData->detectionConfidence;
    
    $faceData->bounds;
}

The anger, surprise and joy etc... return likelihoods ratings which are expressed as six different values:

• UNKNOWN.
• VERY_UNLIKELY.
• UNLIKELY.
• POSSIBLE.
• LIKELY.
• VERY_LIKELY.

See Likelihood.

You may get the results as array:

$faces = $vision
    ->file('/path/to/image.jpg')
    ->faceDetection()
    ->asArray();

Or as JSON:

$faces = $vision
    ->file('/path/to/image.jpg')
    ->faceDetection()
    ->asJson();

asArray and asJson is supported in all the features that return Generator.

Draw box around faces

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;
use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Enums\Color;

$analyzer = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->faceDetection()
    ->drawBoxAroundFaces(Color::MAGENTA)
    // Alternatively, you may use `toPng`, `toGif`, `toBmp` methods.
    ->toJpeg('faces.jpg');

All the drawing methods return an object of type AhmadMayahi\Vision\Support\Image.

This feature doesn't support Google Storage yet.

Image Properties Detection

The Image Properties feature detects general attributes of the image, such as dominant color.

The detect method returns a Generator of AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\ImageProperties:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$properties = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->imagePropertiesDetection()
    ->detect();

/** @var \AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\ImageProperties $item */
foreach ($properties as $item) {
    $item->red;

    $item->blue;

    $item->green;

    $item->pixelFraction;    
}

Landmark Detection

Landmark Detection detects popular natural and human-made structures within an image.

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$landmarks = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/baghdad.jpg')
    ->landmarkDetection()
    ->detect();

/** @var \AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\Landmark $landmark */
foreach ($landmarks as $landmark) {
    $landmark->name;
    
    // An array containing the detected locations in latitude/longitude format.
    $landmark->locations;
}

Safe Search Detection

SafeSearch Detection detects explicit content such as adult content or violent content within an image.

The detect method returns an object of type AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\SafeSearch:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$result = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->safeSearchDetection()
    ->detect();

$result->adult;
$result->isAdult(); // boolean

$result->medical;
$result->isMedical(); // boolean

$result->violence;
$result->isViolence(); // boolean

$result->racy;
$result->isRacy(); // boolean

$result->spoof;
$result->isSpoof(); // boolean

Label Detection

Detect and extract information about entities in an image, across a broad group of categories.

The detect method returns an a Generator of labels:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$labels = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->labelDetection()
    ->detect();

Logo Detection

Detect Objects

The detect method returns a Generator of AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\LocalizedObjectData:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;

$objects = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/image.jpg')
    ->objectLocalizer()
    ->detect();

/** @var AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\LocalizedObject $obj */
foreach ($objects as $obj) {
    $obj->name;
    
    $obj->languageCode;
    
    $obj->mid;
    
    $obj->normalizedVertices;
    
    $obj->score;
}

Draw Box Around Objects

You may draw box around objects using the drawBoxAroundObjects method:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;
use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Enums\Color;

$objects = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')
    ->objectLocalizer()
    ->drawBoxAroundObjects()
    ->boxColor(Color::GREEN)
    ->toJpeg('out.jpg');

The drawBoxAroundObjects() takes an optionalcallback as a second parameter:

use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Vision;
use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Enums\Color;
use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Support\Image;
use AhmadMayahi\Vision\Data\LocalizedObject;

$objects = Vision::init($config)
    ->file('/path/to/input/image.jpg')

    ->boxColor(Color::RED)
    ->callback(function(Image $outputImage, LocalizedObject $object) {
        // Get GD Image
        $outputImage->getImage();
        
        // Get object info
        $object->getName();
    })
    ->draw();

This feature doesn't support Google Storage yet.
