Gemini 模型從一開始就建構於多模態的基礎上,因此可執行各種圖像處理和電腦視覺工作,包括但不限於生成圖像說明、分類和回答圖像問題,無須訓練專門的機器學習模型。
除了提供一般多模態功能,Gemini 模型還透過額外訓練,針對特定用途 (例如物體偵測) 提升準確度。
將圖片傳送給 Gemini
你可以透過兩種方式將圖片提供給 Gemini 做為輸入內容:
- 傳遞內嵌圖片資料:適合較小的檔案 (包括提示在內,要求總大小小於 20 MB)。
- 使用 File API 上傳圖片:建議用於較大的檔案,或在多個要求中重複使用圖片。
傳遞內嵌圖片資料
您可以在對 generateContent 的要求中傳遞內嵌圖片資料。您可以提供 Base64 編碼字串形式的圖片資料,也可以直接讀取本機檔案 (視語言而定)。
以下範例說明如何從本機檔案讀取圖片,並傳遞至 generateContent API 進行處理。
Python
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
with open('path/to/small-sample.jpg', 'rb') as f:
image_bytes = f.read()
client = genai.Client()
response = client.models.generate_content(
model='gemini-3-flash-preview',
contents=[
types.Part.from_bytes(
data=image_bytes,
mime_type='image/jpeg',
),
'Caption this image.'
]
)
print(response.text)
JavaScript
import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
import * as fs from "node:fs";
const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});
const base64ImageFile = fs.readFileSync("path/to/small-sample.jpg", {
encoding: "base64",
});
const contents = [
{
inlineData: {
mimeType: "image/jpeg",
data: base64ImageFile,
},
},
{ text: "Caption this image." },
];
const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
model: "gemini-3-flash-preview",
contents: contents,
});
console.log(response.text);
Go
bytes, _ := os.ReadFile("path/to/small-sample.jpg")
parts := []*genai.Part{
genai.NewPartFromBytes(bytes, "image/jpeg"),
genai.NewPartFromText("Caption this image."),
}
contents := []*genai.Content{
genai.NewContentFromParts(parts, genai.RoleUser),
}
result, _ := client.Models.GenerateContent(
ctx,
"gemini-3-flash-preview",
contents,
nil,
)
fmt.Println(result.Text())

您也可以從網址擷取圖片、轉換為位元組,然後傳遞至 generateContent,如以下範例所示。
Python
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
import requests
image_path = "https://goo.gle/instrument-img"
image_bytes = requests.get(image_path).content
image = types.Part.from_bytes(

)
client = genai.Client()
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
contents=["What is this image?", image],
)
print(response.text)
JavaScript

const imageUrl = "https://goo.gle/instrument-img";
const response = await fetch(imageUrl);

const result = await ai.models.generateContent({

console.log(result.text);

使用 File API 上傳圖片
如要處理大型檔案或重複使用同一張圖片,請使用 Files API。下列程式碼會上傳圖片檔案,然後在呼叫 generateContent 時使用該檔案。如需更多資訊和範例,請參閱 Files API 指南。
Python
from google import genai
client = genai.Client()
my_file = client.files.upload(file="path/to/sample.jpg")
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",

});
const response = await ai.models.generateContent({

contents: createUserContent([
createPartFromUri(myfile.uri, myfile.mimeType),

});
console.log(response.text);

使用多張圖片撰寫提示
您可以在 contents 陣列中加入多個圖片 Part 物件,在單一提示中提供多張圖片。這些可以是內嵌資料 (本機檔案或網址) 和 File API 參照的組合。

物件偵測
模型經過訓練後,可偵測圖片中的物件並取得定界框座標。相對於圖片尺寸的座標會縮放至 [0, 1000]。您需要根據原始圖片大小,縮放這些座標。
Python
from google import genai
from google.genai import types
from PIL import Image
import json
client = genai.Client()
prompt = "Detect the all of the prominent items in the image. The box_2d should be [ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax] normalized to 0-1000."
image = Image.open("/path/to/image.png")
config = types.GenerateContentConfig(
response_mime_type="application/json"
)
response = client.models.generate_content(model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
contents=[image, prompt],
config=config
)
width, height = image.size
bounding_boxes = json.loads(response.text)
converted_bounding_boxes = []
for bounding_box in bounding_boxes:
abs_y1 = int(bounding_box["box_2d"][0]/1000 * height)
abs_x1 = int(bounding_box["box_2d"][1]/1000 * width)
abs_y2 = int(bounding_box["box_2d"][2]/1000 * height)
abs_x2 = int(bounding_box["box_2d"][3]/1000 * width)
converted_bounding_boxes.append([abs_x1, abs_y1, abs_x2, abs_y2])
print("Image size: ", width, height)
print("Bounding boxes:", converted_bounding_boxes)
如需更多範例,請參閱 Gemini 教戰手冊中的下列筆記本:
支援的圖片格式
Gemini 支援下列圖片格式 MIME 類型:
- PNG -
image/png - JPEG -
image/jpeg - WebP -
image/webp - HEIC -
image/heic - HEIF -
image/heif
如要瞭解其他檔案輸入方式,請參閱「檔案輸入方式」指南。
功能
所有 Gemini 模型版本都是多模態模型,可用於各種圖像處理和電腦視覺工作,包括但不限於圖片說明、視覺問答、圖片分類和物件偵測。
視品質和效能需求而定,Gemini 可減少使用專業機器學習模型的需求。
最新模型版本經過特別訓練,除了強化物件偵測等一般功能外,還能提升特定工作的準確度。
限制和重要技術資訊
檔案限制
Gemini 模型每項要求最多可支援 3,600 個圖片檔案。
計算權杖
- 如果長邊和短邊都小於或等於 384 像素,則為 258 個權杖。 較大的圖片會分割成 768x768 像素的圖塊,每個圖塊需支付 258 個權杖。
計算圖塊數量的粗略公式如下:
- 計算裁剪單元大小,大約是:floor(min(width, height) / 1.5)。
- 將每個維度除以裁剪單元大小,然後相乘,即可取得圖塊數量。
舉例來說,如果圖片尺寸為 960x540,裁剪單位大小為 360。將每個維度除以 360,圖塊數量為 3 * 2 = 6。
媒體解析度
Gemini 3 推出 media_resolution 參數,可精細控管多模態視覺處理作業。media_resolution 參數會決定每個輸入圖片或影片影格分配到的詞元數量上限。
解析度越高,模型就越能辨識細小文字或細節,但也會增加權杖用量和延遲時間。
如要進一步瞭解參數及其對權杖計算的影響,請參閱「媒體解析度」指南。
提示與最佳做法
- 確認圖片已正確旋轉。
- 使用清晰的圖片,避免模糊不清。
- 如果使用含有文字的單一圖片,請將文字提示詞放在
contents陣列的圖片部分之後。
