图片理解

Gemini 模型从一开始就具有多模态特性，可解锁各种图片处理和计算机视觉任务，包括但不限于图片说明、分类和视觉问答，而无需训练专门的机器学习模型。

将图片传递给 Gemini

您可以通过以下两种方法将图片作为输入提供给 Gemini：

传递内嵌图片数据：非常适合较小的文件（请求总大小小于 20MB，包括提示）。
使用 File API 上传图片：适用于较大的文件，或在多个请求中重复使用图片。

传递内嵌图片数据

您可以将请求中的内嵌图片数据传递给 generateContent。您可以以 Base64 编码字符串的形式提供图片数据，也可以直接读取本地文件（具体取决于语言）。

以下示例展示了如何从本地文件读取图片，并将其传递给 generateContent API 进行处理。

Python

  from google.genai import types

  with open('path/to/small-sample.jpg', 'rb') as f:
      image_bytes = f.read()

  response = client.models.generate_content(
    model='gemini-2.0-flash',
    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({ apiKey: "GOOGLE_API_KEY" });
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-2.0-flash",
  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-2.0-flash",
  contents,
  nil,
)

fmt.Println(result.Text())

REST

IMG_PATH="/path/to/your/image1.jpg"

if [[ "$(base64 --version 2>&1)" = *"FreeBSD"* ]]; then
B64FLAGS="--input"
else
B64FLAGS="-w0"

curl "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/gemini-2.0-flash:generateContent?key=$GOOGLE_API_KEY" \

    "contents": [{
    "parts":[
        {
            "inline_data": {
            "mime_type":"image/jpeg",
            "data": "'"$(base64 $B64FLAGS $IMG_PATH)"'"
            }
        },
        {"text": "Caption this image."},
    ]
    }]
}' 2> /dev/null

您还可以从网址提取图片，将其转换为字节，然后将其传递给 generateContent，如以下示例所示。

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(
  data=image_bytes, mime_type="image/jpeg"
)

client = genai.Client(api_key="GOOGLE_API_KEY")
response = client.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash-exp",
    contents=["What is this image?", image],
)

print(response.text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

async function main() {
  const ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY });

  const imageUrl = "https://goo.gle/instrument-img";

  const response = await fetch(imageUrl);
  const imageArrayBuffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
  const base64ImageData = Buffer.from(imageArrayBuffer).toString('base64');

  const result = await ai.models.generateContent({
    model: "gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents: [
    {
      inlineData: {
        mimeType: 'image/jpeg',
        data: base64ImageData,
      },
    },
    { text: "Caption this image." }
  ],
  });
  console.log(result.text);
}

main();

Go

package main

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "io"
  "net/http"
  "google.golang.org/genai"
)

func main() {
  ctx := context.Background()
  client, _ := genai.NewClient(ctx, &genai.ClientConfig{
      APIKey:  os.Getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY"),
      Backend: genai.BackendGeminiAPI,
  })

  // Download the image.
  imageResp, _ := http.Get("https://goo.gle/instrument-img")

  imageBytes, _ := io.ReadAll(imageResp.Body)

  parts := []*genai.Part{
    genai.NewPartFromBytes(imageBytes, "image/jpeg"),
    genai.NewPartFromText("Caption this image."),
  }

  contents := []*genai.Content{
    genai.NewContentFromParts(parts, genai.RoleUser),
  }

  result, _ := client.Models.GenerateContent(
    ctx,

使用 File API 上传图片

对于大型文件或需要反复使用同一图片文件，请使用 Files API。以下代码会上传图片文件，然后在对 generateContent 的调用中使用该文件。如需了解详情和示例，请参阅 Files API 指南。

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client(api_key="GOOGLE_API_KEY")

my_file = client.files.upload(file="path/to/sample.jpg")

response = client.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents=[my_file, "Caption this image."],
)

print(response.text)

JavaScript

import {
  GoogleGenAI,
  createUserContent,
  createPartFromUri,
} from "@google/genai";

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: "GOOGLE_API_KEY" });

async function main() {
  const myfile = await ai.files.upload({
    file: "path/to/sample.jpg",
    config: { mimeType: "image/jpeg" },
  });

  const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
    model: "gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents: createUserContent([
      createPartFromUri(myfile.uri, myfile.mimeType),
      "Caption this image.",
    ]),
  });
  console.log(response.text);
}

await main();

Go

package main

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "os"
  "google.golang.org/genai"
)

func main() {
  ctx := context.Background()
  client, _ := genai.NewClient(ctx, &genai.ClientConfig{
    APIKey:  os.Getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY"),
    Backend: genai.BackendGeminiAPI,
  })

  uploadedFile, _ := client.Files.UploadFromPath(ctx, "path/to/sample.jpg", nil)

  parts := []*genai.Part{
      genai.NewPartFromText("Caption this image."),
      genai.NewPartFromURI(uploadedFile.URI, uploadedFile.MIMEType),
  }

  }

  result, _ := client.Models.GenerateContent(

使用多张图片提示

您可以在单个问题中提供多张图片，方法是在 contents 数组中添加多个图片 Part 对象。这些数据可以是内嵌数据（本地文件或网址）和 File API 引用的混合。

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client(api_key="GOOGLE_API_KEY")

# Upload the first image
image1_path = "path/to/image1.jpg"
uploaded_file = client.files.upload(file=image1_path)

# Prepare the second image as inline data
image2_path = "path/to/image2.png"
with open(image2_path, 'rb') as f:
    img2_bytes = f.read()

# Create the prompt with text and multiple images
response = client.models.generate_content(

对象检测

从 Gemini 2.0 开始，模型会接受进一步训练，以检测图片中的对象并获取其边界框坐标。坐标相对于图片尺寸，比例为 [0, 1000]。您需要根据原始图片大小缩小这些坐标。

Python

from google import genai
from google.genai import types
from PIL import Image
import json

client = genai.Client(api_key="GOOGLE_API_KEY")
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-2.0-flash",
                                          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)

细分

从 Gemini 2.5 开始，模型不仅可以检测商品，还可以对其进行分割并提供轮廓遮罩。

该模型会预测一个 JSON 列表，其中每个项都代表一个分割掩码。每个项都有一个边界框（“box_2d”），格式为 [y0, x0, y1, x1]，归一化坐标介于 0 到 1000 之间，一个用于标识对象的标签（“label”），最后是边界框内的分割掩码，以 base64 编码的 png 格式表示，即值介于 0 到 255 之间的概率图。需要调整遮罩的大小，使其与边界框的尺寸一致，然后根据置信度阈值进行二值化处理（中点为 127）。
