# VertexAIImageCaptioner
`VertexAIImageCaptioner` enables text generation using Google Vertex AI `imagetext` generative model.
| | |
| :-------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Mandatory run variables** | “image”: A [`ByteStream`](/docs/data-classes#bytestresm) object storing an image |
| **Output variables** | “captions”: A list of strings generated by the model |
| **API reference** | [Google Vertex](/reference/integrations-google-vertex) |
| **GitHub link** | https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack-core-integrations/tree/main/integrations/google_vertex |
### Parameters Overview
`VertexAIImageCaptioner` uses Google Cloud Application Default Credentials (ADCs) for authentication. For more information on how to set up ADCs, see the [official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc).
Keep in mind that its essential to use an account that has access to a project authorized to use Google Vertex AI endpoints.
You can find your project ID in the [GCP resource manager](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager) or locally by running `gcloud projects list` in your terminal. For more info on the gcloud CLI, see its [official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/cli).
## Usage
You need to install `google-vertex-haystack` package to use the `VertexAIImageCaptioner`:
```shell
pip install google-vertex-haystack
```
### On its own
Basic usage:
```python
import requests
from haystack.dataclasses.byte_stream import ByteStream
from haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_vertex import VertexAIImageCaptioner
captioner = VertexAIImageCaptioner()
image = ByteStream(data=requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silvanocerza/robots/main/robot1.jpg").content)
result = captioner.run(image=image)
for caption in result["captions"]:
print(caption)
```
You can also set the caption language and the number of results:
```python
import requests
from haystack.dataclasses.byte_stream import ByteStream
from haystack_integrations.components.generators.google_vertex import VertexAIImageCaptioner
captioner = VertexAIImageCaptioner(
number_of_results=3, # Can't be greater than 3
language="it",
)
image = ByteStream(data=requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/silvanocerza/robots/main/robot1.jpg").content)
result = captioner.run(image=image)
for caption in result["captions"]:
print(caption)
```
