Analyze Image

UiPath.MicrosoftVision.Activities.AnalyzeImage

The Analyze Image activity uses the Microsoft Vision API to make a generic image call.

How it works

The following steps are an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Add the Microsoft Vision Scope activity to your project.
2. Add the Analyze Image activity inside the Microsoft Vision Scope activity.
3. Create and enter variables for the Intput properties.
4. Create and enter variables for the Output property.

Properties

Common

• Continue On Error - This field only supports boolean values (True, False). The default value in this field is False. As a result, if this field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
• DisplayName - The display name of the activity. This field supports only Strings or String variables.

Input

• Image Path - The path to a local image to be analyzed. This field supports only Strings or String variables. If Image URL is provided, this field is ignored.
• Image URL - The URL of an image to be analyzed. This field supports only Strings or String variables. If Image Path is provided, this field is ignored.
