Set image of object & text recognition programmatically and start analysis

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello,

I am currently using object and text recognition controls in my application. Currently, the user has to upload the same image to each of the different controls individually. Therefore, I have added the Add Image control for an single upload. In the onSelect property, I have stored the uploaded image in a variable called selectedImage. I also added the variable to the Default Image property of the AI Builder controls, but that doesn't seem to work because I only get an empty image with no analysis started.
Am I using the correct property of the Ai Builder controls or is there no way to set the image programmatically?

 

Hope you guys can help me and looking forward to your answers.

 

Thanks a lot.

    Hello,

     

    Effectively, I don't believe that what you try to achieve is doable within Power Apps. I've tried without success.

     

    However, you may achieve it adding a Power Automate flow, which would take the uploaded image as input, and apply both Object Detection and Text Recognition model on it. Results could be store in a Dataverse table for instance, and displayed in your Power Apps. The downsize of it is you wouldn't be able to see the tags of the picture / the picture with extracted text highlighted in Power Apps.

     

    Hope this helps
