I am using python to call the Computer Vision API and it is giving me an inaccurate caption for the image I provide.
When testing the same image in vision studio I am getting accurate captions. I'll provide screenshots of my results below.

I would appreciate it if anyone could give insight as to where I should start investigating the issue.

Greetings and Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.
I understand that you are encountering discrepancies between the results from the Computer Vision API in your Python application and those in Vision Studio, here are the few steps to consider:
Ensure that you are using an appropriate confidence threshold for the captions. For the Image Analysis 4.0 API, a confidence threshold of
0.0is recommended, while for the Image Analysis 3.2 API, a threshold of0.4is suggested. If your application is filtering out captions based on confidence, it may be excluding valid results.Confirm that you are using the correct version of the API. The Image Analysis 4.0 API has different features and capabilities compared to the 3.2 version. If you are using an older version, consider switching to the latest one for improved accuracy.
If your application is not set to use gender-neutral captions, it may produce inaccurate results. You can enable this feature by setting the
gender-neutral-captionparameter totruein your API request.Ensure that the images you are testing have good quality and clarity. Low-quality images may lead to less accurate captions.
Check if your Azure AI Vision resource is located in a supported region for the features you are using. Some features may not be available in all regions, which could affect the results.
Review the structure of your API request in your Python application. Ensure that you are correctly including the necessary parameters for captioning.
Kindly refer this Image captions (version 4.0).
I Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further queries.
Thank you!
