How Works

First, you must convert the selected image into Base64 Format. In this case, we convert it by using HTML 5 features (Canvas). Canvas allow you to get Base64 format of drawed images with toDataURL() method. Then, you can post the data to Google Vision REST API on https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate. You can read full documentation here.
