+## Cloud Vision API samples
+
+These samples require two environment variables to be set:
+
+- `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` - Path to a service account file. You can
+download one from your Google project's "credentials" page.
+- `GCLOUD_PROJECT` - ID of your Google project.
+
+See [gcloud-node authentication][auth] for more details.
+
+[auth]: https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-node/#/docs/guides/authentication
+
+## Run a sample
+
+Install dependencies first:
+
+    npm install
+
+### Face detection sample
+
+This sample uses [node-canvas](https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas) to
+draw an output image. node-canvas depends on Cairo, which may require separate
+installation. See the node-canvas [installation section][canvas-install] for
+details.
+
+[canvas-install]: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas#installation
+
+Execute the sample:
+
+    node faceDetection "/path/to/image.jpg"
