# VNTargetedImageRequest The abstract superclass for image analysis requests that operate on both the processed image and a secondary image. ``` class VNTargetedImageRequest ``` ## Overview Other Vision request handlers that operate on both the processed image and a secondary image inherit from this abstract base class. Instantiate one of its subclasses to perform image analysis, and pass in auxiliary image data by filling in the `options` dictionary at initialization. ## Topics ### Creating a Request [`initWithTargetedCGImage:options:`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/initWithTargetedCGImage:options:) Creates a new request targeting a Core Graphics image. [`init(targetedCGImage:options:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/init(targetedCGImage:options:completionHandler:)) Creates a new request targeting a Core Graphics image, executing the completion handler when done. [`initWithTargetedCGImage:orientation:options:`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/initWithTargetedCGImage:orientation:options:) Creates a new request targeting a Core Graphics image of known orientation.

[`initWithTargetedCMSampleBuffer:options:`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/initWithTargetedCMSampleBuffer:options:) Creates a new request that targets an image in a sample buffer. [`init(targetedCMSampleBuffer:options:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/init(targetedCMSampleBuffer:options:completionHandler:)) Creates a new request with a completion handler that targets an image in a sample buffer. [`initWithTargetedCMSampleBuffer:orientation:options:`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/initWithTargetedCMSampleBuffer:orientation:options:) Creates a new request that targets an image of a known orientation in a sample buffer. [`init(targetedCMSampleBuffer:orientation:options:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/init(targetedCMSampleBuffer:orientation:options:completionHandler:)) Creates a new request with a completion handler that targets an image of a known orientation in a sample buffer. [`initWithTargetedImageData:options:`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/initWithTargetedImageData:options:) Creates a new request targeting an image as raw data. [`init(targetedImageData:options:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/init(targetedImageData:options:completionHandler:)) Creates a new request targeting an image as raw data, executing the completion handler when done. [`initWithTargetedImageData:orientation:options:`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/initWithTargetedImageData:orientation:options:) Creates a new request targeting a raw data image of known orientation. [`init(targetedImageData:orientation:options:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/init(targetedImageData:orientation:options:completionHandler:)) Creates a new request targeting a raw data image of known orientation, executing the completion handler when done. [`initWithTargetedImageURL:options:`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/initWithTargetedImageURL:options:) Creates a new request targeting an image at the specified URL. [`init(targetedImageURL:options:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/Vision/VNTargetedImageRequest/init(targetedImageURL:options:completionHandler:)) Creates a new request targeting an image at the specified URL, executing the completion handler when done.
