Minor Detection API

About this Cloud Hub Solution:

‍

The Minor Detection API categorizes images and returns True if it detects a child, teenager, or baby. This is particularly useful for businesses that require strict moderation to prevent users from posting pictures of minors.

‍

How it works

When a minor is detected in an image, a confidence score is calculated and returned. A score of 1 indicates that the content almost certainly contains a minor, while a score close to 0 implies a lower level of confidence. Typically, a score of 0.5 is a safe threshold.

‍

For instance, an image of children playing together, even with some of them wearing hats or looking away, can be successfully detected with a high confidence score by the Minor Detection API.

‍

The Minor Detection API returns a "Minor Detected: True" flag with an 88% confidence score in such cases:

{
  "confidence_score": 0.8837910890579224,
  "description": "Minor detected",
  "result": true
}

Where to use it

The Minor Detection API is primarily used by social media and news sites that need to moderate large amounts of user-generated data quickly. By using this API, you can prevent complaints and avoid manually approving every uploaded image or hosting inappropriate content until it's reported. Additionally, private investigators and forensics teams use this API to track underage individuals.

‍

You can also combine the Minor Detection API with the Face Pixelizer API, a best-seller on the marketplace, to pixelize the faces of detected minors and streamline your moderation process.
