Smoking & Tobacco Product Detection

Overview

The Smoking & Tobacco Product detection model helps you determine if an image or video contains tobacco products and smoking-related situations such as:

  • people visibly smoking (such as holding a cigarette or puffing smoke)
  • cigarettes, cigarette butts, cigarette packs and similar paper-based smoking products
  • cigars
  • pipes
  • hookahs, shishas

This model focuses on products that are legal in most jurisdictions.

To detect marijuana-related smoking such as joints, cannabis, marijuana leaves, processed marijuana or to detect devices usually related to the consumption of illegal drugs (such as bongs or glasspipes) you should use the recreational_drugs category in the Drug Detection model instead.

Examples

The tobacco value returned is between 0 and 1, images with a value close to 1 will contain displays of smoking, while images with a value closer to 0 are considered to be safe.

Here are a few examples:

Cigarettes & cigarette butts

Typical commercial cigarettes or cigarette butts. This does not include joints that are visibly associated with marijuana.

Detect Smoking

Let's say you want to moderate the following image:

You can either upload a public URL to the image, or upload the raw binary image. Here's how to proceed if you choose to share the image's public URL:


curl -X GET -G 'https://api.sightengine.com/1.0/check.json' \
    -d 'models=tobacco' \
    -d 'api_user={api_user}&api_secret={api_secret}' \
    --data-urlencode 'url=https://sightengine.com/assets/img/doc/tobacco/smoking.jpg'


# this example uses requests
import requests
import json

params = {
  'url': 'https://sightengine.com/assets/img/doc/tobacco/smoking.jpg',
  'models': 'tobacco',
  'api_user': '{api_user}',
  'api_secret': '{api_secret}'
}
r = requests.get('https://api.sightengine.com/1.0/check.json', params=params)

output = json.loads(r.text)


$params = array(
  'url' =>  'https://sightengine.com/assets/img/doc/tobacco/smoking.jpg',
  'models' => 'tobacco',
  'api_user' => '{api_user}',
  'api_secret' => '{api_secret}',
);

// this example uses cURL
$ch = curl_init('https://api.sightengine.com/1.0/check.json?'.http_build_query($params));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$output = json_decode($response, true);


// this example uses axios
const axios = require('axios');

axios.get('https://api.sightengine.com/1.0/check.json', {
  params: {
    'url': 'https://sightengine.com/assets/img/doc/tobacco/smoking.jpg',
    'models': 'tobacco',
    'api_user': '{api_user}',
    'api_secret': '{api_secret}',
  }
})
.then(function (response) {
  // on success: handle response
  console.log(response.data);
})
.catch(function (error) {
  // handle error
  if (error.response) console.log(error.response.data);
  else console.log(error.message);
});

The API will then return a JSON response such as this:

                    
                    
{
    "status": "success",
    "request": {
        "id": "req_1OjggusalNb2S7MxwLq2h",
        "timestamp": 1509132120.6988,
        "operations": 1
    },
    "tobacco": {
        "prob": 0.9
    },
    "media": {
        "id": "med_1OjgEqvJtOhqP7sfNe3ga",
        "uri": "https://sightengine.com/assets/img/doc/tobacco/smoking.jpg"
    }
}
