Detect Firearms and determine the level of threat

Detect guns and rifles with the Weapon API. Apply smart rules adapted to the context of the firearm and in line with your community guidelines. You can block any firearm, or implement adaptive filters depending on how the weapon is used. Here are the available categories:

Self-harm

Level 0

Immediate threat

Level 1

Aiming, no threat

Level 2

In hand not aiming

Level 3

Not in hand

Level 4

Adapt your filters to the nature of the image

Use our proprietary Image Type models to determine if a given image or scene is natural or animated:

Real-life: situations with actual weapons.
In-game: scenes extracted from video games and that are perceived by viewers as such.
Illustrations: weapons featured in drawings, paintings, comics or sketches.
Computer-generated: other types of computer-generated weapons that look distinct from the "real thing".

Differentiate firearms based on their nature

Real rifle

Real-life scene

Animated rifle

Detect different types of Knives along with their context

Detect utility knives, combat knives, cleavers, and daggers with the Weapon API. Adapt your filtering to your users and your community guidelines. You can block any knife, or implement adaptive filters depending on the type of knife and how it is being used. Here are a few categories:

Self-harm with knife

Gore & Knife

Non culinary knife in use

Non culinary knife, not in use

Culinary knife in use

Culinary knife, not in use
