# Image Moderation

Visual AI analysis

Brand safety protection

Real-time processing

## Overview

SafetyKit's image moderation uses advanced visual AI to identify explicit content, violence, and brand safety risks in user-uploaded images. Our models analyze visual elements, embedded text, and contextual signals to provide accurate moderation decisions at scale.

### Key Capabilities

- **Multi-signal analysis:** Combines visual recognition, OCR, and contextual understanding
- **Granular classification:** Detailed categorization beyond binary safe/unsafe decisions
- **Custom thresholds:** Configure sensitivity levels for different content categories
- **Batch processing:** Review historical image libraries for compliance

## Detection Categories

### Adult and explicit content

### Violence and gore

### Hate symbols and extremism

### Brand safety risks

### Drugs and controlled substances

### Embedded text analysis

## How It Works

### Visual Analysis Pipeline

1. **Object Detection:** Identify objects, people, and scene elements
2. **Content Classification:** Categorize content across safety dimensions
3. **Text Extraction:** OCR processing for embedded text analysis
4. **Enforcement Decisions:** Makes enforcement decisions automatically, with configurable thresholds for routing edge cases to human review

### Integration Options

- Direct image URL analysis
- Base64 encoded image upload
- Cloud storage integration (S3, GCS, Azure Blob)
- Webhook callbacks for asynchronous processing
