Hive Contextual Scene Classification API is a cloud-based solution that uses deep learning to identify and classify the context of visual content in images and videos. The API returns classes from four broad categories: settings, subjects, objects, and the IAB Content Taxonomy, which is an industry standard for ad-targeting and content categorization. For each frame submitted, the API provides a response for each class, with most classes returning binary results (0 or 1) and a subset (GARM classes) returning a confidence score between 0 and 1. The model covers over 140 granular classes, enabling comprehensive scene understanding for diverse use cases such as advanced tagging, contextual advertising, and content moderation. The API is designed for high-volume, real-time processing and can be integrated into applications with a single API call. It is adaptable to various applications, allowing users to select relevant results for their specific needs, and is regularly updated to maintain high accuracy and performance.
