It should be understood that, the content described in the Summary is not intended to identify key or important features of embodiments of the disclosure, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Other features of the disclosure will become apparent from the following description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Description will be made below to exemplary embodiments of the disclosure with reference to accompanying drawings, which includes various details of embodiments of the disclosure to facilitate understanding and should be regarded as merely examples. Therefore, it should be recognized by the skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure. Meanwhile, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions for well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

Description will may be made below to an image moderation method, an image moderation apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium according to embodiments of the disclosure with reference to accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1is a flow chart according to a first embodiment of the disclosure. It should be noted that, an executive subject of the image moderation method in some embodiment may be an image moderation apparatus. The image moderation apparatus may be a hardware device or software in the hardware device. For example, the hardware device may be a terminal device, and a server. As illustrated inFIG. 1, the image moderation method provided in some embodiments includes the following.

At block S101, a target image to be moderated is obtained.

The target image to be moderated may be any image. For example, decoding and frame extraction may be performed on any video, such as a teaching video, a film and a video of television play work, to obtain images. Any one of the images may be selected as the target image.

It should be noted that when obtaining the target image, an image pre-stored in local or a remote storage area may be obtained as the target image, or an image may be directly captured as the target image. In some embodiments, a video or an image may be obtained from at least one of a local or remote video library and an image library to acquire a target image. In some embodiments, an image may be directly captured as the target image. The way for obtaining the target image to be moderated is not limited in embodiments of the disclosure, and may be selected based on an actual situation.

At block S102, the target image is labeled to obtain multiple pieces of label information of the target image.

Labeling refers to a process of adding a detailed and specific label to the image to supplement image content classification through deep learning technologies.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, the target image may be inputted into at least one pre-trained model, to label the target image to obtain the multiple pieces of label information of the target image.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 2, by labeling the target image, entity labels of the target image such as a football star, a soccer, and a woman may be obtained, and labels representing semantic content of the image such as sexy, and a football match may also be obtained. As illustrated inFIG. 2, multiple pieces of label information such as an overseas football star11-1, a sexy football baby11-2, a football12-1, a football match12-2may be labeled for the target image.

At block S103, at least one service vertical category to which the target image is to be launched is obtained.

The service vertical category may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: a tourism vertical category, a sports vertical category, an animation vertical category and a teaching vertical category.

It should be noted that, services belonging to the same service vertical category focus on serving similar user groups, and also have similar attention directions and scales of image moderation. Accordingly, different service vertical categories have different attention directions and scales of image moderation for the same target image.

For example, a basketball game live service and a football forum service belong to the same service vertical category, and also have similar attention directions and scales of image moderation. A children reading service of science knowledge and a broadcasting service of a star reality show belong to different service vertical categories, and have different attention directions and scales of image moderation.

At block S104, it is recognized whether the multiple pieces of label information contain label information excluded by the service vertical category.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, after the multiple pieces of label information of the target image and the at least one service vertical category to which the target image is to be launched is obtained, it may be recognized whether the label information excluded by the service vertical category is contained in the multiple pieces of label information based on a preset image moderation standard.

The image moderation standard at least includes the label information excluded by the service category. For example, label information excluded by a teaching vertical category may be set as sexy, suicide, violence, etc.

At block S105, it is determined that the target image is a forbidden image in the service vertical category in a case that the multiple pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category.

It should be noted that, the target image may be determined as the forbidden image merely in the service vertical category when the multiple pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category.

For example, when the label information of the target image is a sexy football baby, the target image is determined as a forbidden image in the teaching vertical category, but the target image is determined as a qualified (non-forbidden) image in the sports vertical category.

With the image moderation method according to embodiments of the disclosure, the target image to be moderated may be obtained. The target image is labeled to obtain the multiple pieces of label information of the target image. The at least one service vertical category to which the target image is to be launched is obtained. It is recognized whether the multiple pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category. It is determined that the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category in a case that the multiple pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category, thereby implementing moderation processing for the image. In this way, with the disclosure, by obtaining the multiple pieces of label information of the target image at the same time, it may be dynamically moderated for different service vertical categories whether the target image is forbidden, different moderation results of the target image under the multiple service vertical categories are obtained, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of image moderation, and achieving the purpose of appropriate image moderation for different service vertical categories.

It should be noted that, in the disclosure, when obtaining the multiple pieces of label information of the target image, the target image may be segmented to obtain at least one image segment, and then the image segment is inputted into a recognition channel corresponding to the image segment to obtain the multiple pieces of label information of the target image.

As a possible implementation, as illustrated inFIG. 3, on the basis of the above embodiments, the process of obtaining the multiple pieces of label information of the target image at block S102specifically includes the following.

At block S201, segmentation is performed on the target image to obtain at least one image segment.

In some embodiments, connected component recognition may be performed on the target image to obtain relevance of contents in each connected component is obtained, and the target image is segmented according to the relevance to obtain the at least one image segment.

The connected component generally refers to an image domain (Blob) composed of foreground pixels having a same pixel value and located at adjacent positions in the image. The connected component recognition refers to a process of finding and marking each connected component in an image. In other words, a foreground target may be extracted, so that the connected component recognition method is able to be used in an application scene of subsequent processing. Generally, an object processed by the connected component recognition is a binarized image.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 4, the target image illustrated inFIG. 2may be segmented, to obtain image segments13-1to13-3.

At block S202, image recognition is performed on the image segment to obtain a recognition channel corresponding to the image segment.

The recognition channel refers to a channel containing a recognition model for performing image recognition on the image segment, such as a channel including a scene recognition model, a channel including a character recognition model, a channel including an item recognition model, and a channel including an animal recognition model.

It should be noted that, one image segment may correspond to multiple recognition channels, that is, one image segment may correspond to multiple recognition models. For example, a recognition channel corresponding to the image segment13-2illustrated inFIG. 4may be the character recognition model and the item recognition model.

At block S203, the image segment is inputted into the recognition channel, and the image segment is labeled by a recognition model corresponding to the recognition channel to obtain the multiple pieces of label information of the target image.

It should be noted that, the image segment may be input into the multiple recognition channels in turn when the image segment corresponds to multiple recognition channels.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 5, the recognition channels corresponding to the image segment13-2illustrated inFIG. 4are the channel including the character recognition model and the channel including the item recognition model. In some embodiments, the image segment13-2may be first inputted into the recognition channel corresponding to the character recognition model, and the character recognition model labels the image segment13-2to obtain label information: football14-1. Further, the image segment13-2may be inputted into the recognition channel corresponding to the item recognition model, and the item recognition model labels the image segment13-2to obtain label information: a sexy football baby14-2.

As another possible implementation, the target image may be inputted into the recognition model, and then inputted into multiple sub-recognition models in the recognition model, and the target image may be labeled by the multiple sub-recognition models to obtain the multiple pieces of label information.

The sub-recognition model may include at least one of: a scene sub-recognition model, a character sub-recognition model, an item sub-recognition model, an animal sub-recognition model and so on.

With image moderation method according to embodiments of the disclosure, the at least one image segment may be obtained by segmenting the target image, and image recognition may be performed on the image segment to obtain the recognition channel corresponding to the image segment, then the image segment is inputted into the corresponding recognition channel, and the image segment is labeled by the recognition model corresponding to the recognition channel to obtain the multiple pieces of label information of the target image. In this way, with the disclosure, the image segment obtained by segmentation may be inputted into the at least one corresponding recognition channel, and the multiple of pieces of label information of the target image are obtained simultaneously, thereby achieving the purpose of labeling multiple labels for one target image, and further improving the flexibility and accuracy of image moderation.

It should be noted that, in the disclosure, when recognizing whether the multiple pieces of label information include label information excluded by the service vertical category, it may be recognized whether the multiple pieces of label information include the label information excluded by the service vertical category based on a launch strategy corresponding to the service vertical category.

As a possible implementation, as illustrated inFIG. 6, on the basis of the above embodiments, the process of recognizing whether the multiple pieces of label information include the label information excluded by the service vertical category at block S104includes the following in detail.

At block S301, a launch strategy of the service vertical category is obtained. The launch strategy at least includes the label information excluded by the service vertical category.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, a user may upload the launch strategy of the service vertical category. Correspondingly, the launch strategy of the service vertical category may be received, and the label information excluded by the service vertical category is extracted.

At block S302, it is recognized whether the multiple pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category based on the launch strategy.

It should be noted that, when any piece of label information of the target image or a part of any piece of label information is the label information excluded by the service vertical category, it is recognized that the label information excluded by the service vertical category is contained in the multiple pieces of label information.

For example, the label information excluded by the teaching vertical category is sexy. At this time, if obtained label information of the target image is a sexy football baby or a sexy female teacher, both the recognition results are that the label information excluded by the teaching vertical category are contained.

With the image moderation method according to embodiments of the disclosure, the launch strategy of the service vertical category may be obtained. The launch strategy at least includes the label information excluded by the service vertical category. It is recognized whether the multiple pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category based on the launch strategy. In this way, with the disclosure, it may be flexibly recognized whether the multiple pieces of label information of the target image contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category based on the launch strategies corresponding to different service vertical categories, thereby dynamically moderating whether the target image is a forbidden image for different service vertical categories, obtaining different moderation results of the target image under the multiple service vertical categories, and further improving the flexibility and accuracy of image moderation.

It should be noted that, in the disclosure, in order to analyze the target image more comprehensively, on the basis of obtaining the multiple pieces of label information of the target image, text information in the target image may also be extracted, and then it is recognized whether the target image is a forbidden image in the service vertical category based on the multiple pieces of label information in combination with the text information of the target image.

As a possible implementation, as illustrated inFIG. 7, on the basis of the above embodiments, the process of recognizing whether the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category includes the following in detail.

At block S401, the text information in the target image is extracted.

In some embodiments, when the text information is extracted from the target image, an optical character recognition (OCR) method may be adopted to extract the text information from the target image, to obtain the text information of the target image.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 8, the text information in the target image may be extracted by the OCR method, to obtain the text information of the target image such as 2014 (year) 15-1, Brasil 15-2, FIFA WORD CUP 15-3 and THE WORLD CUP DREAM TEAM 15-4.

It should be noted that, when the text information is extracted from the target image, the anchor text information in a link may also be obtained by the OCR method in a case that the target image contains information such as the link.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 9, the text information in the target image may be extracted by the OCR method to obtain the text information of the target image such as 2014 (year) 15-1, Brasil 15-2, FIFA WORD CUP 15-3, THE WORLD CUP DREAM TEAM 15-4 and an anchor text “Click to enter” 15-5.

At block S402, it is recognized whether the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category based on the text information and the multiple pieces of label information.

In some embodiments, the obtained text information and the multiple of pieces of label information may be compared with the label information excluded by the service vertical category. When it is recognized that the obtained text information or the multiple of pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category, the target image is checked as the forbidden image in the service vertical category. When it is recognized that neither the obtained text information nor the multiple of pieces of label information contains the label information excluded by the service vertical category, it is moderated that the target image is a qualified image in the service vertical category.

With the image moderation method according to embodiments of the disclosure, the text information is extracted from the target image, and it is recognized whether the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category based on the text information and the multiple pieces of label information. In this way, with the disclosure, by extracting the text information from the target image, it is recognized whether the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category based on the multiple pieces of label information of the target image in combination with the text information of the target image, such that the target image may be analyzed more comprehensively and accurately, and the flexibility and accuracy of image moderation are further improved.

FIG. 10is a flow chart according to a fifth embodiment of the disclosure. As illustrated inFIG. 10, on the basis of the above embodiments, the image moderation method may include the following.

At block S501, a target image to be moderated is obtained.

At block S502, segmentation is performed on the target image to obtain at least one image segment.

At block S503, image recognition is performed on the image segment to obtain a recognition channel corresponding to the image segment.

At block S504, the image segment is inputted into the recognition channel, and the image segment is labeled by a recognition model corresponding to the recognition channel to obtain multiple pieces of information of the target image.

At block S505, text information is extracted from the target image to obtain the text information of the target image.

At block S506, at least one service vertical category to which the target image is to be launched is obtained.

At block S507, a launch strategy of the vertical service category is obtained. The launch strategy at least includes label information excluded by the service vertical category.

At block S508, it is recognized whether the target image is a forbidden image in the service vertical category based on the launch strategy, the multiple pieces of label information and the text information.

In some embodiments, when it is recognized that the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category, the action at block S509may be executed. When it is recognized that the target image is a non-forbidden image in the service vertical category, the action at block S510may be executed.

At block S509, a recognition result is outputted.

It should be noted that, when the recognition result is outputted, text information or speech information such as “the picture is forbidden” or “the picture does not pass the moderation” may be outputted. Furthermore, while the recognition result is outputted, a reason why it is recognized that the target image is forbidden may also be outputted, to help the user replace the target image pertinently. For example, a prompt such as “This picture contains pornographic information and belongs to a forbidden image” may also be outputted.

At block S510, at least one launch position of the service vertical category is obtained, and the target image is launched at one of the at least one launch position.

In some embodiments, in a case that the target image is recognized to be the non-forbidden image in the service vertical category, the at least one launch position of the service vertical category may be obtained, and an instruction for opening the launch position is issued to launch the target image at one of the at least one launch position.

For an application scene of automatic image moderation, after a target image is obtained by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, labeling and text information extraction may be automatically performed on the target image by natural language processing technologies in combination with computer vision technologies. Then it may be recognized whether the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category based on the multiple pieces of label information and the text information to implement automatic moderation on the image. In this way, the process of automatic image moderation no longer depends on any manual intervention. The complete and thorough dynamic automatic image moderation may be implemented for different service vertical categories. The efficiency and accuracy of automatic image moderation is improved. The labor cost is greatly reduced.

For an application scene of a short video application, a target image uploaded by a user through a terminal such as a smart phone may be obtained, and labeling and text information extraction may be automatically performed on the target image. Then it is recognized whether the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category based on the multiple pieces of label information and the text information. Furthermore, when it is recognized that the target image uploaded by the user is the forbidden image, the reason why the target image is recognized as the forbidden image may be outputted while a recognition result is outputted, to help the user change the target image pertinently. In this way, a risk of the user failing to launch the target image as scheduled due to not familiar with an image moderation rule of the service vertical category or even being punished may be significantly reduced. Meanwhile, positive guidance for user's image uploading habit under the service vertical category are provided, which greatly improves the user experience

With the image moderation method according to embodiments of the disclosure, the target image to be moderated may be obtained. The target image is labeled to obtain the multiple pieces of label information of the target image. The at least one service vertical category to which the target image is to be launched is obtained. It is recognized whether the multiple pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category. It is determined that the target image is the forbidden image in the service vertical category in a case that the multiple pieces of label information contain the label information excluded by the service vertical category, thereby implementing moderation processing for the image. In this way, with the disclosure, by obtaining the multiple pieces of label information of the target image at the same time, it may be dynamically moderated for different service vertical categories whether the target image is forbidden, different moderation results of the target image under the multiple service vertical categories are obtained, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of image moderation, and achieving the purpose of appropriate image moderation for different service vertical categories.
