Face Filter Detection

Overview

Our Face Filter Detection API determines whether or not an image contains a face filter, or virtual elements are used to decorate or distort someone’s face. Face filters are popular on social media sites like TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram and can take a variety of forms. The classes for this model make the distinction between distortive face filters, where the facial features are changed, and non-distortive face filters, where items like hearts or glasses are put over the face.

Detailed Class Descriptions

distorting_face_filter: the image contains a face filter that changes the facial features, such as:

• Images where part of the face is stretched or shrunk
• Images with filters that recreate the face in a different style, i.e. animated Disney or anime character

non_distorting_face_filter: the image contains a face filter that does not change the facial features, such as:

• Images with filters that add glasses, hats, or other accessories to the person without altering their face
• Images with filters that add emojis or other symbols such as hearts on a face, i.e. on cheeks
• Images that add minimal makeup to a face without drastically changing any facial features

no_face_filter: the image does not contain any face filter. Includes:

• Images with text overlay that is fully or partially over someone’s face
• Images where someone is wearing exaggerated makeup that is not a filter
