- DESCRIPTION
- Detect adult content within a video. Adult content is content generally
appropriate for 18 years of age and older, including but not limited to nudity,
sexual activities, and pornography (including cartoons or anime).
The response includes a bucketized likelihood value, from VERY_UNLIKELY to VERY_LIKELY. When Explicit Content Detection evaluates a video, it does so on a per-frame basis and considers visual content only (not audio).
- EXAMPLES
- To detect explicit content in a video file named
'gs://my_bucket/input_file.mp4', run the following command.:
gcloud ml video detect-explicit-content gs://my_bucket/input_file.mp4 - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

-
--output-uri=OUTPUT_URI - Location to which the results should be written. Must be a Google Cloud Storage URI.

h,mors) are required. Microseconds can be specified using fractional seconds e.g. 0.000569s == 569 microseconds.Examples:
