A unique model that sees the beauty* of user-generated photos like a human, but gives an objective score to every image instantly and without any doubt

The new neural network UGC Photo Scoring was designed to evaluate the aesthetics and technical quality of user-generated photos (taken both by a professional camera and by a smartphone) to help developers with content moderation.

* Note: The algorithm doesn't estimate the plot and does not measure how cool or beautiful a person or an object on a photo may look. The service is not intended for scoring historical photos, illustrations, or 3D visualizations.

Estimation parameters for this model were established by a group of 10 professional photographers.

347,000

It was trained on 347,000 user Instagram photos.

How UGC Photo Scoring works

0 — 20%

Very bad photos are photos with unbalanced composition, unfocused, and overexposed. It includes photos which are too blurred, as well as screenshots of text messages and unattractive collages.

20 — 40%

The “bad” category consists of everyday shots. These photos primitively capture the surrounding reality and have a low technical quality.

40 — 60%

Average photos make up the bulk of Instagram user content. Some author try to do their best: they look for a view and impose filters. The photo can be nice, but we can still see that they are not professionals.

60 — 80%

Good images look like typical Insta blogger’s photography. Staged photos with thoughtful composition, use of filters or retouching, and without technical flaws.

80 — 100%

Excellent images are professional photos made without flaws.

Documentation

After authentication you will gain an access to the UGC Photo Scoring model. To make a request, an Image should be specified by its URL or uploaded with multipart form by parameter 'data'.

/quality_ugc

Image should be specified by its url or uploaded with multipart form by parameter 'data'. You should use, respectively, GET and POST methods.

The response will contain the aesthetics score and quality class given by the algorithm to the image. You will also get an answer regarding the status of the request.

curl --user "<your-client-id>:<your-client-secret>" "https://api.everypixel.com/v1/quality_ugc?url=http://image.everypixel.com/2014.12/67439828186edc79b9be81a4dedea8b03c09a12825b_b.jpg"

client_id = '<your-client-id>'
client_secret = '<your-client-secret>'
params = {'url': 'http://image.everypixel.com/2014.12/67439828186edc79b9be81a4dedea8b03c09a12825b_b.jpg'}
quality = requests.get('https://api.everypixel.com/v1/quality_ugc', params=params, auth=(client_id, client_secret)).json()

with open('image.jpg','rb') as image:
    data = {'data': image}
    quality = requests.post('https://api.everypixel.com/v1/quality_ugc', files=data, auth=(client_id, client_secret)).json()

$authorization = "<your-client-id>" . ":" . "<your-client-secret>";
$url = "https://api.everypixel.com/v1/quality_ugc?url=http://image.everypixel.com/2014.12/67439828186edc79b9be81a4dedea8b03c09a12825b_b.jpg";

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $authorization);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

$json = json_decode($data);

And the answer would be:

{
  "quality": {
    "score": 0.5947988033294678,
    "class": 3
  },
  "status": "ok"
}
