Client-side indecent content checking

A simple JavaScript library to help you quickly identify unseemly images; all in the client's browser. NSFWJS isn't perfect, but it's pretty accurate (~90% with small and ~93% with midsized model)... and it's getting more accurate all the time.

Why would this be useful? Check out the announcement blog post.

The library categorizes image probabilities in the following 5 classes:

• Drawing - safe for work drawings (including anime)
• Hentai - hentai and pornographic drawings
• Neutral - safe for work neutral images
• Porn - pornographic images, sexual acts
• Sexy - sexually explicit images, not pornography

QUICK: How to use the module

With async/await support:

import * as nsfwjs from "nsfwjs";

const img = document.getElementById("img");

// If you want to host models on your own or use different model from the ones available, see the section "Host your own model".
const model = await nsfwjs.load();

// Classify the image
const predictions = await model.classify(img);
console.log("Predictions: ", predictions);

Without async/await support:

import * as nsfwjs from "nsfwjs";

const img = document.getElementById("img");

// If you want to host models on your own or use different model from the ones available, see the section "Host your own model".
nsfwjs
  .load()
  .then(function (model) {
    // Classify the image
    return model.classify(img);
  })
  .then(function (predictions) {
    console.log("Predictions: ", predictions);
  });

Library API

load the model

Before you can classify any image, you'll need to load the model.

const model = nsfwjs.load(); // Default: "MobileNetV2"

You can use the optional first parameter to specify which model you want to use from the three that are bundled together. Defaults to: "MobileNetV2". This supports tree-shaking on supported bundlers like Webpack, so you will only be loading the model you are using.

const model = nsfwjs.load("MobileNetV2Mid"); // "MobileNetV2" | "MobileNetV2Mid" | "InceptionV3"

You can also use same parameter and load the model from your website/server, as explained in the Host your own model section. Doing so could reduce the bundle size for loading the model by approximately 1.33 times (33%) since you can directly use the binary files instead of the base64 that are bundled with the package. i.e. The "MobileNetV2" model bundled into the package is 3.5MB instead of 2.6MB for hosted binary files. This would only make a difference if you are loading the model every time (without Caching) on the client-side browser since on the server-side, you'd only be loading the model once at the server start.

Model MobileNetV2 - 224x224

const model = nsfwjs.load("/path/to/model/directory/");

If you're using a model that needs an image of dimension other than 224x224, you can pass the size in the options parameter.

Model MobileNetV2Mid - 299x299

const model = nsfwjs.load("/path/to/different/model/", { size: 299 });

If you're using a graph model, you cannot use the infer method, and you'll need to tell model load that you're dealing with a graph model in options.

Model InceptionV3 - Graph

const model = nsfwjs.load("/path/to/different/model/", { type: "graph" });

Caching

If you're using in the browser and you'd like to subsequently load from indexed db or local storage you can save the underlying model using the appropriate scheme and load from there.

const initialLoad = await nsfwjs.load(
  "/path/to/different/model" /*{ ...options }*/
);
await initialLoad.model.save("indexeddb://model");
const model = await nsfwjs.load("indexeddb://model" /*{ ...options }*/);

Parameters

• optional URL to the model.json folder.
• optional object with size property that your model expects.

Returns

• Ready to use NSFWJS model object

classify an image

This function can take any browser-based image elements (<img>, <video>, <canvas>) and returns an array of most likely predictions and their confidence levels.

// Return top 3 guesses (instead of all 5)
const predictions = await model.classify(img, 3);

Parameters

• Tensor, Image data, Image element, video element, or canvas element to check
• Number of results to return (default all 5)

Returns

• Array of objects that contain className and probability. Array size is determined by the second parameter in the classify function.

Production

Tensorflow.js offers two flags, enableProdMode and enableDebugMode. If you're going to use NSFWJS in production, be sure to enable prod mode before loading the NSFWJS model.

import * as tf from "@tensorflow/tfjs";
import * as nsfwjs from "nsfwjs";
tf.enableProdMode();
//...
let model = await nsfwjs.load(`${urlToNSFWJSModel}`);

NOTE: Consider downloading and hosting the model yourself before moving to production as explained in the Host your own model section. This could potentially improve the initial load time of the model. Furthermore, consider Caching the model, if you are using it in the browser.

Install

NSFWJS is powered by TensorFlow.js as a peer dependency. If your project does not already have TFJS you'll need to add it.

# peer dependency
$ yarn add @tensorflow/tfjs
# install NSFWJS
$ yarn add nsfwjs

For script tags include all the bundles as shown here. Then simply access the nsfwjs global variable. This requires that you've already imported TensorFlow.js as well.

Host your own model

The magic that powers NSFWJS is the NSFW detection model. By default, the models are bundled into this package. But you may want to host the models on your own server to reduce bundle size by loading them as raw binary files or to host your own custom model. If you want to host your own version of the model files, you can do so by following the steps below. You can then pass the relative URL to your hosted files in the load function along with the options if necessary.

Here is how to install the default model on a website:

1. Download the project by either downloading as zip or cloning git clone https://github.com/infinitered/nsfwjs.git. If downloading as zip does not work use cloning.
2. Extract the models folder from the root of the project and drop it in the public directory of your web application to serve them as static files along side your website. (You can host it anywhere such as on a s3 bucket as long as you can access it via URL).
3. Retrieve the URL and put it into nsfwjs.load(). For example: nsfwjs.load(https://yourwebsite.com/models/mobilenet_v2/model.json).

Run the Examples

Tensorflow.js in the browser

The demo that powers https://nsfwjs.com/ is available in the examples/nsfw_demo folder.

To run the demo, run yarn prep which will copy the latest code into the demo. After that's done, you can cd into the demo folder and run with yarn start.

Browserify

A browserified version using nothing but promises and script tags is available in the minimal_demo folder.

You should host the nsfwjs.min.js file and all the model bundles that you want to use alongside your project, and reference them using the src attribute in the script tags.

React Native

The NSFWJS React Native app

Loads a local copy of the model to reduce network load and utilizes TFJS-React-Native. Blog Post

Node JS App

Using NPM, you can also use the model on the server side.

$ npm install nsfwjs
$ npm install @tensorflow/tfjs-node

const axios = require("axios"); //you can use any http client
const tf = require("@tensorflow/tfjs-node");
const nsfw = require("nsfwjs");
async function fn() {
  const pic = await axios.get(`link-to-picture`, {
    responseType: "arraybuffer",
  });
  const model = await nsfw.load(); // To load a local model, nsfw.load('file://./path/to/model/')
  // Image must be in tf.tensor3d format
  // you can convert image to tf.tensor3d with tf.node.decodeImage(Uint8Array,channels)
  const image = await tf.node.decodeImage(pic.data, 3);
  const predictions = await model.classify(image);
  image.dispose(); // Tensor memory must be managed explicitly (it is not sufficient to let a tf.Tensor go out of scope for its memory to be released).
  console.log(predictions);
}
fn();

Here is another full example of a multipart/form-data POST using Express, supposing you are using JPG format.

const express = require("express");
const multer = require("multer");
const jpeg = require("jpeg-js");

const tf = require("@tensorflow/tfjs-node");
const nsfw = require("nsfwjs");

const app = express();
const upload = multer();

let _model;

const convert = async (img) => {
  // Decoded image in UInt8 Byte array
  const image = await jpeg.decode(img, { useTArray: true });

  const numChannels = 3;
  const numPixels = image.width * image.height;
  const values = new Int32Array(numPixels * numChannels);

  for (let i = 0; i < numPixels; i++)
    for (let c = 0; c < numChannels; ++c)
      values[i * numChannels + c] = image.data[i * 4 + c];

  return tf.tensor3d(values, [image.height, image.width, numChannels], "int32");
};

app.post("/nsfw", upload.single("image"), async (req, res) => {
  if (!req.file) res.status(400).send("Missing image multipart/form-data");
  else {
    const image = await convert(req.file.buffer);
    const predictions = await _model.classify(image);
    image.dispose();
    res.json(predictions);
  }
});

const load_model = async () => {
  _model = await nsfw.load();
};

// Keep the model in memory, make sure it's loaded only once
load_model().then(() => app.listen(8080));

// curl --request POST localhost:8080/nsfw --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' --data-binary 'image=@/full/path/to/picture.jpg'

You can also use lovell/sharp for preprocessing tasks and more file formats.
