Method for removing moderated content from a video streaming platform

A method comprising:

• accessing a video comprising a set of mezzanine segments;
• and
• at a first time, for a first mezzanine segment in the set of mezzanine segments:
• extracting a first frame in a first resolution from the first mezzanine segment;
• converting the first frame into a first representative image in a second resolution less than the first resolution;
• serving the first representative image to an image processing model for detection of moderated content in the first representative image;
• and
• in response to the image processing model returning failure to detect moderated content in the first representative image:
• initiating transcoding of the first mezzanine segment, in the set of mezzanine segments, into a first rendition segment in a first rendition;
• and
• enabling distribution of the first rendition segment to a video player.

A method comprising:

• accessing a video comprising a set of mezzanine segments;
• for each mezzanine segment in the set of mezzanine segments:
• extracting a frame in a first resolution from the mezzanine segment;
• converting the frame into a representative image, in a set of representative images, in a second resolution less than the first resolution;
• and
• serving the representative image to an image processing model for detection of moderated content in the representative image;
• and
• in response to the image processing model returning failure to detect moderated content in each representative image in the set of representative images:
• initiating transcoding of each mezzanine segment, in the set of mezzanine segments, into a first rendition segment, in a set of rendition segments, in a first rendition;
• and
• enabling distribution of the set of rendition segments to a video player.
