The challenge

Millions of broker photos, none of them structured

Marketplaces take in millions of broker photos, and each one is an unstructured file. Faces, licence plates and watermarks create compliance risk, while the features buyers search for are never recorded.

Manual review is too slow and too expensive at that volume, so the engine has to read indoor and outdoor scenes across varied lighting and cameras in well under a second.

What we built

Detection and segmentation for listing photos

One pass per image returns both the feature tags and the compliance flags.

1/4Fine-tuned detection and segmentation models read the scene: room type, fixtures, finishes and furniture.

Listing photos arrive as unstructured files. The pipeline reads each one in about 250 milliseconds: what room it is, what is in it, and whether anything in the frame breaks listing rules.

The impact

Moderation stops being a manual job

  • 50+ features tagged per photo
  • 15+ compliance violation types detected
  • ~250ms per image
  • 15% lift in buyer click-through

Over 50 property features are tagged automatically and more than 15 compliance violation types are flagged, which removed most manual moderation.

Richer tagging improved listing quality and search relevance, with a 15% lift in buyer click-through rates.
