SilverAIDetect wires, cables and lines and return a mask for the Remove Wires API.
Wire Detection is an image analysis model that locates wires, cables, and thin line structures in a photo and returns a precise mask covering exactly those regions. It is built for the first stage of power-line and cable-removal pipelines, where you need to know where the wires are before deciding what to remove. Instead of guessing, the model produces a pixel-accurate RGBA mask that isolates even faint, hair-thin lines stretched across the sky or against busy backgrounds.
The detection output is designed to flow directly into the Remove Wires API. The returned mask can be passed as the input_mask parameter to that endpoint, either as-is or after manual touch-ups in your own editor. This separation of detection and removal gives you full control: you can review the mask, refine it, and only then trigger the actual inpainting step. The result is a reliable, auditable workflow for cleaning up overhead lines, telephone cables, and other distracting linear elements.
Pixel-precise thin-line masks: Captures hair-thin wires and long, low-contrast cables that conventional segmentation models miss.
Long-line awareness: Tracks continuous lines spanning the full width or height of an image without breaking the mask.
RGBA mask output: Returns a base64 RGBA PNG mask that can be previewed, edited, or composited before use.
Pairs with Remove Wires: The mask plugs straight into the Remove Wires API as input_mask for a clean detect-then-remove pipeline.
Editable by design: Masks are meant to be reviewed and manually refined, giving you control over exactly what gets removed.
Background-robust detection: Distinguishes wires from poles, branches, and architectural edges across varied scenes.

Use Cases
Act as the critical bridge in your image cleanup pipeline, translating visual detection into actionable data for flawless, hands-off utility line removal.
Property photos often contain power lines, utility cables, and overhead wires that distract from the property itself. The Wire Detection API automatically identifies these elements, allowing real estate platforms and photographers to generate cleaner listing photos that focus attention on the home rather than surrounding infrastructure.
Photo editing platforms can use Wire Detection as the first stage of a fully automated wire-removal workflow. The generated mask provides precise control over what gets removed, helping deliver cleaner results while reducing accidental edits to buildings, trees, and other important objects.
Platforms processing large batches of images can use Wire Detection as a programmatic first step, automatically generating masks at scale and routing them to the Remove Wires API for hands-off, end-to-end cable cleanup.
