Pretrained computer vision classifier

Identify open or closed windows with one API call.

A pretrained open or closed windows classifier that sorts an image into one of 2 categories. Use the open or closed windows API immediately, no training required, then adapt it to your own data when you need more.

What this open or closed windows classifier recognizes

A sample of the 2 labels this pretrained classifier chooses between.

Open Window
Closed Window

Need a label that isn't here? Clone the classifier into your Nyckel console and edit the label set to fit your data.

Call the open or closed windows API

Once you've added this classifier to your console, you get your own copy of it behind your own endpoint. Invoke it with any HTTP client:

curl

curl -X POST "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYCKEL_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}'

Python

import requests

# Get an access token: https://www.nyckel.com/docs/api/overview/authentication/
token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

response = requests.post(
    "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + token},
    json={"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"},
)
print(response.json())

Example response

{
  "labelName": "Open Window",
  "labelId": "label_...",
  "confidence": 0.92
}

Under the hood

Model type
Nyckel-trained

Trained on a Nyckel-curated dataset covering 2 open or closed windows categories, served on Nyckel's own infrastructure — your image stays on Nyckel.

Input
Image

Send an image URL or file to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.

Make it yours
Adaptable

Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.

More than a demo: this page is one of thousands of pretrained functions on Nyckel, an ML classification platform. You can invoke classifiers by API, review predictions, correct labels, collect samples from production traffic, and promote any pretrained function to a private custom model — without changing your integration.

Where teams use open or closed windows classification

Building Security Assessment

Security companies can use this feature to automatically monitor the images of a property they are securing. They would be notified when windows are detected as open, potentially indicating a breach in security.

Energy Efficiency Evaluation

Energy evaluators can make use of this function to analyze images of a building's windows, determining if they are left open unintentionally and contributing to energy loss.

Home Automation System

This function can be integrated into a home automation software. If a window is detected as open, the air conditioning could be turned off automatically to save energy.

Insurance Claim Validation

Insurance companies can utilize this function to validate claims related to theft or damage. By analyzing images, they can verify if windows were left open and potentially led to the incident.

Estate Agent Property Evaluation

Real estate agents can use this feature when doing property evaluations to ensure that all windows are closed for security and energy efficiency reasons, which could affect the property value.

Property Maintenance Inspection

This function can be used by property managers to inspect routine maintenance. Open windows can potentially let in moisture or pests, leading to damage over time.

Smart Hotel Management

In hospitality, hotel managers can use this feature to ensure rooms are secure and energy efficient when unoccupied. If any windows are open, staff can be alerted to close them, increasing energy savings and guest security.

Common questions

What's the difference between a zero-shot and a Nyckel-trained classifier?

A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.

How do I know whether this will work for my application?

Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of images in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.

What happens when it makes a mistake?

No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.

Do I need training data to get started?

No. This open or closed windows classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.

What does it cost to try?

Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.

Ready to classify open or closed windows at scale?

Add this pretrained classifier to your Nyckel console — you'll get a live API endpoint in under a minute, and a path to a custom model when you need one.
