摘要
A novel approach is proposed to automatically detect pomographic images with skin-like color background on the Intemet using the locations of human faces and bodies. It has two separate skin-color detection steps： the first one is to quickly detect the potential human skin-color regions; and the second one is to use an off-the-shelf face detector to locate a human face and then apply hypothesis testing based on series of assumptions which take into account the face-height ratio, body orientation and modem photograph composition common sense, etc. After that, a template matching method is used to further discriminate normal images or pornographic ones. Experimental results show that the proposed method has high precision and real time speed.
