An adult image recognizing algorithm based on naked body detection

Abstract

The nude image is an important part in adult images spreading on the Internet. A new recognizing algorithm of nude image based on the navel and body feature is proposed in this paper. The algorithm considers the naked body which is composed by trunk, limb and face as the object to be recognized. Body is taken as a combination of predefined key rectangles. The intersection of the key rectangles is the navel. Firstly, the algorithm recognizes the location of navel in an image. Then it constructs the feature vector of key rectangles. Finally, it classifies the features by Forward Propagation neural network to determine whether there is a naked body in the image or not. Experiments show that the algorithm can recognize nude images accurately, and the recognizing speed can satisfy the requirement of practical systems.
