Abstract
A method for adult content classification and nudity detection is presented. Objective of this method is to classify images into different classes, varying on the degree of adult content. We utilize MPEG-7 descriptors to represent visual information. Skin regions are detected to model adult content more precisely, as well as to eliminate false-positives. Proposed method is tested with conventional image sets. Experimental results indicate that the algorithm has an acceptable detection performance.
