Automatic skin detection is a key enabler of various imaging applications, such as face detection, human tracking, and adult content filtering. In 1996, the first paper on identifying nude pictures was published. Since then, different researchers argue different color models to be the best choice for skin detection. But, to the best our knowledge, no siguificant work has been reported previously that attempted to use more than one color model and evaluate the performance for recoguizing adult contents. In this paper, a simple statistical framework for recoguizing adult images based on an MCSM (Multi-Color Skin Model) is described. From a high level, our approach works in two steps. First, skin regions in an input image are detected using the MCSM. Then these suspected regions are fed into a specialized geometrical analyzer that attempts to assemble a human figure using simple geometric shapes derived from human body structure. Quantitative evaluation shows that our method compares favorably with the state-of-the-art methods in terms of detection rate and false alarm, while reducing the computational complexity by a factor of 1/6 with respect to the Forsyth's method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
