So-called Chinese "image understanding software publisher" Yang’s Scientific Research Institute is launching software that can detect porn in images and videos on the web.
The company says it is better than software that relies solely on HTML or flesh tones and curves, which it alleges is "not robust at all." The detection software, called PNWatch is based on what the firm calls Physical Linguistic Vision technologies.
The site goes into graphic and explicit detail showing barely-pixelated pornography images in its case studies. It advantage is that it won’t block clean content.
“Only when some objectionable contents appear on the pictures that we can categorize them into pornography, otherwise, many innocent pictures might be blocked mistakenly,” Yang’s Chief Scientist Tao Yang told the press. (December 02, 2005, Tucson, Arizona, USA.)
