System and method for detecting and redacting inappropriate images

Abstract

A method can include capturing, via a camera, an image for upload. The method further can include determining a polygon mask layer having one or more polygon masks for a user body in the image, comprising: (a) determining, via a body pose landmarking algorithm, key joint points for the user body based on joint landmarks defined in a configuration set; and (b) determining the polygon masks based on the key joint points and one or more regions of interest defined in the configuration set. The method additionally can include determining a skin mask layer with a skin mask for the image. The method also can include blending the one or more polygon masks and the skin mask into a final mask layer comprising a final mask for the image. The method further can include applying the final mask to the image. Other embodiments are disclosed.
