Abstract
The method uses several steps to collect, analyze, compare, and flag an image for inappropriate content. The image is first collected based on detection and is analyzed via a database of inappropriate images. The collected image is scanned for skin-tone and/or texture, then the method eliminates the background of the image. The method then analyzes the curvature of the image. The next step is body part detection for inappropriate body parts. The image is then given a score based on all of the above steps. If the score is above a point, the image is flagged. If it is below a preselected point, the image is released. If the score is between the two points, it is withheld for further analysis.
