Image file detection is a key step when running software scans to check your data
files for the presence of risque or other unwanted material. Online adult content
often takes the form of images, and in some cases purveyors of this type of content
store this material in a special folder so they can find them again. It is therefore
important for porn detectors to be able to class suspect and normal images, and show
them in a useful way for the user of the application to review. Treating images in
this way involves testing of the files to check whether porn files were found. The
first step is determining the ratio of skin colours in the image.
However finding
skin colors is hardly conclusive as everyday images sometimes do have color ranges
like that of skin. Hence if skin color is in fact present, further image tests should
be run to analyze them further, to separate the porn images from normal ones, including
identifying features, statistic evaluation, and a great many besides. When the scan
is complete the results are organized and tabulated for review by the operator.
Cleaning your PC which may contain offensive or similar materials, may be performed using one
of the many purpose designed software tools created for the job.
Many if not all of these hard disk cleanup utilities are intended to wash
pornographic files off of disks and also enhance hard disk performance. Working with
your favorite search engine you will soon select a suitable parental control software
that will have what you need to expose first, then clean up any pornographic data
flagged for deletion. Any of these (with some exceptions) undertake image recovery,
RealMedia format testing, disk drive scrubbing plus various other tests.
