Adult Image Detection Based on AdaBoost

In this paper, a method of detecting adult images based on AdaBoost was proposed. We focused on the detection of the adult images that have naked breasts or naked genitalia. By using basic and rotated Haar-like features extracted from the samples in the training set, we trained a cascade detector. The detector would classify the image whether to be a pornographic one or not. The results showed that this method achieved a high detection rate and a low false alarm rate.
