Abstract

In this article, we develop an integrated adult-content recognition system which can detect adult images, adult videos, and adult Web page bags, where a Web page bag consists of a Web page and a predefined number of Web pages linked to it through hyperlinks. In our adult image-recognition algorithm, we model skin patches rather than skin pixels, resulting in better results than state-of-the-art algorithms which model skin pixels. In our adult video-recognition algorithm, information from the accompanying audio section around an image in an adult video is used to obtain a prior classification of the image. The algorithm achieves a better performance than the ones which use image information alone or audio information alone. The adult Web page bag recognition is carried out using multi-instance learning based on the combination of classifying texts, images and videos in Web pages. Both the speed and the accuracy for recognizing the Web adult content are increased, in contrast to recognizing Web pages one-by-one.

Collaborative expression representation using peak expression and intra class variation face images for practical subject-independent emotion recognition in videos

This paper proposes a facial expression recognition (FER) method in videos. The proposed method automatically selects the peak expression face from a video sequence using closeness of the face to the neutral expression. The severely non-frontal faces ...
