Detecting Nudity With AI and OpenCV

Take one face detector from OpenCV and use it to find a nose. Take the skin color from the nose and then see what parts of the body are skin colored in the photo. If there is lot of skin color shout NUDE! Actually, the website lets you put in your own photos and classifies them into Rude or Good and gives you a confidence estimate. Obama with his top off — no problem but the familiar image processing test photo of Lena the pin up girl rates a 'Rude'.

    Take the skin color from the nose..

    That ain't a nose!

    I'm glad that AI has learned to spot tits. I'm sure this will only be used for moral purposes, like enforcing our ban on nipples that are on a chick (biological or trans), or a dude who has chick breasts (as in to win a bet). Everyone knows that nipples rot the minds of children, which in why they cannot speak until after weaning. It's science!

    It is my fondest hope that our robot overlords appreciate a nice rack. That will make the slaving in the rare earth mines a little more tolerable, at least.

    If there's one thing I'd rather do myself than to delegate to an AI, it would be nude detection.
