Porn Detection USB Stick Detects Illicit Images Automatically

Tweet

If you’re silly enough to view store porn imagery at work then, unless you work from home, its time to be very afraid as Paraben Corporation has just started shipping their Porn Detection Stick USB thumb drive which uses advanced image analyzing algorithms to scan hard drives and find illicit images – which it’ll duly move to ‘suspect’ and ‘highly suspect’ folders.

The Paraben Corporation Porn Detection Stick USB thumb drive, which is specifically being aimed at employers, schools, churches and parents, is said to be capable of finding around 99% of non-pornographic images on a system’s hard drive with those it deems as being dubious being flagged for inspection and Paraben claim that the Porn Detection Stick can search an entire 500GB HDD containing over 70,000 images in a mere hour and a half. Oh, and it’ll find deleted images too (as long as the image data hasn’t been directly over-written).

According to Paraben, “The Porn Detection Stick has implemented a number of methods and algorithms to analyze each image to determine if it may be pornographic in nature. Image Cleanup – within virtual memory, the software cleans up the image for optimum analysis. Skin Detection – this identifies skin tones and texture within the image. Background Elimination – this eliminates background objects from foreground objects so background objects don’t skew the results. Edge Detection – identifies the edges of objects. Body Part Separation – separates body parts into separate masses. Negative Curvature Rejection – eliminates objects with negative curves. Elimination – eliminates other objects. Face Detection – identifies faces within the image. Body Part Layout Decision – maps body part distribution and image layout. Decision – classifies image based on data.”

The Porn Detection Stick is available now for just shy of $99.
