Abstract

The unavailability of a pornographic image database has been an impediment for automated detection of child pornographic images. Beyond data confidentiality and privacy issues, even mere possession of such images is illegal in many countries. In this paper, these issues are addressed for skin tone detection, which is an essential component for filtering pornographic images. A pornographic image is encrypted using order preserving encryption, randomization, and permutation. Skin pixels are detected from the encrypted image in the encrypted domain without revealing the image content. Experiments and analysis show that the proposed scheme has low overhead and no degradation in detection accuracy.
