¶ pornographic research Posted 20 years, 7 months ago on May 2, 2005
AKA: how to spend your days looking at pornography, calling it research, and getting it published.

While researching ways to approach my final project for my computer vision class, I stumbled across this gem. It's a paper published in 1996 in the European Conference on Computer Vison that describes a technique for detecting naked people in images. By analyzing color and texture properties to determine skin regions and fit candidate images to structural models, they made a pretty good porno-detector.
