Image Analysis Software Capable of Detecting Porn

NEW DELHI, India — Visesh Infotecnics Ltd., a New Delhi-based infotech software firm, and U.S.-based Cyberworks Software have teamed up to offer image analysis software that is capable of detecting offensive images on PCs and wireless devices.

The companies’ Image Analyzer detects “offensive visual content on hard-drives in digital data transmission and in real time downloads to servers, personal computers, mobile phones, iPods or USB jump drives and other mass storage devices,” the company told the Bombay Stock Exchange.

The software is also trained to identify images received from websites, emails and peer-to-peer file sharing in real-time.

“The massive proliferation of pornography in the workplace and amongst youth is a major problem and a costly one in the Asian market,” Sanjiv Bhavnani, CEO of Visesh Infotecnics, said. “It reduces productivity in the workplace, encourages sexual harassment and exposes CEOs to serious legal liability and criminal proceedings.”

Image Analyzer differs from other image recognition software in that it does not rely on lists of previously identified offensive images. No other details were made available as to the companies’ methodology for employing image identification analysis or how offensive and inappropriate images are defined.

“Image Analyzer technology offers a clear value add to IT security vendors,” Cyberworks President Vivek Burhanpurkar said. “The alliance with Visesh will now give us the ability to engage at the correct level and achieve the penetration of the Asian market which the company has targeted.”

The software is currently available for license for original equipment manufacturers.

“We see this technology being incorporated on to every corporate server, iPod, GSM network and WiMax network across Asia,” Bhavnani said.
