The present invention relates to a method for determining an obscene image and an apparatus thereof, and more particularly, to extract a skin color of an image file or a video file stored in or to be stored in a database linked with a server, and to calculate a ratio value of the image. Using a machine learning method based on the feature values of the file, a classification value indicating whether the image file is obscene is calculated, and the level of obsceneness of the image file is given based on the ratio of the skin color and the obscene classification value. The present invention relates to a method for determining an obscene image and a device, characterized in that final determining whether or not the image file to which the obscurity level has been assigned is in accordance with predetermined criteria for determining obsceneness.

The recent rapid spread of the Internet has made it easier for many people to access and use the Internet from anywhere in the world. According to this generalization of the Internet, Internet users can easily obtain the information they need from the Internet, but it also causes many social problems due to the characteristics of the Internet represented by the rapid spreading and anonymity of information.

Among these problems, the field that has been pointed out as a representative problem due to the Internet is the spread of obscene information through the Internet. You can easily download pornographic image files such as commercial nude photos and pornographic video files such as porn, hardcore, and sneak shots by accessing web sites such as pornography sites and P2P sites that exist on the Internet. Indeed, such pornography harms the mental health of adults and encourages socially unhealthy sex cultures, as well as dysfunctional sexual disabilities, especially in the growing youth.

As a method of blocking sexually explicit image files or video files among pornographic material on the Internet which includes many problems as described above, a still picture file of an image file or a video file as disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2006-1830 The technique of grasping the skin color information of a person to read how much the skin color occupies on the screen and blocks obscene image files according to the ratio has been known.

However, as described above, the method of determining a lewd image file by identifying only the skin color information of a person includes a photo of a face area, a photo of a person's clothes including a skin color, a photo not including a person but a skin color. There is a problem that cannot be read accurately, as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2006-28853, when determining whether the skin color is present in the skin region or more than the threshold value when determining the lewdness of the image, and then the skin color is below the threshold value It is determined that there is no lewdness, and extracts a feature vector containing skin color information and appearance information only when the skin color exists above a threshold value, and utilizes it as a support vector machine (SVM) discriminator to compare it with the SVM learning model. The images classified through the learning model can If that whether there is a technique for determining the image to sexually explicit images is introduced.

However, the above method estimates this only as pornography when the skin color exists above the threshold considered to be pornography, and performs the classification of pornography using the next step SVM. There is still a problem that can not be recognized, there is a problem that the accuracy of discriminating obscene images is inferior.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems. The present invention is a method for determining whether or not pornographic image files and video files are indecent, by combining skin color determination methods and classification methods of pornographic images using machine learning methods such as SVM. There is a technical problem to provide a method and apparatus for determining an obscene image that can more accurately discriminate between obscene images and moving image files.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for discriminating obscene image files, by extracting skin color from an image file, calculating a ratio value thereof, and using a machine learning technique based on feature values of the image file. Calculating a lewdness classification value indicating whether or not the lewdness is an image file, giving a lewdness level of the image file based on the ratio value of the skin color and the lewdness classification value, and setting a lewdness based on the lewdness level And finally determining whether or not the image file to which the lewdness level has been given has been determined according to the criterion.

In addition, the apparatus for determining an obscene image file of the present invention is an apparatus for determining whether an image file or a video file which is to be stored in a database linked to a server or to be stored therein is at least one image file sequentially from the server. Using an input unit for input, a skin color ratio determination unit for extracting the skin color from the image file input to the input unit and calculating the ratio value, and a machine learning method based on feature values of the image file input to the image file input unit A classification unit for calculating a classification value indicating whether or not the image file is obscene, and a lewdness for granting an obscene level of the image file based on the ratio value of the skin color calculated by the skin color ratio reading unit and the classification value calculated by the classification unit. A level determining unit and a predetermined level based on the lewdness level And a final lewdness determining unit for determining whether or not the image file to which the lewdness level has been assigned is determined according to the lewdness criterion and delivering information of the determination result to the server.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the structure of the preferable embodiment of this invention is demonstrated in detail based on an accompanying drawing.

1 is a flowchart of a method for determining an obscene image of the present invention.

First, an image file referred to in the present invention refers to an electronic file having an extension of JPG, BMP, TIF, etc., and an image frame from which a still image is extracted from a moving image when the target object is a moving image having an extension of AVI, MPG, etc. It becomes an image file of this determination object.

The method for discriminating obscene images according to an embodiment of the present invention first begins by extracting a skin color from a target image file to determine whether it is obscene and calculating a ratio value of the skin color (step S 101).

Specifically, in step S 101, as illustrated in FIG. 2, a face partial region is detected from the image file (step S 201), the detected face partial region is excluded from the entire image region (step S 202), and the detection is performed. And calculating a ratio value of the skin color in the entire image area except the face partial area (step S203).

Herein, a method of extracting skin color from the target image file may be a known extraction method such as the method disclosed in the above-mentioned Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2006-28853. However, in the embodiments of the present invention, the following methods It is possible to employ, and when described in detail in a modified form as follows.

1) How to use RGB color space 1 (RGB Colorspace 1)

This method is a method for classifying the skin color, which is to set the boundary value for the skin color explicitly in several color spaces. For example, in the color space consisting of RGB (Red, Green, Blue), the skin color may be classified by the following conditional expression.

R> 95 and G> 40 and B> 20 and (1)

max {R, G, B}-min {R, G, B}> 15 and (2)

R-G | 15 and R> G and R> B (3)

(1) Red should be greater than 95, Green should be greater than 40, and Blue should be greater than 20.

(2) Obtain the maximum and minimum values among red, green, and blue values, respectively. And, the result of subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value should be greater than 15.

(3) The absolute value should be taken from the red value minus the green value, the value must be greater than 15, the red value must be greater than the green value, and the red value must be greater than the blue value.

2) How to use RGB color space 2 (RGB Colorspace 2)

R / G> 1.05

The method is to classify the skin color when the value of Red divided by the value of Green is greater than 1.05.

3) How to use digital luminance signal and color difference signal (YCbCr) color space (YCbCr Colorspace)

77≤Cb≤127 and 133≤Cr≤173

When the Cb value, one of the color difference signals in the YCbCr color space, is equal to or greater than 77 and equal to or less than 127, and the Cr value, which is one of the color difference signals, is equal to, greater than or equal to 133, and equal to or less than 173, it is classified as skin color.

4) How to use HS Colorspace

0.23≤S≤0.68 and 0≤H≤50

If the S (saturation) value is greater than or equal to 0.23 and greater than or equal to 0.68, and the H (Hue, hue) value is greater than or equal to 0 and greater than or equal to 50, it is classified as skin color.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of skin color to the entire image file is calculated as a value between 0 and 1.

Next, when the calculation of the skin color ratio value of the image file is completed as described above, the obscene classification value indicating whether the image file is obscene is calculated using a machine learning technique based on the feature value of the image file ( Step S 102).

As a method of determining whether the image file is obscene, as described above, a machine learning method using SVM (Support Vector Machine) as known in the above-mentioned Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2006-28853 can be used in the present invention. .

The SVM (Support Vector Machine) is one of the machine learning methods mainly used in the field of image recognition, and extracts characteristic elements such as color, edge, and shape from the image. Expressed as a mathematical function, this function is repeatedly executed thousands of times to tens of thousands of times through a device such as a computer, so that a device such as a computer that executes this function automatically performs image training through training through mechanical repetitive learning. Machine learning methodology to analyze and grasp shapes.

For example, the machine learning method using the SVM is widely used in the field of face recognition for recognizing an image of a face input by a camera. The face contour is extracted from an area estimated as a human face by analyzing the image input by the camera. This SVM analysis methodology is used to extract the shape of a human face in the process of face recognition, which detects and identifies the normal human face by positioning the nose and lips around the eye.

In addition, as a machine learning method that can be used for classifying the obscene image files of the present invention in addition to the SVM, a known machine such as ADA Boost algorithm, Bayesian Network, Neural Network, etc. Learning methods can be used.

The embodiment of the present invention classifies the image files determined to be indecent by using the machine learning method using the SVM, and specifically, the color of the image file and the corners of each region constituting the image. feature vector containing information of characteristic elements such as edges and contours of the regions forming the image from the image and using it as an SVM discriminator to compare with the SVM learning model, and to compare the SVM learning model. If an image classified through the image corresponds to an image of a predetermined specific classification, the corresponding image is determined to be an indecent image and a constellation classification value is assigned.

At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, the obscene image file is assigned with the obscene classification value to 1, and the obscene image file is assigned with the obscene classification value as 0.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the SVM analysis method is repeatedly executed through a device such as a computer by using the following function, so that a device such as a computer automatically forms a form of an image file through training through mechanical repetitive learning. Analyze and grasp. Details about the function are as follows:

In Equation 1, w and b are parameters of a classification plane (Hyper plane), and a value of f (x) has ± 1.

However, since input vectors are not always linearly separable, SVM uses a mapping function (Φ) to extend the low-dimensional input vector space to higher dimensions. Find and classify the maximum margin using the Support Vector. In this case, various kinds of kernel functions are applied.

In Equation 2, the Kernel function applies Linear, RBF, and the like.

The Kernel function in Equation 2 includes a Gaussian RBF, Sigmoid, Polynomial Kernel, etc. in the order as in Equation 3, For linear and nonlinear classification, Gaussian RBF Kernel is applied. Equation 3 predicts a class for a given vector as a discriminant function.

In addition, there are two types of learning methods of machine learning, which are teacher learning (Supervised Learning) and nonsupervised learning (Unsupervised Learning). SVM is a kind of supervised learning technique. The teacher learning technique predicts a class for a given vector through two stages of training and prediction. On the other hand, the non-teacher learning technique does not require a training step and uses a vector value to identify a class by a specific algorithm.

In the training stage, which is the first stage of the SVM, a vector set in the form of Equation 4 is used as an input value of the SVM.

Equation 5 means that the vector value X _v is extracted through a separate vector extraction algorithm for data such as an image, and the user specifies a class y in the vector value. That is, when a vector set pre-sorted for any vector value is inputted to the SVM, the given vector set is placed on n dimensions. Then, the SVM classifier sets up a classification plane (hyperplane) between n-dimensional vectors belonging to different classes and obtains a maximum margin to generate a classification model for a given set of input vectors. After this process, the training phase ends.

In the second stage of the SVM, the prediction stage, the model generated in the training stage is used. In the prediction step, an input vector such as Equation 5 is given. However, this input vector must be new and not used in the training phase. In the prediction phase, the class is predicted for the new input vector using the model generated in the training phase. Then, the following decision function is defined.

As described above, when the ratio of skin color and the obscene classification value of the image file are calculated through the steps S 101 and S 102, the level of obsceneness of the image file is given based on these two values (step S 103).

The step of assigning the level of obsceneness is a characteristic part of the present invention compared to the prior arts, and the prior art determines only the skin color with the skin color or judges the skin color only when the skin color is greater than or equal to the threshold value of the next process of the image. Since the classification process is performed, if the judgment regarding the skin color is wrong, there is a problem of classifying the non-negative image immediately without going through the classification process of determining whether it is indecent. Since both values of ratio and obscene classification are obtained, these values are combined to give an obscene level indicating the degree of obsceneness. Therefore, even if the judgment regarding the color of skin is wrong, the image file is not immediately determined to be non-pervasive. , Add the obscene classification By making the final judgment with reference, it is possible to further improve the discriminating power of the obscene image.

The step of assigning the lewdness level of the image file based on the ratio value of the skin color of the image file and the lewdness classification value specifically includes the steps as shown in FIG. 3. That is, the entire section of the skin color ratio value is divided into at least two or more ratio value sections according to the preset ratio value section (step S 301), and the image file according to the skin color ratio value is any of the sections of the ratio value. It is determined whether it belongs to the section (step S302). In accordance with the lewdness classification value of the image file, a lewdness level representing the lewdness level value of the corresponding image file is assigned (step S303). The steps of S 301 to S 303 are summarized as a table as follows.

    Skin color ratio value (→) Classification value (↓)    0 ≤ x <θ (1)    θ (1) ≤x <θ (2)       ......     θ (n-1) ≤ x ≤θ (n)        0 (no lewdness)        1 (level 1)        2 (level 2)     ......        n        1 (with lewdness)       n + 1 (level n + 1)       n + 2 (level n + 2)     ......       2n

* x: Skin color ratio value

  n: number of sections of skin color ratio value

  θ: Setting section of non-color ratio

For example, assuming that the entire interval of the skin color ratio value is divided into two, the number n of the skin color ratio values is 2, and the total number of the obscene levels is 4 since the total number of levels is n + 2. In the first section of the skin color ratio, the table below is established by dividing the first section into two by setting θ (1) to 0.49 and θ (2) to 1.00. For the sake of convenience, the skin color percentage value is expressed as a percentage.

               Skin color percentage value (→) (Converted in percentage) Classification value (↓)          0% ≤x <49%        49% ≤x ≤ 100%             0 (no lewdness)           Level 1          Level 2             1 (with lewdness)           Level 3          Level 4

In other words, if the skin color percentage value in the image file is in the range of 0% or more and less than 49%, the obscene level value indicating level 1 or level 3 level of obscene level is given according to the pertinent classification level, and the skin color converted in percentage When the ratio value is 49% or more and 100% or less, the obscene level value of level 2 or level 4 is given according to the corresponding obscenity classification value.

Therefore, since the level value provided as described above is determined from the simple method of judging whether or not there is obsceneness in the related art, the presence or absence of indecentness is judged according to the implied level level. The corresponding image file may be determined to be indecent, or if the level is applied somewhat lower, only the image file corresponding to level 3 and / or level 4 may be determined to be obscene. In other words, based on the conspicuousness criteria set as described above, a final determination is made on whether or not the image file to which the conspicuous level has been assigned is obscene according to a predetermined conspicuous criterion (step 104).

On the other hand, a process (step S 102) of calculating the obscene classification value indicating whether the image file is obscene using the machine learning method based on the feature value of the image file described above in more detail as follows.

First, as a method of calculating the obscene classification value according to the skin color ratio value of the image file, as shown in the conceptual diagram of the classification value calculation method according to the skin color ratio value of the present invention of FIG. The image file is divided into at least two sections according to the set skin color ratio values, and the image file belongs to any of the sections of the divided skin color ratio values based on the skin color ratio value of the image file calculated in step S 101. It is a method of calculating the lewdness classification value of the image file by using a machine learning technique for each section to which the image file belongs.

For example, the skin color ratio value may be divided into three sections according to the interval (conventional percentage value) of the predetermined skin color ratio value R, that is, 0% ≦ R <33% (first interval) and 33% ≦ R < 66% (second interval) and 66% ≤ R ≤ 100% (third interval), wherein the skin color percentage values R of the image files are R1 = 24%, R2 = 56%, and R3, respectively. Assuming that = 92%, an image file having a skin color ratio value of R1 belongs to the first section, and the obscene classification value of the image file having a skin color ratio value of R1 is calculated using a machine learning method according to the first section. In the embodiment of the present invention, the obscene image file calculates the obscene classification value as 1, and the nondescript image file calculates the obscene classification value as 0.

Since the image files having skin color ratios R2 and R3 belong to the second and third sections, respectively, the lewdness classification values of the image files having skin color ratios R2 and R3 using machine learning techniques according to the respective sections. Calculate

As described above, by calculating the obscene classification value by using a machine learning technique for each section to which the skin color ratio value of the corresponding image file belongs, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the image file is obscene.

Second, as shown in the conceptual diagram of the method of calculating the classification value according to the skin color ratio value of FIG. 5, at least two subjects using at least two subject-based machine learning techniques based on feature values of the image file, respectively. The above classification values are calculated, and the average value of the calculated classification values is calculated to give the calculated average value as the obscene classification value.

That is, the image files are classified into respective subjects (images of swimsuits, images of upper body nudes, images of lower body nudes, images of sexual activity, hidden camera images, etc.), and at least among these themes. Two or more subjects are trained professionally using machine learning techniques, and then the mean values of the obscene classification values calculated for each subject are calculated and given as the obscene classification values.

For example, in the step of calculating the lewd classification value, an image including the upper body nude photograph (topic 1), an image containing the lower body nude photograph (topic 2), and an image containing sexual activity (topics) 3) When the sneak shot image (Topic 4) was trained using the machine learning method, the calculated values of Subject 1 = 0.35, Subject 2 = 0.73, Subject 3 = 0.69, and Subject 4 = 0.92. The obscene classification value of the corresponding image file is 0.67 (rounded up to three decimal places), which is an average value of the respective classification values.

In this case, the method for assigning a level of obsceneness by using the mean value of each of the classification values calculated as the mean value of each classification value, divides the entire interval of the obscene classification value into at least two classification values according to the interval of the predetermined classification value. In addition, it is necessary to determine which section of the section of the classification value belongs to the image file, and give the obscene level of the corresponding section in consideration of the value of the skin color ratio value.

As described above, when the image is classified using a classification method using at least two professional machine learning methods, more obscene level values are compared with the method of simply limiting the obscene classification value to 0 or 1 as in the above-described embodiment. Since it can be given, there is an advantage that the indeterminate discrimination of the image can be made more detailed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the structure of the discriminating apparatus of the obscene image of this invention is demonstrated.

Apparatus 10 for determining the obscene image of the present invention, as shown in the drawing is mainly stored in the database 110 interlocked with the server 100, or whether the image file or video file that is to be stored in the database 110 is obscene An apparatus for determining, comprising: an input unit 200 which sequentially receives at least one image file from the server 100; Skin color ratio determination unit 300 for extracting the skin color from the image file input to the input unit to calculate the ratio value; A classification unit 400 for calculating a classification value indicating whether the image file is indecent by using a machine learning technique based on feature values of the image file input to the image file input unit; A lewdness level determining unit (500) which provides a lewdness level of the image file based on the ratio value of the skin color calculated by the skin color ratio reading section and the classification value given by the classification section; And a final lewdness determination unit 600 that determines whether or not the image file to which the lewdness level has been assigned is based on a lewdness determination criterion based on the lewdness level and delivers information of the determination result to the server.

More specifically, the skin color ratio determiner 300 detects a face region from the image file, excludes the detected face region from the entire image region, and the face detection module 310 and the detected face portion. It is configured to include a skin color calculation module 320 for calculating the ratio value of the skin color in the entire image area except the area.

In addition, the lewdness level determining unit 500 divides the entire section of the skin color ratio value into sections of at least two or more ratio values according to a preset ratio value section. A lewdness level determining module 510 for determining which section among the sections, and a lewdness level granting module 520 for granting a lewdness level representing the lewdness level of the corresponding image file according to the lewdness classification value of the image file. It is configured by.

As described above, the classification unit 400 divides the entire section of the skin color ratio value into at least two or more sections according to the section of the preset skin color ratio value, as described above, and based on the skin color ratio value of the image file. Calculating skin color-based classification values for determining which section of the divided skin color ratio values the image file belongs to and calculating obscene classification values of the image file by using machine learning techniques for each section to which the image file belongs. Module 410 is configured.

In addition, as shown in the configuration diagram of another embodiment of the classification unit of FIG. 7, at least two classifications each using at least two or more thematic machine learning techniques based on the feature values of the image file described above. At least two categorizing image files by each subject (images with swim suits, images with upper body nudes, images with lower body nudes, images with sexual activity, hidden camera images, etc.) to calculate values The average value calculated by calculating the average value of the classification values calculated by the at least two subject-based classification value calculating module 420 and the subject-based classification value calculating module 420, each of which the above-described machine learning technique is used, is determined as a lewdness classification value. It includes the average value calculation module 430 to give.

In addition, the apparatus for determining an obscene image file of the present invention extracts each image frame of a moving image file to obtain a still image thereof when the file input to the input unit 200 is a moving image file and converts the extracted image frame into an image file. The apparatus further includes an image frame extracting unit 210 that transmits to the input unit.

On the other hand, the skin color ratio determination unit 300 and the method for determining the skin color used by the classification unit 400 and the method for the obscene classification used in the classification unit is the same as described above in detail, a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. do. However, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the classifier 400 uses a machine learning technique using a support vector machine (SVM) as the machine learning technique used by the classifier.

The method and apparatus for discriminating obscene images of the present invention having the above-described configuration obtains both values of the ratio value of skin color and the obscurity classification value, and then adds these values to impart a lewdness level indicating obsceneness. If the judgment regarding the skin color is wrong, the problem of discrimination deterioration due to the problem of classifying the non-perturbation image immediately without going through the classification process for determining whether it is indecent and has an effect of showing more accurate and reliable discrimination ability.
