Snitch detects Porn Pictures on your computer

Snitch is a program specifically designed to detect and remove adult content from PC's. It incorporates a 'smart' algorithm designed to scan all images in the target range and to prioritize them according to their 'suspiciousness'. A porn picture usually exhibits characteristic tones and distribution that allow identification above other normal images. Although any image analysis method that attempts to separate adult images from standard images invariably classifies some images incorrectly, the algorithm used by Snitch parental controls is quite effective, and usually a computer that contains porn pictures will show obscene or indecent pictures in the first page of image results.

Using a wide range of techniques including color matching, tone gradients, plus grid functions which check for tonal dispersion and distribution, as well as adjusting for contrast and exposure faults, Snitch is able to sort adult images with a reasonable degree of accuracy, while reducing false results.

Because other image types may share the characteristics that porn pictures do to some degree, sometimes the search algorithm classes them both as indecent. Consider the following case - a closeup of a woman's face in a portrait would be very difficult to classify differently from a closeup of a woman's face in a pornographic image. It is for this reason that portraits and other pictures with substantial portions of bare skin can sometimes be improperly classed as a porn image. However, the image results in Snitch are presented so that if any porn picture exists then it will appear very early in the results, and can therefore be quickly assessed by the user of the program.

porn pictures - images containing adult material such as pornographic content, or obscene or indecent topic matter such as portrayals of violence, kiddie porn etc.
