Abstract

Content-based adult video detection plays an important role in preventing pornography. However, existing methods usually rely on single modality and seldom focus on multi-modality semantics representation. Addressing at this problem, we put forward an approach of analyzing periodicity and saliency for adult video detection. At first, periodic patterns and salient regions are respectively analyzed in audio-frames and visual-frames. Next, the multi-modal co-occurrence semantics is described by combining audio periodicity with visual saliency. Moreover, the performance of our approach is evaluated step by step. Experimental results show that our approach obviously outperforms some state-of-the-art methods.
