Master's Thesis: Detection of Suggestive Poses and Facial Expressions

Background/Motivation: Models capable of recognizing human skin, body parts, or scenes are frequently employed to detect erotic and pornographic image material. Using corresponding datasets [1], classification and object detection models can be trained. However, there are also images that are obviously erotic or pornographic but cannot be detected by conventional methods. This applies, for example, to images in which erotic poses or partial sections of pornographic scenes can be identified. Here, among other things...
