Advanced Image Analysis iShield® captures the active window at regular intervals and extracts the images and text to analyze. Digital image processing determines if an image is potentially pornographic. Our innovative technology analyzes images with Skin Tone Detection, Texture Detection, Edge Detection, Mass Detection, Limb Detection, Face Detection. |
Decision Process Neural network technology uses the results of the image analysis and the text on the screen to decide if an image is offensive. |
Image Blocking iShield records all suspected images and initiates your desired action: to display a warning message, block the image, or block the entire page. |

Text Analysis iShield’s text analysis process uses a classifier that was developed using the Bayesian Network algorithm and implemented as a method of recognizing words/phrases considered in the context of other words/phrases. This analysis technique is more accurate compared to the common simplistic keyword approach implemented in most filters and it supports Arabic, Thai, Russian, French and German. |
Webpage Analysis iShield scans the metadata and examines text in the Title, Keywords and Description field of a webpage header. It checks the website’s internet rating labels from reputable content rating body such as RSACi, SafeSurf and PICS amongst others and does an analysis of text, images, links and structure of any visited websites. |
