Introduction

NsfwSpy is a nudity/pornography image and video classifier built for .NET Core 2.0 and later, with support for Windows, macOS and Linux, to aid in moderating user-generated content for various different application types, written in C#. The ML.NET model has been trained against the ResNet V250 neural net architecture with 646,000 images (109GB), from 4 different categories:

Label	Description	Files
Pornography	Images that depict sexual acts and nudity.	106,000
Sexy	Images of people in their underwear and men who are topless.	78,000
Hentai	Drawings or animations of sexual acts and nudity.	83,000
Neutral	Images that are not sexual in nature.	378,000

Performance

NsfwSpy isn't perfect, but the accuracy should be good enough to detect approximately 96% of Nsfw images, those being images that are classed as pornography, sexy or hentai.

	Pornography	Sexy	Hentai	Neutral
Is Nsfw (pornography + sexy + hentai >= 0.5)	95.8%	97.0%	95.2%	3.7%
Correctly Predicted Label	85.7%	84.4%	91.9%	96.54%

Quick Start

Looking to quickly try out NsfwSpy? Check out our steps to use NsfwSpy.App.

This project is available as a NuGet package and can be installed with the following commands:

Package Manager

Install-Package NsfwSpy

.NET CLI

dotnet add package NsfwSpy

Classify an Image File

var nsfwSpy = new NsfwSpy();
var result = nsfwSpy.ClassifyImage(@"C:\Users\username\Documents\flower.jpg");

Classify a Web Image

var uri = new Uri("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d00ML0rDz/NsfwSpy/main/NsfwSpy.Test/Assets/flower.jpg");
var nsfwSpy = new NsfwSpy();
var result = nsfwSpy.ClassifyImage(uri);

Classify an Image from a Byte Array

var fileBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
var nsfwSpy = new NsfwSpy();
var result = nsfwSpy.ClassifyImage(fileBytes);

Classify Multiple Image Files

var files = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\username\Pictures");
var nsfwSpy = new NsfwSpy();
var results = nsfwSpy.ClassifyImages(files, (filePath, result) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{filePath} - {result.PredictedLabel}");
});

Classify a Gif File

var nsfwSpy = new NsfwSpy();
var result = nsfwSpy.ClassifyGif(@"C:\Users\username\Documents\happy.gif");

Classify a Web Gif

var uri = new Uri("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d00ML0rDz/NsfwSpy/main/NsfwSpy.Test/Assets/cool.gif");
var nsfwSpy = new NsfwSpy();
var result = nsfwSpy.ClassifyGif(uri);

Classify a Video File

var nsfwSpy = new NsfwSpy();
var result = nsfwSpy.ClassifyVideo(@"C:\Users\username\Documents\happy.mp4");

Classify a Web Video

var uri = new Uri("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/d00ML0rDz/NsfwSpy/main/NsfwSpy.Test/Assets/bikini.mp4");
var nsfwSpy = new NsfwSpy();
var result = nsfwSpy.ClassifyVideo(uri);

Dependency Injection

services.AddScoped<INsfwSpy, NsfwSpy>();

Classify Video Support

To be able to make use of the ClassifyVideo methods, FFmpeg needs to be installed and available in the command line via the 'ffmpeg' command.

Windows

Follow this guide to download FFmpeg, extract it to your C:\ drive and add the required environment path variable.

macOS

Install FFmpeg on macOS using Homebrew via the following command:

brew install ffmpeg

Ubuntu

Install FFmpeg on Ubuntu using the following command:

sudo apt install ffmpeg

GPU Support

To get GPU support working, please follow the prerequisite steps here to install CUDA v10.1 and CUDNN v7.6.4 for CUDA 10.1. Later versions do not work (as I tried with CUDA v11.4). The SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist-Windows-GPU and SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist-Linux-GPU packages are already included as part of the NsfwSpy package.

macOS Support

To get NsfwSpy working on macOS, the SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist v2.3.1 NuGet package also needs to be installed. This not included by default as it interfers with supporting GPUs on Windows and Linux. You can do this with either of the following commands:

Package Manager

Install-Package SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist -Version 2.3.1

.NET CLI

dotnet add package SciSharp.TensorFlow.Redist --version 2.3.1

Please note that Macs that use M1 chips currently do not support TensorFlow with ML.NET and cannot make use of NsfwSpy.
