Interesting concept.Scanning through the code, reading just the comments, it seems to base the nude-not-nude decision by the amount of skin shown.
Hmm.. I guess it depends on what your definition of nudity is.

Perhaps a better approach would be attempting to characterize certain features, like nipples/areola or buttocks. That definitely sounds like it would require more intensive processing, though, and be highly dependent on the angle of the image.
I don't really know much about image processing and computational analysis, I just like to pretend I know things.
Also what about people with unmaintained pubic hair?
Other tools Im familiarmwith do body part detection, which words pretty well, and generates few false positives (that said, when they do occur they tend to be amusing - a pastrami sandwich , for example).
If the test is based on skin colours, what happens with different tones?
