The Porn Detection stick has implemented a number of methods and algorithms that are used to analyze if picture might be pornographic in nature. Some of the methods used are:
Image cleanup – unnecessary details in the image are cleaned up to provide grounds for optimal analysis
Skin detection – skin colours and textures are identified within picture
Background elimination – to provide more accurate results
Body part separation – separates body parts into separate masses
Negative Curvature Rejection – eliminates objects with un-natural curves
Face detection –Identifies faces within images

Using this series of methods a computer with 500 GB Hard drive was searched using the Porn Detection Stick. Within an hour and a half, the entire computer was search and over 72,000 images that were analyzed there were only 400 false positive results. That is less than 0.006%.
False positive can be reduced by reducing sensitivity level for detection of pornographic materials.
