WIKIIndecent image identification
PhotoDNA
Microsoft has developed a technology PhotoDNA which creates signatures of images that can be used in matching without being able to recreate the image from the signature. It is in use on Microsoft's Bing, as well as Twitter, Facebook and Google's Gmail, primarily for identifying child abuse imagery.
