Akismet does an amazing job at detecting spam comments. But comments are
not the only form of spam these days. What if I wanted something like
akismet to automatically detect porn images on a social networking site
which allows users to upload their pics, avatars, etc?

There are already a few image based search engines as well as face
recognition stuff available so I am assuming it wouldn't be rocket
science and it could be done. However, I have no clue regarding how that
stuff works and how I should go about it if I want to develop it from
scratch.

How should I get started?

Is there any open source project for this going on?
