چکیده
Electronic mail being one of the most prevalent methods for exchange of digital messages has been facing the biggest threat that is spam. Since the text spam can be easily detected so a new variant of spamming came into being. The new variant of spam is the image spam that is the trending method of spamming. This paper investigates the several classifiers used in the image spam classification like the Decision Tree and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and a combination of the both.

Geological noise removal in geophysical magnetic survey to detect unexploded ordnance based on image filtering
This paper describes the application of three straightforward image-based filtering methods to remove the geological noise effect which masks unexploded ordnances (UXOs) magnetic signals in geophysical surveys. Three image filters comprising of mean, median and Wiener are used to enhance the location of probable UXOs when they are embedded in a dominant background geological noise. The study ar...
متن کاملImage Spam Filtering by Content Obscuring Detection
We address the problem of filtering image spam, a rapidly spreading kind of spam in which the text message is embedded into attached images to defeat spam filtering techniques based on the analysis of e-mail’s body text. We propose an approach based on low-level image processing techniques to detect one of the main characterstics of most image spam, namely the use of content obscuring technique...

Filtering image email spam is considered to be a challenging problem because spammers keep modifying the images being used in their campaigns by employing different obfuscation techniques. Therefore, preventing text recognition using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools and imposing additional challenges in filtering such type of spam. In this paper, we propose an image spam filtering tech...
متن کاملFiltering Image Spam with Near-Duplicate Detection
A new trend in email spam is the emergence of image spam. Although current anti-spam technologies are quite successful in filtering text-based spam emails, the new image spams are substantially more difficult to detect, as they employ a variety of image creation and randomization algorithms. Spam image creation algorithms are designed to defeat well-known vision algorithms such as optical chara...
متن کاملA Sobel Edge Detection Algorithm Based System for Analyzing and Classifying Image Based Spam
Early spam mails were only text-based, however spammers have moved to more sophisticated spamming techniques that involve images now generally termed image based spam. In most image-based spam, the entire spam message, which could be sometimes text, is embedded in an image of any format. This type of spam emails creates another dimension to the spam filtering problem scenario. Extracting text f...
