Supported File Types

[jneterer]

Is there a list of file types that can be scanned? For instance not just traditional image files, but also file types like PDFs, docs, txt, etc.

Canvas elements/JPG/PNG/GIFs for right now.

I do like the idea of being able to scan PDFs/docs etc, but you'd have to find a way to extract images from those filetypes and run their images through one by one.

What were you looking for it to catch in a txt file?

@GantMan I suppose it doesn't make sense to extract and scan images in a .txt file, as that's not possible. The main issue I'm trying to solve is ensuring individuals aren't storing inappropriate images in other types of files than the ones you've mentioned. File types like PDFs, word docs, PowerPoints, etc.

@GantMan thinking through extracting images from the file... would the process be first identifying images in a document, then classifying the image?

Video file are supported ?

You'd have to pull frames. You can do that from a web player at certain time increments, OR do it with something more detailed.
