LTU technologies Offers Essential Image Analysis Tool to Complete New Version of Parental Filter 2

Paris & New York  –  June 18, 2009  –  Profil Technology, a leading European developer and publisher of security and content filtering software, has released its new version of parental control software, Parental Filter 2.  The software, which uses LTU technologies’ image recognition functionality to enhance its filtering capabilities, is now available in French and in English. 

Parents everywhere are faced with the challenge of ensuring the appropriate use of the Internet in their homes, while still giving their children the freedom to explore the Web. Government initiatives in this area have proven difficult to deploy or enforce, such as in the USA, where the Supreme Court rejected the Child Online Protection Act.  As a result, parents are thus taking the initiatives themselves to protect their families from Internet risks of all types, such as pornography, online predators, and fraudulent websites.

Parental Filter 2 is a product which protects against all the dangers of computer use by filtering Internet sites as well as emails, instant messages and downloads for pornographic images.  
The partnership with LTU technologies provides Parental Filter 2 with a higher accuracy of image classification results, preventing offensive content such as pornography from being accessed by children.

"LTU technologies is focused on providing the most accurate online content control functionality. We are pleased to be continuing our partnership with Profil Technology by providing them image filtering tools to enhance their Internet access control solutions,” said Alexandre Winter, CEO and co-founder of LTU technologies. “Parental Filter 2 is one of the best solutions currently available and we are proud to contribute to its success.”

“Filtering pornographic images is an essential element of  Parental Filter 2.  The power and the precision of LTU technologies image recognition functionality, and added to that their experience with law enforcement is a major plus” said Franck Chartier, Marketing Director of Editions Profil.  "We are very proud of this new version of Parental Filter 2, which is now also available in English, and look forward to our continued partnership with a technology leader like LTU technologies”.
