On dedicated websites, people can upload videos and share it with the rest of the world. Currently these videos are categorized manually by the help of the user community. In this paper, we propose a combination of color spaces with the Bayesian network approach for robust detection of skin color followed by an automated video categorization. Experimental results show that our method can achiev...

The skin of color population is rapidly growing in the United States. This population has numerous unique and more commonly occurring dermatologic conditions. Additionally, certain cutaneous conditions can present differently in darker versus lighter skin types. This paper provides an up-to-date overview of common conditions that occur in skin of color, including their clinical presentations, p...

In this paper we present a skin color approach for fast and accurate face detection which combines skin color learning and image segmentation. This approach starts from a coarse segmentation which provides regions of homogeneous statistical color distribution. Some regions represent parts of human skin and are selected by minimizing an error between the color distribution of each region and the...

Skin segmentation is a challenging task due to several influences such as, for example, unknown lighting conditions, skin colored background, and camera limitations. A lot of skin segmentation approaches were proposed in the past including adaptive (in the sense of updating the skin color online) and non-adaptive approaches. In this paper, we compare three different skin segmentation approaches...

Evolutionary psychologists have proposed that preferences for facial characteristics, such as symmetry, averageness, and sexual dimorphism, may reflect adaptations for mate choice because they signal aspects of mate quality. Here, we show that facial skin color distribution significantly influences the perception of age and attractiveness of female faces, independent of facial form and skin sur...

This paper presents the procedures of face segmentation in the color image based on skin detection through the establishment of skin model and the segmentation of skin region. Firstly, in order to reduce the effect of factors on the segmentation of face region, a method for compensating the color of input images is used to alleviate the interferences from bad illuminating conditions. Secondly, ...

Image segmentation techniques are considered the main artifact against which the computer can visualize the objects in that scene and for further processing, many hand segmentation techniques are adopted in this direction which consumes the color cue as the enjoinder tools for spotting the skin pixels and non-skin pixels, GMM has been implemented successfully in this area which can tone single ...

Tristimulus colorimetry and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) are white-light skin reflectance techniques used to measure the intensity of skin pigmentation. The tristimulus colorimeter is an instrument that measures a perceived color and the DRS instrument measures biological chromophores of the skin, including oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin, melanin and scattering. Data gathered from these too...

In this paper, we propose an intelligent recognition system for objectionable image in JPEG compression domain. First, the system applies robust skin color model and skin texture analysis to detect the skin regions in an input image based on its DC and ACs. Then, the color, texture, shape and statistical features are extracted from the skin regions and input into a decisiontree classifier for c...
