Skin detection is used in many applications, such as face recognition, hand tracking, and human-computer interaction. There are many skin color detection algorithms that are used to extract human skin color regions that are based on the thresholding technique since it is simple and fast for computation. The efficiency of each color space depends on its robustness to the change in lighting and t...

Techniques for color-based tracking of faces or hands often assume a static skin color model. However, skin color perceived by a camera can change when lighting changes. In common real environment multiple light sources impinge on the skin. Therefore, for robust skin pixel detection, a dynamic skin color model that can cope with the changes must be employed. We show that skin detection in video...

for the first time we have used eyelid skin expansion to facilitate reconstruction of selected patients with shortage of lid skin (e.g. for burn scar and after excision of tumors). this method allows for a controlled increase in skin, need for reconstruction, and offers many advantages over grafted skin transfered from a distance. color, texture, thinness, delicacy and adnexal structures are ae...

Skin detection plays an important role in a wide range of image processing applications ranging from face detection, face tracking, gesture analysis, content-based image retrieval systems and to various human computer interaction domains. Recently, skin detection methodologies based on skin-color information as a cue has gained much attention as skin-color provides computationally effective yet...

Color is one of the most prominent features of an image and used in many skin and face detection applications. Color space transformation is widely used by researchers to improve face and skin detection performance. Despite the substantial research efforts in this area, choosing a proper color space in terms of skin and face classification performance which can address issues like illumination ...

BACKGROUND Skin color is related to human health outcomes, including the risks of skin cancer and vitamin D insufficiency. Self-perceptions of skin color may influence health behaviours, including the adoption of practices protective against harmful solar ultraviolet radiation levels. Misperception of personal risk may have negative health implications. The aim of this study is to determine whe...

This paper presents a face localization and tracking algorithm which is based upon skin color detection and principle component analysis (PCA) based eye localization. Skin color segmentation is performed using statistical models for human skin color. The skin color segmentation task results in a mask marking the skin color regions in the actual frame, which is further used to compute the positi...
