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...

Contamination of food producing animals by veterinary drug residues, particularly quinolones, is an essential issue in food safety that causes increasing concern in consumers. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of enrofloxacin and its main metabolite, ciprofloxacin, in chicken tissue samples slaughtered in Tabriz, Iran. Totally 250 samples including liver, muscle, gizzard, ...

In literature, different researchers consistently argue different color models to be the best choice for skin detection. However, to the best our knowledge, no significant work has been reported in the literature that attempted to utilize more than one color model for skin detection and evaluate the performance for identifying adult image contents. In this paper, we propose a rapid statistical ...

Reproducing skin colors pleasingly is essential for photographic color reproduction. Moving skin colors toward their preferred skin color center improves the skin color preference. Two main factors to successfully enhance skin colors are: a method to detect skin colors effectively and a method to morph skin colors toward a preferred skin color region properly. This paper starts with introducing...

This paper describes a new color segmentation based on a normalized RGB chromaticity diagram for face detection. Face skin is extracted from color images using a coarse skin region with fixed boundaries followed by a fine skin region with variable boundaries. Two newly developed histograms that have prominent peaks of skin color and nonskin colors are employed to adjust the boundaries of the sk...

Locating skin pixels in images or video sequences where people appear has many applications, specially those related to Human-Computer Interaction. Most work on skin detection is based on modelling the skin on different color spaces. This paper explores the use of texture as a descriptor for the extraction of skin pixels in images. For this aim, we analyzed and compared a proposed color-based s...

We present a comprehensive and systematic approach for skin detection. We have evaluated each component of several colour models, and then we selected a suitable colour model for skin detection. Such approach is well-known in the machine learning community as attribute selection. After listing the top components, we exemplify that a mixure of colour components can discriminate very well skin in...

Skin color segmentationis used to determine whether the color pixel is a skin color or non skin color. Understanding the skin color segmentation which supports to design YCbCr and CIELab algorithm for skin color segmentation which use in various applications such as face detection, human computer interaction, medical x-rays scan, agriculture. In this paper we discuss on face detection algorithm...
