Driver Fatigue Recognition using Skin Color Modeling

Skin detection for single images using dynamic skin color modeling

Multispectral Skin Color Modeling

The automated detection of humans in computer vision as well as the realistic rendering of people in computer graphics necessitates improved modeling of the human skin color. In this paper we describe the acquisition and modeling of skin reflectance data densely sampled over the entire visible spectrum. The data collected through a spec-trograph allows us to explain skin color (and its variatio...

Skin-Color Modeling and Adaptation

This report studies a statistical skin-color model and its adaptation. By quantitative analysis and goodness-oft test, we reveal that (1) skin-color di erences among people can be reduced by intensity normalization, and (2) under a certain lighting condition, a skin-color distribution can be characterized by a multivariate normal distribution in the normalized color space. We then propose an ad...

Skin Color Registration Using Recognition of Waving Hands

This paper proposes skin color registration using the recognition of waving hands. In order to recognize hand gestures from images, skin colors are useful information. The proposed method can register skin colors simply and quickly because it uses just a few waves of the hand. The method consists of 2 steps. First, the regions of the waving hands are extracted from low-resolution images without...

Adaptive skin color modeling using the skin locus for selecting training pixels

Techniques for color-based tracking of faces or hands often assume a static skin model yet skin color, as measured by a camera, can change when lighting changes. Therefore, for robust skin pixel detection, an adaptive skin color model must be employed. We demonstrate a chromaticity-based constraint to select training pixels in a scene for updating a dynamic skin color model under changing illum...
