A New Fast Skin Color Detection Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Skin color can provide a useful and robust cue for human-related image analysis, such as face detection, pornographic image filtering, hand detection and tracking, people retrieval in databases and Internet, etc. The major problem of such kinds of skin color detection algorithms is that it is time consuming and hence cannot be applied to a real time system. To overcome this problem, we introduce a new fast technique for skin detection which can be applied in a real time system. In this technique, instead of testing each image pixel to label it as skin or non-skin (as in classic techniques), we skip a set of pixels. The reason of the skipping process is the high probability that neighbors of the skin color pixels are also skin pixels, especially in adult images and vise versa. The proposed method can rapidly detect skin and non-skin color pixels, which in turn dramatically reduce the CPU time required for the protection process. Since many fast detection techniques are based on image resizing, we apply our proposed pixel skipping technique with image resizing to obtain better results. The performance evaluation of the proposed skipping and hybrid techniques in terms of the measured CPU time is presented. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods achieve better result than the relevant classic method. Keywords—Adult images filtering, image resizing, skin color detection, YcbCr color space.

متن کاملSkin Color Detection by Combining a Statistical Skin Color Model, Neural Network Technique and Moving Object Information
In processes of face detection, face tracking and gesture recognition, the skin color detection is usually a post-processing step that plays such an important role. The skin color detection can almost be viewed as a two class problem with a non-skin color pixel vs. skin color pixel classifier. In this paper, we present a classifier that was built by combining a statistical skin color model and ...
متن کاملA New Face Detection Technique using 2D DCT and Self Organizing Feature Map
This paper presents a new technique for detection of human faces within color images. The approach relies on image segmentation based on skin color, features extracted from the twodimensional discrete cosine transform (DCT), and self-organizing maps (SOM). After candidate skin regions are extracted, feature vectors are constructed using DCT coefficients computed from those regions. A supervised...
