چکیده

A new skin segmentation technique for color images is proposed. The proposed technique uses a human skin color model that is based on the Bayesian decision theory and developed using a large training set of skin colors and nonskin colors. The proposed technique is novel and unique in that texture characteristics of the human skin are used to select appropriate skin color thresholds for skin segmentation. Two homogeneity measures for skin regions that take into account both global and local image features are also proposed. Experimental results showed that the proposed technique can achieve good skin segmentation performance (false detection rate of 4.5% and false rejection rate of 4.0%).

Robust Potato Color Image Segmentation using Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System

Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

Automatic Segmentation of Skin Cancer Images using Adaptive Color Clustering

This paper presents the development of an adaptive image segmentation algorithm designed for the identification of the skin cancer and pigmented lesions in dermoscopy images. The key component of the developed algorithm is the Adaptive Spatial K-Means (A-SKM) clustering technique that is applied to extract the color features from skin cancer images. Adaptive-SKM is a novel technique that includ...

EE 368 Project: Face Detection in Color Images

We present in this report an approach to automatic detection of human faces in color images. The proposed approach consists of three parts: a human skin segmentation to identify probable regions corresponding to human faces; adaptive shape analysis to separate isolated human faces from initial segmentation results; and a view-based face detection to further identify the location of each human f...

A Comparative Evaluation of Three Skin Color Detection Approaches

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...
