Skin Color Detection Using PCA-based Color Representation
نویسنده
چکیده
Skin color detection is the process that classifies unknown colors into skin or non-skin classes. Skin color detection is preliminary step for facial or gesture analysis and can reduce search space for next higher level processing. In this paper, we show that proposed PCAbased color representation can give better performance than other frequently used color spaces such as XYZ and Luv. For skin detection, we use two classification models – histogram model and elliptical boundary model from skin and non-skin colors. The experimental results show the PCA-based color representation is more efficient than other color representation and the existing PCA-based representation based on the two classification models.

Representing Spectral data using LabPQR color space in comparison to PCA method
In many applications of color technology such as spectral color reproduction it is of interest to represent the spectral data with lower dimensions than spectral space’s dimensions. It is more than half of a century that Principal Component Analysis PCA method has been applied to find the number of independent basis vectors of spectral dataset and representing spectral reflectance with lower di...
متن کاملFace Detection in Color Images Using Principal Components Analysis
In this paper we present a face detection algorithm for color images with complex background. We include color information into a face detection approach based on principal components analysis (PCA). A skin color probability image is generated by doing a color analysis and the PCA is performed on this new image instead of the luminance image. Experiments show that color information improves the...

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...

متن کاملMorphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal
Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...
