Self-induced color correction for skin tracking under varying illumination
نویسندگان
چکیده
An important challenge of any skin color based tracking system is to accommodate varying illumination conditions. We present a method for automatic transformation of the color planes to match the skin color model learnt for a fixed illumination. The first couple of initial frames are used to automatically extract the palm region which in turn serves as an observed skin color palette which needs to he colortransformed to match a similar palette under a known illumination. A neural network implementing hack-propagation learning rule then performs the color correction for the entire sequence. We use a condensation algorithm for tracking after the color correction for improved performance.

Comparison of skin color detection and tracking methods under varying illumination
When skin areas like faces and hands are imaged under natural environments their color appearance is frequently affected by variations in illumination intensity and chromaticity. In color-based skin tracking and detection, changing intensity is often dismissed either with the use of normalized, intensity-invariant color coordinates or by additionally modeling possible skin intensities. Chromati...
متن کاملA multi-modal system for tracking and analyzing faces on a mobile robot
This paper describes a user detection system which employs a saliency system working on an omnidirectional camera delivering a rough and fast estimate of the position of a potential user. It consists of a vision (skin color) and a sonar based component, which are combined to make the estimate more reliable. To make the skin color detection robust under varying illumination conditions, it is sup...

متن کاملFast Landmark Tracking and Localization Algorithm for the Mobile Robot Self-localization
We present a simple artificial landmark model and a robust landmark tracking algorithm for mobile robot localization. The landmark model, consisting of symmetric and repetitive color patches, produces color histograms that are invariant under the geometric and photometric distortions. A stochastic approach based on the CONDENSATION tracks the landmark model robustly even under the varying illum...
