BACKGROUND Skin color is related to human health outcomes, including the risks of skin cancer and vitamin D insufficiency. Self-perceptions of skin color may influence health behaviours, including the adoption of practices protective against harmful solar ultraviolet radiation levels. Misperception of personal risk may have negative health implications. The aim of this study is to determine whe...

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...

This paper presents a new face detection method which combines the Skin Color Detector and the Template Matching Method. First we can use the skin Color Detector to find the faces. In the Skin Color Detector, we can use the YCbCr model. The YCbCr model can be used to easily detect the Skin color or Non-Skin color in the images. But in the Skin Color Detector, it can also detect the faces or som...

This study describes morphological diversity and relationship of 14 cultivars and 133 wild fig accessions from central Zagros Mountains located in the west of Iran, based on 58 morphological characters. Among all characters, secondary drooping branches, number of bark tubers, shape of central lobe, length of central lobe/length of lamina, little lateral lobes, shape of leaf without lobed, fruit...

Skin color is a simple but powerful pixel based feature. Skin color has proven to be a useful and sturdy cue for face detection, localization and tracking, hand detection, etc. Skin color is a useful means for human face detection. In this paper, we propose two color spaces YCbCr and CIELab and compare the results of both color space. Analyze the efficient method for skin color segmentation und...

Skin color is an important feature of faces. Applications that try to fit a face outline model to the real face contour can benefit from robust classification of skin and nonskin regions within the face. But this is a hard challenge, because skin color can look quite differently due to camera settings, illumination, shadows, people’s ethnic groups etc. In this work we present a parametric skin ...

Region-of-interest (ROI) detection plays an important role in filtering out pornographic images. Skin-color models, as a traditional approach, extract skin-color regions as ROI. However, the approach is difficult to differentiate between human skins and other objects with the skin-color. Furthermore, skin-color regions are always larger than the subareas containing pornographic parts. In this p...
