To improve accuracy of localize suspicious lesion region in dermatoscopic images using Region Growing, the initial step based on fuzzy sets to enhance the lesion region of interest (ROI) is developed. The result of skin lesion detection is used to extract Asymmetry, Border Irregularity, Color Variation, Diameter (ABCD) features for melanoma skin cancer diagnosis. ABCD feature is the rule that i...

Skin color is a useful means for human face detection. In this paper, we propose an efficient color compensation method for skin color segmentation under varying lighting conditions. One of the major problems of using skin color is that a face region may not be detected under poor or uneven lighting conditions. Our approach considers the distribution of the color components of skin pixels and t...

pose changes, the distribution of skin colors in color planes is very employ color histogram based approaches to skin color segmentation. sis of skin colors directly in the RGB color space. Our idea is simple observation that skin colors of a person in the RGB color space are linear fashion, we apply PCA techniques to RGB values of skin colors s collected online. The axis along which the data i...

Human skin segmentation in colored images is closely related to face detection and face recognition systems as a preliminary critical required step where it is necessary to search for the precise face location. An important challenge for any image segmentation approach is to accommodate varying illumination conditions and different ethnic groups. We present a general approach for modeling, segm...

We have previously shown that a quantitative-trait locus linked to the OCA2 region of 15q accounts for 74% of variation in human eye color. We conducted additional genotyping to clarify the role of the OCA2 locus in the inheritance of eye color and other pigmentary traits associated with skin-cancer risk in white populations. Fifty-eight synonymous and nonsynonymous exonic single-nucleotide pol...

The automated detection of humans in computer vision as well as the realistic rendering of people in computer graphics necessitates improved modeling of the human skin color. In this paper we describe the acquisition and modeling of skin reflectance data densely sampled over the entire visible spectrum. The data collected through a spec-trograph allows us to explain skin color (and its variatio...

In this paper, we propose an automatic skin beautification framework based on color-temperature-insensitive skin-color detection. To polish selected skin region, we apply bilateral filter to smooth the facial flaw. Last, we use Poisson image cloning to integrate the beautified parts into the original input. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be applied in varied light source...

Skin detection is the process of finding skin-colored pixels and regions in an image or a video. This process is typically used as a preprocessing step to find regions that potentially have human faces and limbs in images. Several computer vision approaches have been developed for skin detection. A skin detector typically transforms a given pixel into an appropriate color space and then use a s...
