Most of the already proposed skin detection approaches are based on the same pixel-wise paradigm, in which each image pixel is individually analyzed. We think that this paradigm should be extended; context information should be incorporated in the skin detection process. Following this idea, in this article is proposed a robust and fast skin detection approach that uses spatial and temporal con...

Skin colour detection is frequently been used for searching people, face detection, pornographic filtering and hand tracking. The presence of skin or non-skin in digital image can be determined by manipulating pixels’ colour and/or pixels’ texture. The main problem in skin colour detection is to represent the skin colour distribution model that is invariant or least sensitive to changes in illu...

Skin Ulcers are likely to be caused by the increase in UV radiation which occurs as a result of ozone depletion with the culture of the sun. Major other causes of skin cancer are burns, scars, sores, radiation or certain chemicals like arsenic. Moreover, tattooing is considered as a fashion in the younger generations, unaware of the fact that it can cause a skin cancer. However, if detected ear...

Human face detection has become a major field of interest in current research because there is no deterministic algorithm to find face(s) in a given image. Further the algorithms that exist are very much specific to the kind of images they would take as input and detect faces. The problem is to detect faces in the given, colored group photograph. This paper proposes a novel technique for detect...

Detecting the human skin and its analysis has number of important applications. This is a challenging task as. in images, the skin color is quite sensitive to the chrominance and intensity of the pixels. So the techniques with a single model for skin fail to cope up with the variation in skin colors because of ethnicity, age, lighting etc. This paper proposes a novel technique for skin detectio...

Human Skin detection deals with the recognition of skin-colored pixels and regions in a given image. Skin color is often used in human skin detection because it is invariant to orientation and size and is fast to process. A new human skin detection algorithm is proposed in this paper. The three main parameters for recognizing a skin pixel are RGB (Red, Green, Blue), HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value)...

Contamination of food producing animals by veterinary drug residues, particularly quinolones, is an essential issue in food safety that causes increasing concern in consumers. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of enrofloxacin and its main metabolite, ciprofloxacin, in chicken tissue samples slaughtered in Tabriz, Iran. Totally 250 samples including liver, muscle, gizzard, ...

This work is aimed at the detection of adult images that appear in Internet. Skin detection is of the paramount importance in the detection of adult images. We build a maximum entropy model for this task. This model, called the First Order Model in this paper, is subject to constraints on the color gradients of neighboring pixels. Parameter estimation as well as optimization cannot be tackled w...
