introduction: melanin pigmentation in the oral mucosa occurs as a result of several reasons one of which is smoking. cigarette smoke induces numerous side effects in the people who do not smoke, but are in the same environment. the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of parental smoking on pigmentation of their children's oral mucosa. materials and methods: this study was carried out as ...

abstract this study was carried out in japan for evaluation of the relationship between phenolic compounds and skin color indices of 3 apples cultivars including ‘fuji’, ‘jonathan’ and ‘jonagold’, in 2006. in ‘jonathan’, l* (lightness) increased with decreasing red color of skin. in ‘jonagold’, chroma increased with increasing red color. but in ‘fuji’, there was no detectable difference between...

Reproducing skin colors pleasingly is essential for photographic color reproduction. Moving skin colors toward their preferred skin color center improves the skin color preference. Two main factors to successfully enhance skin colors are: a method to detect skin colors effectively and a method to morph skin colors toward a preferred skin color region properly. This paper starts with introducing...

Preferred skin color reproduction is an important factor for improving the image quality of display devices and systems. Therefore, this article presents a race-selective preferred skin color reproduction method for the case of multiple races in a single image. First, the proposed method detects skin regions using a focus map and skin candidate map. Next, the race of each detected skin region i...

In this paper, we propose a new method, called an adaptive skin color xlter, for detecting skin color regions in a color image. The use of skin color provides an e$cient way to "nd candidate regions for faces or hands in color images. However, it is not easy to "nd skin color regions because the color of skin regions varies from image to image due to a variety of reasons. Since most of the prev...

Skin color segmentationis used to determine whether the color pixel is a skin color or non skin color. Understanding the skin color segmentation which supports to design YCbCr and CIELab algorithm for skin color segmentation which use in various applications such as face detection, human computer interaction, medical x-rays scan, agriculture. In this paper we discuss on face detection algorithm...
