A hybrid approach for human skin detection

Abstract

Human skin detection strives to spot skin from the pictures. Automatic skin detection is considered as a significantly difficult and complex as skin image differ on the aspects of contents due to variation in size, style, orientation, alignment coupled with different contrast and background. This paper proposes a skin detection approach using localization, tracking, extraction, enhancement, and recognition. This approach remains sensitive to the color palette and uses edge detection technique. Also, color classification box incorporates a deep impact on the performance of the rule. The proposed approach detects single as well as multiple persons in a picture. Promising results are obtained on variety of pictures, except in few pictures wherever color distinction is hard to even when edge detection rule.
