Face Localization based on Skin Color
M. Mahadevi, C. P. Sumathi · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2015
Face detection plays an important role in many applications of face biometrics.With so much of digitalization, many color images and different color models have evolved in recent years.To detect a face in such image, localizing the face from other background objects have also been a challenging task.Segmenting an image based on skin color as feature had been the motive of this paper.The paper implements region based skin color detection using L*a* b color model and a hybrid color model.Face is localized by a bounding box.Both the color models have been implemented to localize face for a set of database images, for some of real time images and have an accuracy of 92% and 93% respectively.
