Abstract
Skin color is a very important information for an automatic face recognition. In this paper, we proposed a skin region extraction method using the MLP(Multi-Layer Perceptron) and skin color model. We use the adaptive lighting compensation technique for improved performance of skin region extraction. Also, using an preprocessing filter, normally large areas of easily distinct non-skin pixels, are eliminated from further processing. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance than the conventional methods, and reduces processing time by 31~49% on average.
