To classifying and filtering of adult images, in recent the computer vision techniques are actively investigated because rapidly increase for the amount of adult images accessible on the Internet. In this paper, we investigate and develop the tool filtering of adult images using skin color model. The tool is consisting of two steps. In the first step, we use a skin color classifier to extract skin color regions from an image. In the nest step, we use a region feature classifier to determine whether an image is an adult image or not an adult image depending on extracted skin color regions. Using histogram color model, a skin color classifier is trained for RGB color values of adult images and not adult images. Using SVM, a region feature classifier is trained for skin color ratio on 29 regions of adult images. Experimental results show that suggested classifier achieve a detection rate of 92.80% with 6.73% false positives.

본 논문에서는 컬러 영상에서 피부색 분할과 소벨 마스크를 이용한 얼굴 영역 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 YCbCr색공간에서 Cb와 Cr성분을 이용하여 피부색 분할을 한 후에 형태학적 필터링과 레이블링을 통해 얼굴 후보 영역을 분리한다. 분리된 각 후보 영역에 대해 휘도 성분 Y에서 소벨 마스크의 수직 연산자를 적용한 후에 수평 투영을 통해 나타난 최대값을 눈의 위치로 검출해낸다. 비슷하게 얼굴의 지형적인 특징과 소벨 마스크의 수평 연산자를 적용하여 계산된 수평 투영의 최대값에 따라 턱 부분을 검출한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법보다 얼굴 영역을 정확하게 분리할 수 있음을 보인다.

The skin color has been used as important cues in the systems for detecting or recognizmg the face. However, the color difference in images under different illuminants makes it difficult to find out the skin in these systems. For solving the problem, this paper proposes a method of recovering skin colors based on well-known color constancy approaches, such as Retinex, Gray World, White Patch, and Simplified Horn. To acquire experimental images under the colored scene illumination, the effects of colored illuminants were added to source images. Next, result images, having the corrected skin color by the constancy methods, were derived from the source images. The experiment results showed that most of the skin colors in our experiments were recovered into some steady range in the color space, and that Gray World had higher performance than the other methods compared.

In this paper, we proposed a method for face region extraction by skin-color hue, saturation and facial feature extraction in natural images. The proposed algorithm is composed of lighting correction and face detection process. In the lighting correction step, performing correction function for a lighting change. The face detection process extracts the area of skin color by calculating Euclidian distances to the input images using as characteristic vectors color and chroma in 20 skin color sample images. Eye detection using C element in the CMY color model and mouth detection using Q element in the YIQ color model for extracted candidate areas. Face area detected based on human face knowledge for extracted candidate areas. When an experiment was conducted with 10 natural images of face as input images, the method showed a face detection rate of 100%.

Skin color detection is used to classify input pixels into skin and non skin area, and it requires the classifier to have a high classification rate. In previous work, most classifiers used single color model for skin color detection. However the classification rate can be increased by using more than one color model due to the various characteristics of skin color distribution in different color models, and the MLP is also invested as a more efficient classifier with less parameters than other classifiers. But the input dimension and required parameters of MLP will be increased when using two color models in skin color detection, as a result, the increased parameters will cause the huge teaming time in MLP. In this paper, we propose a MLP based classifier with less parameters in two color models. The proposed partially connected MLP based on two color models can reduce the number of weights and improve the classification rate. Because the characteristic of different color model can be learned in different partial networks. As the experimental results, we obtained 91.8% classification rate when testing various images in RGB and CbCr models.

본 논문에서는 조명 보정과 지역적인 밝기 정보를 이용한 유해 영상에서의 피부색 검출 방법을 제안한다. 첫번째, 조명의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 입력 영상을 히스토그램 평활화하여 명암 값의 분포가 한쪽으로 치우치거나 균일하지 못한 영상의 명암 값 분포를 균일화 시켜 영상을 향상될 수 있도록 한다. 그 다음, 평활화 시킨 영상을 25 개의 블록으로 분할한 후, 각 블록에서의 밝기 값에 대한 통해 평균과 왜도를 구한다. 구해진 값들을 영상의 임계값으로 설정하여 이진화 시킨다. 그리고, 평활화시킨 영상의 RGB 값을 Lab 컬러 공간으로 변환한다. 변환된 컬러 공간내의 조명 성분 값인 L(Luminance)값을 추출하여 이를 역변환 한다. 역변환한 L 값은 비정규 조명을 갖는 유해 영상의 조명에 민감한 영향을 제거하기 위하여 평활화 영상에 합한다. 마지막으로, 밝기 임계값을 통해서 얻어진 이진영상내의 객체 영역과 RGB 피부색 임계값을 통한 조명 보정된 평활화 영상내의 피부색 영역의 공통된 영역을 결과값으로 추출한다.

In this study, we propose a method for effectively detecting and recognizing the face in image using RBFNNs pattern classifier and HCbCr-based skin color feature. Skin color detection is computationally rapid and is robust to pattern variation for face detection, however, the objects with similar colors can be mistakenly detected as face. Thus, in order to enhance the accuracy of the skin detection, we take into consideration the combination of the H and CbCr components jointly obtained from both HSI and YCbCr color space. Then, the exact location of the face is found from the candidate region of skin color by detecting the eyes through the Haar-like feature. Finally, the face recognition is performed by using the proposed FCM-based RBFNNs pattern classifier. We show the results as well as computer simulation experiments carried out by using the image database of Cambridge ICPR.

In this paper, we propose a real-time face detection/tracking methodology with Haar wavelets and skin color. The proposed method boosts face detection and face tracking performance by combining skin color and Haar wavelets in an efficient way. The proposed method resolves the problem such as rotation and occlusion due to the characteristic of the condensation algorithm based on sampling despite it uses same features in both detection and tracking. In particular, it can be applied to a variety of applications such as face recognition and facial expression recognition which need an exact position and size of face since it not only keeps track of the position of a face, but also covers the size variation. Our test results show that our method performs well even in a complex background, a scene with varying face orientation and so on.

We propose a new fast, algorithm which is used for detecting frontal face in the frequency domain based on human skin-color using OCT coefficient of dynamic image compression and skin color information. The region where each pixel has a value of skin-color were extracted from U and V value based on DCT coefficient obtained in the process of Image compression using skin-color map in the Y, U, V color space A morphological filter and labeling method are used to eliminate noise in the resulting image We propose the algorithm to detect fastly human face that estimate the directional feature and variance of luminance block of human skin-color Then Extraction of face was completed adaptively on both background have the object analogous to skin-color and background is simple in the proposed algorithm The performance of face detection algorithm is illustrated by some simulation results earned out on various races We confined that a success rate of 94 % was achieved from the experimental results.
