In this paper we propose a simple and reliable approach for skin region segmentation to generate region-of-interest (ROI) for various human-computer interaction based applications. Performance of this approach is much better than existing approaches in terms of segmenting solid skin regions without generating much noisy segments. Moreover, it does not need any prior training session and it can adapt to detect skin pixels from images of people from different races taken at different imaging conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
