An Improved Adaptive Threshold Skin Color Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

To solve the problem that traditional threshold segmentation model is not very robust in skin segmentation under different skin colors and different illuminations, an improved adaptive skin color model is proposed. This model detects the change rate of the skin color pixels by modifying the certain threshold while fixing others, then selects the optimum threshold adaptively. The experimental results show that this algorithm can effectively distinguish skin color regions and background regions, and has strong robustness on light disturbance.
