Physical Measurement and Spectral Reproduction of Human Skin Color

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work forms part of large project for measuring the skin colors. This topic has been historically extensively studied due to the strong need from the photographic, digital imaging and medical applications. However there are still many unresolved issues, for example the measuring accuracy and the difference between different measuring methods. The paper focused on one of the measuring methods: camera. The goal is to develop PCA methods to reconstruct the reflectance from images captured by a camera, and the result shows that using three components is enough to acquire high accuracy, and it is possible to have a single skin model to predict all the available skin colors.
