A Face Detection Algorithm in Color Image Based on Skin Color Segmentation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at color images under complex background, this paper put forward a face detection algorithm based on skin color segmentation, combining the geometric characteristics. The skin region can be obtained by using skin color model and OTSU method to automatically optimize threshold segmentation image. By analyzing the characteristics of skin color region, the face position is determined by criterion of ellipse area.
