Abstract :
A hands segmentation scheme based on human skin color classification using the Restricted Coulomb Energy (RCE) neural network is proposed in this paper. An improved iteration strategy for the RCE neural network, with a reduction in the number of repetitive calculations, is utilized in our work. The experimental results show that our system is more accurate and less computational expensive than previous schemes.
