Analysis of Skin Inheritance Using FOS

The texture and colour of human skin varies from one individual to another. These two features pave the way for study of skin in detail. These features are inherited by a child, either from its parents or grandparents or both. The study concentrates in determining the skin colour and texture dominance in a child by using image processing techniques. The colour spaces used for extraction of these features are RGB, HSV and YCbCr. First order statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation, variance and entropy are calculated of the captured images. The Fuzzy Logic Toolbox from MATLAB is used for classification and analysis of ambiguity in skin colour and textural features for genetic dominance classification.
