Abstract
A skin detection methodology based on color skin clusters is proposed. The paper shows that, by adequately mixing color spaces, it is possible to segment the human skin, even if the images are collected from many different sources. Experimental results have shown the efficiency of the methodology in skin detection from different ethnics.
