Ensemble Threshold Segmentation for hand detection

Hand detection can be used for human computer interaction (HCI) and has many methods that use to detect the hand image. Skin color detection is one of the methods however there are many types of color model with threshold optimization problem. This paper proposes an Ensemble Threshold Segmentation method (ETS) to improve the segmentation technique. The ETS was implemented to optimize threshold of any color model to compare the accuracy with existing color models and well-known Otsu´s method. The results show that the best accuracy technique is the ETS with HSV color model.
