  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present a novel space transformation to describe the skin and non-skin attributes, and build a new non-linear skin color classifier combining the spatial and probabilistic distributions of pixels. To weaken the illumination effect on images, we introduce a new gamma correction (GC) method. Experimental results show that our approach has good performance in skin color detection.
