More Information
Summary:A system and method for detecting human skin tone in one or more images. The system includes an image processing module configured to receive an image and provide contrast enhancement of the image so as to compensate for background illumination in the image. The image processing module is further configured to detect and identify regions of the contrast-enhanced image containing human skin tone based, at least in part, on the utilization of multiple color spaces and adaptively generated thresholds for each color space. A system and method consistent with the present disclosure is configure to provide accurate detection of human skin tone while accounting for variations in skin appearance due to a variety of factors, including background illumination and objects.
