Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSkin Color Detection Model Using Neural Networks and its Performance EvaluationK. K. Bhoyar, O. G. KakdeProblem statement: Skin color detection is used as a preliminary step in numerous computer vision applications like face detection, nudity recognition, hand gesture detection and person identification. In this study we present a pixel based skin color classification approach, for detecting skin pixels and non skin pixels in color images, using a novel neural network symmetric classifier. The neural classifiers … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Multi-Centroid Moment Invariants in Thermal-Based Face Identification SystemKhairul Hamimah Abas, Osamu OnoProblem statement: Current paramount methods and approaches in face identification field rely on facial characteristics; such as location of eyes, length of nose and mouth, regardless the type of medium used to acquire the facial images. The visibility of these facial characteristics varies significantly with environmental factors (e.g., lighting elements). Various researches have been devoted to develop methodologies for addressing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite
