Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleImproved Dynamic Threshold Method for Skin Colour Detection Using Multi-Colour SpaceMohd Zamri Osman, Mohd Aizaini Maarof, Mohd Foad RohaniThis paper presents a skin colour detection based on an improved dynamic threshold method to reduce false skin detection. Current fixed threshold skin detection fails in certain situations such as misclassification between non skin-like with similar skin-like colour. Any true skin may falsely be detected as non-skin. Research work introduces high-level skin detection strategy based on online sampling where offline … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 19 Dec 2015 · 7,939 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleInhibition of Skin Colour Darkening (Skin Clearing and Lightening); Skin Firming; Body Calming and Body Vitalizing Effects of Vernonia amygdalina Leaf ExtractUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Obese human subjects treated with oral Vernonia amygdalina (V. amygdalina) aqueous leaf extract for one month who experienced the anti-obesity effects of V. amygdalina leaf extract reported a lighter; clearer; more glowing and firmer skin as side effects of the treatment (unpublished findings). In this study, oral Vernonia amygdalina aqueous leaf extract was taken daily for six months … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2011 · 8,259 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStatic Hand Gestures: Fingertips Detection Based on Segmented ImagesAhmad Yahya Dawod, Md Jan Nordin, Junaidi AbdullahFingertips detection is important for recognition of static gesture in sign language. This paper presents a new method that is based on YCbCr colour space and skeletonization for fingertips detection towards gesture segmentation and recognition. The method begins with the conversion of an image in RGB colour space into YCbCr colour space. Then, the chrominance Cb and Cr are extracted … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 4 Feb 2016 · 7,032 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSkin Firming, Skin Smoothing, Skin Blemishes Elimination and Anti-aging Effects of Increased Protein Intake in the Form of Voandzeia hypogeal Seed MealUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaStudies on the effect of excess calorie intake on the human body showed that it resulted in accumulation of excess body fat; the darkening of the skin colour and the development of a bumpy skin. Problem statement: The present study investigated the effects of increased protein intake on the human skin and on body fat. The skin firming, skin smoothing … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 28 Dec 2011 · 7,908 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHigh-precision Detection of Facial Landmarks to Estimate Head Motions Based on Vision ModelsXiaohong W. Gao, Sergey Anishenko, Dmitry Shaposhnikov et al.A new approach of determination of head movement is presented from the pictures recorded via digital cameras monitoring the scanning processing of PET. Two human vision models of CIECAMs and BMV are applied to segment the face region via skin colour and to detect local facial landmarks respectively. The developed algorithms are evaluated on the pictures (n=12) monitoring a subject’s … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,819 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractFreeze Drying of Grape Raw Materials in Red WinemakingGennadiy Vyacheslavovich Semenov, Gennadiy Ivanovich Kasyanov, Ivan Ivanovich Petkov, Irina Stanislavovna KrasnovaThe aim of this research was the development of technology, which is based on the winemaking from freeze dried grape raw materials. Results of research on the drying of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were shown. The regimes of preparation of grape raw materials and its subsequent freeze-drying are offered, providing the possibility of successful use in the dried state in the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 3 Aug 2017 · 7,410 accessesView PDF Cite
