Hand gesture recognition is viewed as a significant field of exploration in computer vision
with assorted applications in the human–computer communication (HCI) community. The …

Human Skin detection is one of the most widely used algorithms in vision literature which
has been numerously exploited both directly and indirectly in multifarious applications. This …

In this paper we propose a new method for skin detection in color images which consists in
spatial analysis using the introduced texture-based discriminative skin-presence features …

Despite the notable recent developments in the field of remote photoplethysmography
(rPPG), extracting a reliable pulse rate variability (PRV) signal still remains a challenge. In …

In this paper, we introduce a new self-adaptive algorithm for segmenting human skin regions
in color images. Skin detection and segmentation is an active research topic, and many …

An important application of machine vision is to provide a means to monitor a scene over a
period of time and report significant changes. Comparing intensity values of successive …

An algorithm for segmenting skin regions in color images using color and edge information
is presented. Skin colored regions are first detected using a Bayesian model of the human …

This paper presents a novel dynamic threshold approach to discriminate skin pixels and non-
skin pixels in color images. Fixed decision boundaries (or fixed threshold) classification …

Infants receiving care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) experience several painful
procedures during their hospitalization. Assessing neonatal pain is difficult because the …

This paper introduces a new method for skin regions segmentation which consists in spatial
analysis of skin probability maps obtained using pixel-wise detectors. There are a number of …
