Most face databases are meant for pattern recognition use. We report the creation of a
unique face database which may be used for color-related studies of faces. We describe it …

This paper presents a comprehensive review and evaluation for color-based skin detection.
The literature is reviewed in four categories: 1) colorspace selection, 2) skin color modeling …

The colours of objects perceived by a colour camera are dependent on the illumination
conditions. For example, when the prevailing illumination condition does not correspond to …

Saturation here refers to electronic saturation of the camera sensors which produces clipped
colors, and not the purity of color as in the hue-saturation and value scale. Saturated images …

Skin colour is an often used feature in human face and motion tracking. It has the
advantages of being orientation and size invariant and it is fast to process. The major …

Colour is an important and useful feature for object tracking and recognition in computer
vision. However, it has the difficulty that the colour of the object changes if the illuminant …

We present a face recognition method using template matching. Template matching is
performed with the help of a genetic algorithm to automatically test several positions around …

In this paper, a genetic algorithm guided control point extraction method that enables
automatic face image morphing is proposed. This method can morph two face images by …

We develop a linear model of commonly observed joint color changes in images due to
variation in lighting and certain non-geometric camera parameters. This is done by …

Human beings exhibit rapid learning when presented with a small number of images of a
new object. A person can identify an object under a wide variety of visual conditions after …
