Resumo

Skin detection plays an important role in a wide range of image processing and computer vision applications. In short, there are three major approaches for skin detection: rule-based, machine learning and hybrid. They differ in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. Generally, machine learning and hybrid approaches outperform the rule-based methods, but require a large and representative training dataset as well as costly classification time, which can be a deal breaker for real time applications. In this paper, we propose an improvement of a novel method on rule-based skin detection that works in the YCbCr color space. Our motivation is based on the hypothesis that: (1) the original rule can be reversed and, (2) human skin pixels do not appear isolated, i.e. neighborhood operations are taken in consideration. The method is a combination of some correlation rules based on these hypothesis. Such rules evaluate the combinations of chrominance Cb, Cr values to identify the skin pixels depending on the shape and size of dynamically generated skin color clusters. The method is very efficient in terms of computational effort as well as robust in very complex image scenes. (AU)
