Skin Color Model

This paper integrates skin color model and improved AdaBoost into a face detection method for high-resolution images with complex backgrounds. Firstly, the skin color areas were detected in a multi-color space. Each image was subject to adaptive brightness compensation, and converted into the YCbCr space, and a skin color model was established to solve face similarity. After eliminating the background interference by morphological method, the skin color areas were segmented to obtain the candidate face areas. Next, the inertia weight control factors and random search factor were introduced to optimize the global search ability of particle swarm optimization (PSO). The improved PSO was adopted to optimize the initial connection weights and output thresholds of the neural network. After that, a strong AdaBoost classifier was designed based on optimized weak BPNN classifiers, and the weight distribution strategy of AdaBoost was further improved. Finally, the improved AdaBoost was employed to detect the final face areas among the candidate areas. Simulation results show that our face detection method achieved high detection rate at a fast speed, and lowered false detection rate and missed detection rate.

In face image with complex background, the CbCr skin color region will have offset when considering the illumination change. Therefore, the non-skin color pixels which luminance is less than 80 will be mistaken as skin color pixels and the skin color pixels which luminance is greater than 230 will be mistaken as non-skin color pixels. In order to reduce the misjudgments, an improved skin color model of nonlinear piecewise is put forward in this paper. Firstly, the skin color model of non-piecewise is analyzed and the experimental results show that by this model there is an obvious misjudgment in face detection. Then the skin color model of nonlinear piecewise is mainly analyzed and is demonstrated by mathematics method. A large number of training results show that the skin color model of nonlinear piecewise has better clustering distribution than the skin color model of non-piecewise. At lastly, the face detection algorithm adopting skin color model of nonlinear piecewise is analyzed. The results show that this algorithm is better than the algorithm adopting skin color model of non-piecewise and it makes a good foundation for the application of face image.
