Face detection is a challenging and important problem in Computer Vision. In most of the face recognition systems, face detection is used in order to locate the faces in the images. There are different methods for detecting faces in images. One of these methods is to try to find faces in the part of the image that contains human skin. This can be done by using the information of human skin color. Skin detection can be challenging due to factors such as the differences in illumination, different cameras, ranges of skin colors due to different ethnicities, and other variations. Neural networks have been used for detecting human skin. Different methods have been applied to neural networks in order to increase the detection rate of the human skin. The resulting image is then used in the detection phase. The resulting image consists of several components and in the face detection phase, the faces are found by just searching those components. If the components consist of just faces, then the faces can be detected using correlation. Eye and lip detections have also been investigated using different methods, using information from different color spaces. The speed of face detection methods using color images is compared with other face detection methods.

Rule Based

Human skin detection is an important and challenging problem in computer vision. Skin detection can be used as the first phase in face detection when using color images. The differences in illumination and ranges of skin colors have made skin detection a challenging task. Gaussian model, rule based methods, and artificial neural networks are methods that have been used for human skin color detection. Deep learning methods are new techniques in learning that have shown improved classification power compared to neural networks. In this paper the authors use deep learning methods in order to enhance the capabilities of skin detection algorithms. Several experiments have been performed using auto encoders and different color spaces. The proposed technique is evaluated compare with other available methods in this domain using two color image databases. The results show that skin detection utilizing deep learning has better results compared to other methods such as rule-based, Gaussian model and feed forward neural network.

Optimum Threshold

To solve the problem that traditional threshold segmentation model is not very robust in skin segmentation under different skin colors and different illuminations, an improved adaptive skin color model is proposed. This model detects the change rate of the skin color pixels by modifying the certain threshold while fixing others, then selects the optimum threshold adaptively. The experimental results show that this algorithm can effectively distinguish skin color regions and background regions, and has strong robustness on light disturbance.

Research Task

World Health Organization (WHO) manage health-related statistics all around the world by taking the necessary measures. What could be better for health and what may be the leading causes of deaths, all these statistics are well organized by WHO. Burn Injuries are mostly viewed in middle and low-income countries due to lack of resources, the result may come in the form of deaths by serious injuries caused by burning. Due to the non-accessibility of specialists and burn surgeons, simple and basic health care units situated at tribble areas as well as in small cities are facing the problem to diagnose the burn depths accurately. The primary goals and objectives of this research task are to segment the burnt region of skin from the normal skin and to diagnose the burn depths as per the level of burn. The dataset contains the 600 images of burnt patients and has been taken in a real-time environment from the Allied Burn and Reconstructive Surgery Unit (ABRSU) Faisalabad, Pakistan. Burnt human skin segmentation was carried by the use of Otsu's method and the image feature vector was obtained by using statistical calculations such as mean and median. A classifier Deep Convolutional Neural Network based on deep learning was used to classify the burnt human skin as per the level of burn into different depths. Almost 60 percent of images have been taken to train the classifier and the rest of the 40 percent burnt skin images were used to estimate the average accuracy of the classifier. The average accuracy of the DCNN classifier was noted as 83.4 percent and these are the best results yet. By the obtained results of this research task, young physicians and practitioners may be able to diagnose the burn depths and start the proper medication.
