Abstract

A novel technique to detect face skin regions using YCbCr color model is proposed in this paper. Initially Viola Jones algorithm is applied to locate the face region, then image cropping and bounding box methods are used to detect and crop the face region. Finally, YCbCr color model is proposed to suppress the background objects like hairs or any scenery and to retain only the face skin region. The proposed method was implemented using MATLAB tool and tested on various real images captured by digital camera and the results are analyzed. It gives good performance on images with complex background and effectively detects the face skin region of different sizes, poses and expressions under different environmental conditions.
