Skin color detection is an essential required step in various applications related to computer vision. These applications will include face detection, finding pornographic images in movies and photos, finding ethnicity, age, diagnosis, and…
Skin Segmentation is widely used in biometric applications such as face detection, face recognition, face tracking, and hand gesture recognition. However, several challenges such as nonlinear illumination, equipment effects, personal…
Faces form the basis for a rich variety of judgments in humans, yet the underlying features remain poorly understood. Although fine-grained distinctions within a race might more strongly constrain possible facial features used by humans…
This study presents a robust framework that leverages advanced imaging techniques and machine learning for feature extraction and classification of key human attributes-namely skin tone, hair color, iris color, and vein-based undertones.…
Pattern recognition problem rely upon the features inherent in the pattern of images. Face detection and recognition is one of the challenging research areas in the field of computer vision. In this paper, we present a method to identify…
Convolutional Neural Networks have demonstrated human-level performance in the classification of melanoma and other skin lesions, but evident performance disparities between differing skin tones should be addressed before widespread…
This paper strives to measure apparent skin color in computer vision, beyond a unidimensional scale on skin tone. In their seminal paper Gender Shades, Buolamwini and Gebru have shown how gender classification systems can be biased against…
This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of skin color measurement methods from dermatoscopic images using a synthetic dataset (S-SYNTH) with controlled ground-truth melanin content, lesion shapes, hair models, and 18 distinct…
Currently, diagnosis of skin diseases is based primarily on visual pattern recognition skills and expertise of the physician observing the lesion. Even though dermatologists are trained to recognize patterns of morphology, it is still a…
Human image datasets used to develop and evaluate technology should represent the diversity of human phenotypes, including skin tone. Datasets that include skin tone information frequently rely on manual skin tone ratings based on the…
Machine-learning models applied to skin images often have degraded performance when the skin colour captured in images (SCCI) differs between training and deployment. These discrepancies arise from a combination of entangled environmental…
Face recognition (FR) systems are fast becoming ubiquitous. However, differential performance among certain demographics was identified in several widely used FR models. The skin tone of the subject is an important factor in addressing the…
Face detection is a long-standing challenge in the field of computer vision, with the ultimate goal being to accurately localize human faces in an unconstrained environment. There are significant technical hurdles in making these systems…
Ethnicity is a key demographic attribute of human beings and it plays a vital role in automatic facial recognition and have extensive real world applications such as Human Computer Interaction (HCI); demographic based classification;…
Skin lesion segmentation is one of the first steps towards automatic Computer-Aided Diagnosis of skin cancer. Vast variety in the appearance of the skin lesion makes this task very challenging. The contribution of this paper is to apply a…
Gender is an important demographic attribute of people. This paper provides a survey of human gender recognition in computer vision. A review of approaches exploiting information from face and whole body (either from a still image or gait…
This study aims to investigate implementing EM and FCM algorithms for skin color extraction. The capabilities of three well-known color spaces, namely, RGB, HSV, and YCbCr for skin-tone extraction are assessed by using statistical modeling…
There is a requirement to determine whether a given person of interest has already been observed over a network of cameras in video surveillance systems. A human appearance obtained in one camera is usually different from the ones obtained…
Self-supervised detection and segmentation of foreground objects aims for accuracy without annotated training data. However, existing approaches predominantly rely on restrictive assumptions on appearance and motion. For scenes with dynamic…
Automatic classification of pigmented, non-pigmented, and depigmented non-melanocytic skin lesions have garnered lots of attention in recent years. However, imaging variations in skin texture, lesion shape, depigmentation contrast, lighting…
