Region-of-Interest Selection for Skin Detection Based Applications

In this paper we propose a simple and reliable approach for skin region segmentation to generate region-of-interest (ROI) for various human-computer interaction based applications. Performance of this approach is much better than existing approaches in terms of segmenting solid skin regions without generating much noisy segments. Moreover, it does not need any prior training session and it can adapt to detect skin pixels from images of people from different races taken at different imaging conditions.
