Skin Color Detection Method Based on Direct Least Square Ellipse Fitting in CrCbCg Space

Skin color detection is an important in computer vision.This work presents a new efficient method for skin color detection based on an improved direct least square ellipse fitting in the space CrCbCg. The color distribution statistics of three-dimensional CrCbCg is obtained by fitting the color distribution ellipse boundary in the Cr-Cb, Cr-Cg, Cb-Cg plane exactly ,finally ,the criteria based on the statistics is used to detect skin color area accurately. Experimental results show that this method improves the robustness of the skin color detection to complex environment.
