Skin detection by dual maximization of detectors agreement for video monitoring

 

[Description][Related publication][Dataset][Sample results][Software][Additional references]

This page presents sample results of our approach for skin detection which is able to adapt its parameters to image data and select the optimum color space channels for maximizing performance. Results on human activity recognition datasets are compared against state-of-the-art approaches.

Evaluation data with ground truth data and a MATLAB implementation are also provided.
