A Comparative Study of Skin-Color Models

In this paper, we report the results of a comparative study on skin-color models generally used for facial region location. These include two 2D Gaussian models developed in normalized RGB and HSV color spaces respectively, a 1D lookup table model of hue histogram, and an adaptive 3D threshold box model. Also, we present a new model - called “adaptive hue lookup table”. The model is developed by introducing the so-called “Continuously Adaptive Mean Shift” (Camshift) technique
