Abstract

In this paper, we presented a new formula for skin classification. The proposed formula can overcome sensitivity to noise. Our approach was based multi-skin color Hue, Saturation, and Value color space and multi-level segmentation. Skin regions were extracted using three skin color classes, namely the Caucasoid, Mongolid and Nigroud. Moreover, in this formula, we adopted Gaussian-based weight k-NN algorithm for skin classification. The experiment result shows that the best result was achieved for Caucasoid class with 84.29 percent fmeasure.
