Abstract

This paper proposes a technique to extract human 
skin color regions from the color images based on combination 
of both RGB and YU'V color spaces. Since skin pixels can vary 
with ambient light, to find the range of values for which most 
skin pixels fall in the skin color space becomes a hard task. 
Therefore, other techniques based on normalized rg, HSV, YUV, 
YIQ, YCbCr, RGB, YCbCr-YU'V color spaces are presented 
and compared in this paper in order to select the appropriate 
control limits for the purpose of skin color segmentation. From 
the experimental results, the skin detection results obtained by 
the proposed technique based on RGB-YU'V color model is 
found to be the most appropriate color model compared to 
other methods.
