提出了一种利用肤色信息，建立 YCbCr 肤色模型空间作为人脸检测的预处理手段，利用小波分解和 BP 神经网络作为检测方法。对算法进行仿真验证，实验结果表明：该肤色模型空间 对光线、遮挡以及姿 态 有很好的 robust 特性 ；本检测方法达到较好的检测效果。 关键词 : 小波分解；神经网络；亮度补偿-Skin color model based on an oval face detection method

This a two stage method in which at first image RGB compensated and then converted to YCbCr to normalise overall illumination of image.Its cascaded implementation of section 2.A of paper "A FAST SKIN REGION DETECTOR" by Phil Chen, Dr.Christos Greecos

This paper presents a new human skin color model in YCbCr color space and its application to human face detection. Skin colors are modeled by a set of three Gaussian clusters, each of which is characterized by a centroid and a covariance matr
