Skin Detection

Detects skin by producing a map of "skin-like" pixels within a given image.

Description

This file helps identify the presence of a human face, hand or any other body part by identifying and marking skin-like pixels within a given image. With further image processing techniques, the output produced by this script can be refined and processed to be fed into larger face detection and tracking, gesture recognition, and other HCI applications.

• Required Products: Image Processing Toolbox
• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.10 (2010a)

Hello all,

I'd appreciate it if you can drop a line about the performance of this script for your images, and any cases that you might encounter under which the performance drops down steeply or vice versa.

Or any other functionality you'd like to see. Thanks!

Unexpected MATLAB expression.

and it says there is ),],} one of these missing....i hv chekd they r ok....please suggest what to do.....i have to implement it in my project.
thank you.

its working now but with some change. instead of typical syntax as follows:

function [out bin] = generate_skinmap('E:\DSP\skin detection\skin detect from net\nadal.jpg')

it is working with this:

function [out bin] = generate_skinmap, 'E:\DSP\skin detection\skin detect from net\nadal.jpg';

plz suggest why it is happening like this? brackets have to be replaced with , and ;

[shekhar Raheja]

what is the need of applying grayworlg algo?
why do we need illumination compensation?
without it also its workikng fine.
