“15 seconds of fame” is an interactive art installation which elevates the face of a randomly
selected observer for 15 seconds into a “work of art”. The installation was inspired by Andy …

Sclera blood veins have been investigated recently as a biometric trait which can be used in
a recognition system. The sclera is the white and opaque outer protective part of the eye …

The segmentation of skin regions in color images is a preliminary step in several
applications. Many different methods for discriminating between skin and non-skin pixels are …

Skin detection is an important step for a wide range of research related to computer vision
and image processing and several methods have already been proposed to solve this …

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to many organizations around the world enforcing face
mask rules for personal protection. Manual checking whether individuals entering an …

In this paper, we propose a skin classification method exploiting faces and bodies
automatically detected in the image, to adaptively initialize individual ad hoc skin classifiers …

Sclera recognition has received attention recently due to the distinctive features extracted
from blood vessels within the sclera. However, uncontrolled human pose, multiple iris gaze …

We propose a reliable approach to detect skin regions that can be used in various human-
related image processing applications. We use a color distance map, which itself is a …

Three elliptical skin color models are presented for skin color detection. The first one is to
model the skin color cluster using a single ellipse ignoring the lightness dependency. It is …

Skin color detection is often an effective means used to define a set of candidate areas likely
to contain faces, hands, or other human organ in a scene. This can be performed by using …
