Detecting Nakedness in Color Images

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 282))

Abstract

This chapter presents a new naked image detection algorithm. A learning based chromatic distribution-matching scheme is proposed to determine the image’s skin chroma distribution online such that it can tolerate the chromatic deviation coming from special lighting without increasing false alarm.
