Automatic Skin Segmentation for Gesture Recognition Combining Region and Support Vector Machine Active Learning
Skin segmentation is the cornerstone of many applications such as gesture recognition, face detection, and objectionable image filtering. In this paper, we attempt to address the skin segmentation problem for gesture recognition. Initially, given a gesture video sequence, a generic skin model is applied to the first couple of frames to automatically collect the training data. Then, an SVM classifier based on active learning is used to identify the skin pixels. Finally, the results are improved by incorporating region segmentation. The proposed algorithm is fully automatic and adaptive to different signers. We have tested our approach on the ECHO database. Comparing with other existing algorithms, our method could achieve better performance.
