Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting human skin color region in JPEG image compression domain, comprising the steps of: initializing system parameters; performing Huffman decoding and inverse quantization on a to-be-detected JPEG image to obtain DCT coefficients corresponding to all image blocks on Y, Cb and Cr components; calculating color and texture characteristics of each image block; calculating skin color probability of each image block; according to the skin probabilities and texture characteristics, judging if each image block is a human skin color region. The advantages of the invention: it need not completely decompress an image but directly operates on a compressed code flow, speeding up the human skin color detection and improving detecting accuracy.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting a human skin color area in an image, in particular to a detection method for a human body skin color area in a JPEG image compression domain. Background technique

[0002] An important type of information in images is human information, and human skin is an important physiological feature of human beings. Fast and accurate detection of human skin color regions in images has important theoretical and practical value in applications such as face detection and sensitive image filtering.

[0003] JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is an international still image compression standard formulated by the still image compression standard formulation committee under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Due to the excellent quality of JPEG for image static compression, it has achieved great success. Eighty percent of the images on the website currently use the JPEG compression standard. ...

Embodiment Construction

[0027] The method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1, the human skin color area detection method on the JPEG image compression domain of the present invention mainly comprises the following steps:

[0029] In step 100, system parameters are initialized. These parameters include: texture feature threshold, skin color probability threshold, image block size, human skin color distribution model. The texture feature threshold and color feature threshold are fixed values ​​obtained by experiments. The image block size refers to the size of the basic image block when detecting the human skin color area, the image block size should be an integral power of 2, and must be one of the following three: 8×8, 4×4, 2×2; Human skin color distribution model depicts the possibility of various colors belonging to human skin color. Various existing or future human skin co...
