Abstract
A method for identifying skin region in an image includes: obtaining a target image; and for each of a plurality of pixels in the target image, calculating a probability that the pixel corresponds to skin captured in the image, wherein calculating the probability includes: calculating a first probability of said each pixel in the target image in a first color space the first probability being a probability that the pixel is skin in the first color space; calculating a second probability of said each pixel in the target image in a second color space, the second probability being a probability that the pixel is skin in the second color space; and determining a combined probability that said each pixel in the target image is skin, the combined probability that the pixel is skin being an arithmetic mean value of the first probability and the second probability of the pixel.
