Abstract
A computer vision/image processing method of removing blond hair color pixels in digital image skin detection for a variety of imaging related applications, such as redeye defects detection, employs a combination of skin detectors operating in a generalized RGB space in combination with a hue space derived from the original image space to detect skin pixels and blond hair pixels within the skin pixels.
