Method of extracting face using color distortion information
First Claim
1. A method for extracting a face from a still image or moving image using color distortion information, the method comprising the steps of:
- extracting the color distortion information from the given image;
determining a skin color range in a color space using the extracted color distortion information; and
extracting the face by extracting a skin color region using the determined skin color range.

Abstract
Disclosed is a face extraction method using color distortion information. The face extraction method includes extracting color distortion information from the given image, determining a skin color range in a color space using the extracted color distortion information, and performing the face extraction by extracting the skin color region using the determined skin color range. According to the method, the face is more accurately extracted by extracting the color distortion information of a still image or moving image when the image is given, and variably and automatically determining the skin color range suitable for the given image using the color distortion information.

2. A face extraction method using color distortion information, comprising the steps of:
-
extracting the color distortion information with respect to either of two frames when the two frames are inputted for a predetermined time;
determining a skin color range in a color space using the extracted color distortion information;
extracting a skin color region using the determined skin color range;
extracting a difference image between the two input frames;
obtaining a region that has a skin color and a motion is produced by logically multiplying the extracted difference image and the skin color region;
designating a region satisfying a face ratio among the obtained regions as a candidate of the face; and
identifying the candidate of the face by a template matching.
