Abdallah and Mohamad A bou El-Nasr and A. Lynn Abbott}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper presents a new color face image database for benchmarking of automatic face detection algorithms and human skin segmentation techniques. It is named the VT-AAST image database, and is divided into four parts. Part one is a set of 286 color photographs that include a total of 1027 faces in the original format given by our digital cameras, offering a wide range of difference in orientation, pose, environment, illumination, facial expression and race. Part two contains the same set in a different file format. The third part is a set of corresponding image files that contain human colored skin regions resulting from a manual segmentation procedure. The fourth part of the database has the same regions converted into grayscale. The database is available on-line for noncommercial use. In this paper, descriptions of the database development, organization, format as well as information needed for benchmarking of algorithms are depicted in detail.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {12}, year = {2007}, pages = {3782 - 3786}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/8243}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/12}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 12, 2007}, }
