| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we introduce a new method to recover and reconstruct skin color from images over-exposed to scene illumination. Over-exposure is a normal and serious problem in photography especially in images taken under direct sunlight or when extra illumination is added to a scene using a camera's flash. The skin color regions most susceptible to over-exposure include areas around the forehead, tip of the nose and the cheeks. The recovery of skin color can find applications in many areas of computer vision for example face detection, recognition and facial expressions analysis. Our method uses the feed-forward neural network and a distance measure method to learn and construct the skin color face image map. The distance measure method we used is the Cylindrical Metric method (CMM). We learnt the relationships between neighboring pixels skin color distance and their relative position in a face. We then used this information to reconstruct over-exposed skin color regions. |
