Abstract
An electronic device and method for human skin detection based on a human body-prior is provided. A color image of a person is acquired, and a 3D body model of the person is estimated based on the color image. One or more unclothed parts of the 3D body model are identified. The one or more unclothed parts correspond to one or more body parts, of which at least a portion of skin remains uncovered by clothes. From the color image, pixel information corresponding to the one or more unclothed parts is extracted and classification information is determined based on the pixel information. The classification information includes a set of values, each indicating a likelihood of whether a corresponding pixel of the color image is part of an unclothed skin portion of the person. The unclothed skin portion is detected in the color image based on the classification information.
