Abstracts

EN

In this paper we present high computational complexity algorithms for detecting skin and non-skin colour. Because of their complexity they are not suitable for nowadays mobile devices but can be used in systems working on more demanding machines. The selection and implementation of algorithms gives accuracy about 80-90%.
