High Speed Skin Color Detection and Localization on a GPU
Abstract
In this paper, we present a simple yet novel method for high speed skin color detection and localization on images and video using the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and common graphics programming techniques. Our approach is innovative in that it provides a system for skin recognition and localization on the GPU at a speed much higher than that on the CPU. We also test in detail, the performance of different classes of cards and data buses.
