Abstract
A color representation of the face is presented to detect the color of the skin, eyes and hair in high resolution color images. A coarse segmentation of facial features is followed by color reduction in which the high number of colors within the original image is replaced by a smaller color set. The color categories were defined based on human cognition using psychophysical experiments. Experimental results of dominant color assignment were in excellent agreement with test sub jects who were to give their sub jective categorization of facial feature colors.
