Abstract: Human skin tone variation can be easily seen from person to person within the same ethnic group or different ethnic group. The skin tone is analysed by melanosome size, significant and progressive variation in size and ethnicity. In face recognition the shape of the face gets identified but background used in real time is usually complex with varying lighting conditions. Automatic skin detection has been intensively studied for human-related recognition systems. The Gaussian model for skin detection is with its generality but they lack in their accuracy. Hence we suggest a new statistical colour model for skin detection called an elliptical boundary model. Detection and tracking of human face and hands are used for gesture recognition and to handle the domain transfer problem. The elliptical boundary model overcomes the limitations of the Gaussian model with better performance based on six chrominance spaces on the face, giving a much higher correct detection ratio with faster speed. For that, we are processing with two main domains that are Full stack development which handles the frontend and backend of the application and Machine Learning algorithms which handles the detection of the skin tone. Here we are dealing with image processing techniques for input and the output will find the skin tone of that particular image that we are processing. The applications that involve skin tone detection are face detection, gesture recognition and image filtering. Hence they overcome the different illumination conditions as different domains of skin pixels. The objective of the project is to detect the skin tone from a human face image with various tone characteristics. We are detecting the basic tone differentiation (Fair, Mild or Dark).
