Example text
In other words, for any prior probabilities P (object), P (bg) = 0, all possible segmentations can be obtained by varying Θ from 0 to 1. g. 5. 3 This is usually easier to handle than the computation of exact values for P (object) and P (bg). 11) A suitable choice of Θ is crucial for an accurate discrimination between background and target. In case the recording conditions remain constant and are known in advance, Θ can be set manually, but for uncontrolled environments an automatic determination is desirable.
Texture features shall not be considered here because resolution and contrast that can be achieved with consumer cameras are usually insufficient for their reliable and accurate computation. 4. Recording conditions for the example recognition applications. Domain Condition(s) Image Content Ideally, the only skin colored object in the image is the user’s hand.
