Abstract

Abstract: Hair contour extraction has important application in digital entertainment and simulation. An automatic hair contour extraction method for images with complex background was proposed. Image segmentation algorithm from foreground image was used to eliminate the interference of background image; face recognition and hair detection algorithms were employed to find the hair position and realize the automatic identification of the hair; in order to improve the accuracy of contour extraction, adaptive skin detection algorithm was used to eliminate the interference of face. The proposed method was applied on a lot of image examples. Experimental results demonstrate that this method can automatically extract hair contour effectively, and it also works well for some examples with complex background.
