State-of-the-art methods often use the gray-scale face image as input. In this paper, we propose to use an additional feature to the face image: the skin color. The new feature set is tested on a benchmark database, namely XM2VTS, using a simple discriminant artificial neural network. Results show that the skin color information improves significantly the performance.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2001/rr01-44.pdf}, postscript = {ftp://ftp.idiap.ch/pub/reports/2001/rr01-44.ps.gz}, ipdinar={2001}, ipdmembership={vision}, language={English}, }
