Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The aim of this study is to design and develop a systematic dataset for multiple skin tones and to  analyse the reasons behind misclassifications of skin and non-skin, using different deep learning  models, colour spaces, and different optimisation parameters. Related academic literature have  cited three problems, namely data-related issues (e.g. skin-like), data volume (e.g. large volume  requires high computer source), and technical issues  (e.g.  optimising  parameters).  Two   articles  on  Deep  Learning  (DL)  for  skin detection failed to address the issues extensively.  DL foundation is a training dataset and  the  quality of  training depends  on  the  quality of   the  data-input.  To  address  the issues, a systematic dataset consisting of 17 million patches  was created for multiple skin tones with (skin-like) images. The dataset was then converted into  different colour spaces with multiple labels that characterise different scenarios, running  different DL. Experimentally  utilised  YCbCr  and  CNN  present  high  performance  of  binary   and multi-class classifications. Binary classification of skin and skin-like resulted in 98% and  multi-class classification of four classes 84% and 69% for five classes respectively. Furthermore,  a binary classification between skin tone and skin-like (e.g. black skin tone  and  black   skin-like)  resulted  in  97%,  81%,  60%,  and  51%  for  black,  brown, medium, and fair  consequently.  From empirical experiment, darker skin tone is a better classification accuracy  followed by optimising parameters (Hidden-Layers, Neurons, Activations-Functions,  Optimiser,   Initialiser,  Data-Input,  and  Data-Size).   A  hybrid CNN-RNN benchmark improves the accuracy by  99% compared with 98%, and 97% for SAE compared to 91% as reported.  By studying different skin  scenarios, one can analyse  the  reasons  behind  overlapping  between  skin  and  skin-tones.   This  is  a promising study for further research by developing and applying a generalised version of skin detector with different applications.
