A fuzzy hypermatrix-based skin color filtering method

In this paper, a classification method is proposed. The idea behind the classifier is the pre-calculation of fuzzy membership function values that are stored in fuzzy multidimensional arrays (so-called fuzzy hypermatrices) so their data can be accessed quickly run-time using the parameter values of the input data. This paper focuses on the 3 dimensional 2-class case in order to achieve rapid skin area identification based on pixel color using the images of a camera. A training algorithm is presented and the performance is illustrated by an image processing problem.
