Patent attributes
Depicted skin selection is described. An image processing system selects portions of a digital image that correspond to exposed skin of persons depicted in the digital image without selecting other portions. Initially, the image processing system determines a bounding box for each person depicted in the digital image. Based solely on the portion of the digital image within the bounding box, the image processing system generates an object mask indicative of the pixels of the digital image corresponding to a respective person. Portions of the digital image outside the bounding box are not used for generating this object mask. The image processing system then identifies the pixels of the digital image indicated by the object mask and having a similar color to a range of exposed skin colors determined for the respective person. The processing system generates skin selection data describing the identified pixels and enabling the exposed skin selection.
