Abstract

This paper focuses on a new and intuitive method for transferring and modifying human skin color based on statistical and photometric clues between two photographs. We construct skin color transfer model for both photographs by clustering pixels along the direction of principal vector as a result of least square fitting. Color and texture features of source skin is transferred to that of target skin by changing Gaussian distribution of each pair of the matched clusters. Discarding or selecting the clusters including specular component also enables to generate various tones of skin color. Interactive tuning of each color cluster adds various effects like weakening the color of flush and exaggerating the traits of face with make-up. We demonstrate realistic skin color transfer results improved from previous works and intuitive handling of skin colors by the skin color transfer model.
