In this paper, we present a new method for skin detection and segmentation, relying on spatial analysis of skin-tone pixels. Our contribution lies in introducing self-adaptive seeds, from which the skin probability is propagated using the distance transform. The seeds are determined from a local skin color model that is learned on-line from a presented image, without requiring any additional information. This is in contrast to the existing methods that need a skin sample for the adaptation, e.g., acquired using a face detector. In our experimental study, we obtained F-score of over 0.85 for the ECU benchmark, and this is highly competitive compared with several state-of-the-art methods.
