%X To solve the problem of selecting appropriate color space for skin detection, a feature-selection-based method is exploited and two improvements on traditional method are proposed:Firstly, mutual information is used to narrow the feature selection range, then feature subset which produces the best classification accuracy will be selected; Secondly, a variety of possible feature subset initialization schemes are tested, and then choose feature set that reveal the best result. Experimental results and comparative analysis show that the hybrid color spaces obtained by the improved feature selection method have better skin detection performance than traditional color spaces and existing hybrid color spaces.
