SREDS: A dichromatic separation based measure of skin color
Face recognition (FR) systems are fast becoming ubiquitous. However, differential performance among certain demographics was identified in several widely used FR models. The skin tone of the subject is an important factor in addressing the differential performance. Previous work has used modeling methods to propose skin tone measures of subjects across different illuminations or utilized subjective labels of skin color and demographic information. However, such models heavily rely on consistent background and lighting for calibration, or utilize labeled datasets, which are time-consuming to generate or are unavailable. In this work, we have developed a novel and data-driven skin color measure capable of accurately representing subjects' skin tone from a single image, without requiring a consistent background or illumination. Our measure leverages the dichromatic reflection model in RGB space to decompose skin patches into diffuse and specular bases.

Generalizability and Application of the Skin Reflectance Estimate Based on Dichromatic Separation (SREDS)
Face recognition (FR) systems have become widely used and readily available in recent history. However, differential performance between certain demographics has been identified within popular FR models. Skin tone differ…

We propose a novel reflection color model consisting of body essence and (mixed) neuter, and present an effective method for separating dichromatic reflection components using a single image. Body essence is an entity in…
Log NeRF: Comparing Spaces for Learning Radiance Fields
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have achieved remarkable results in novel view synthesis, typically using sRGB images for supervision. However, little attention has been paid to the color space in which the network is lear…
