Human face perception is currently an active research area in the computer vision community. Skin detection is one of the most important and primary stages for this purpose. So far, many approaches are proposed to done this case. Near all of these methods have tried to find best match intensity distribution with skin pixels based on popular color spaces such as RGB, HSI or YCBCR. Results show that these methods cannot provide an accurate approach for every kind of skin. In this paper, an approach is proposed to solve this problem using a color probabilistic estimation technique. This approach is including two stages. In the first one, the skin intensity distribution is estimated using some train photos of pure skin, and at the second stage, the skin pixels are detected using Gaussian model and optimal threshold tuning. Then from the skin region facial features have been extracted to get the face from the skin region. In the results section, the proposed approach is applied on FEI database and the accuracy rate reached 99.25 be used for all kinds of skin using train stage which is the main advantage among the other advantages, such as Low noise sensitivity and low computational complexity.
