The reference image was selected based on human skin properties in the YCbCr color space. The results obtained on different color spaces showed that the YCbCr color space had higher tracker detection rates (TDR) compared to the RGB and grayscale color spaces. In addition to the TDR being used as a metric to determine the accuracy of a tracking method, another metric was formulated to quantify the accuracy of a tracking algorithm. The metric developed was object tracking variance (OTV) and object tracking standard deviation (OTStd). The OTV and OTStd are used to indicate the accuracy of tracking a reference point. Based on the results obtained, it indicates that the YCbCr color space has lower standard deviation compared to the RGB and grayscale color spaces. The results also indicate that the CbCr components of the YCbCr can be used for correct tracking without the Y component. ©2007 IEEE. date: 2007 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-57949112457&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2007.4658490&partnerID=40&md5=f2c9970980912e8d62a77d1623ec8897 id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2007.4658490 full_text_status: none publication: 2007 International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2007 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 770-774 refereed: TRUE isbn: 1424413559; 9781424413553 citation: Sebastian, P. and Yap, V.V.
