Classify the hair and face in android

Question

I want to Classify the hair and face in android so that I can apply some cosmetic effects on the face, without affecting the hair.

However, everyone has different hair style and some of their hair color are close to their face color. Nowadays, most of the libraries or web services only provide the detection for the face. How can I classify the hair and face color in android or is there any haar-classifier for me to do that ??

Please give me some advice. Thank you!

Maybe you can try something like this :

• Recognize the face with opencv
• Convert the image to the Y'CbCr color space
• Seperate the face from the hair
• Detect the color of the hair
