Many studies have shown that color representation is very relevant in image processing and communications techniques. In this contribution, we propose a new color space, based on the "skin" component, in order to minimize the perceptual distortions introduced by digital watermarking. We have therefore defined a new color space, called YST, in which the brightness component is the same of YUV. Conversely, the S (skin) component has been obtained estimating the average values corresponding to a set of different colors of human faces. The criterion for this selection was to achieve a reasonable degree of generalization. The third component, T, is automatically identified by the Gram-Schmidt procedure in order to have an orthogonal color space. Analytical results are used to show the benefits obtained in digital watermarking by the new representation as well as in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio and video quality metrics.
