System And Method For Applying A Reflectance Modifying Agent To Improve The Visual Attractiveness Of Human Skin

A computer-controlled system determines attributes of a frexel, an area of human skin, and applies a modifying agent (RMA) at the pixel level, typically to make the skin appear more youthful and so more attractive. The system scans the frexel, identifies unattractive attributes, and applies the RMA, typically with an inkjet printer. The identified attributes relate to reflectance and may refer to features such as irregular-looking light and dark spots, age-spots, scars, and bruises. Identified attributes may also relate to the surface topology of the skin, for more precisely enhancing surface irregularities such as bumps and wrinkles. Feature mapping may be used, for example to make cheeks appear pinker and cheekbones more prominent. The RMA can be applied in agreement with identified patterns, such as adding red to a red frexel, or in opposition, such as adding green or blue to a red frexel, according to idealized models of attractiveness.

According to various embodiments, a chromaticity diagram device (100, 300, 500) may have the following: a chromaticity diagram (102) which has a plurality of mutually different reference colors (102a, 102b, 102c), wherein the chromaticity diagram (102) has a transparent or translucent recognition region, by means of which a color of a hair tuft can be captured; and a hair clip device (106) attached to the chromaticity diagram (102) or integrally formed on the chromaticity diagram (102), which hair clip device is arranged to clamp a hair tuft to be captured in its hair color to the recognition region.

Systems for custom coloration

Novel systems and methods for performing treatment (e.g., coloration) of keratinous fibers are disclosed. The methods and systems utilize one or more of a dispensing device which is configured to provide customized composition for treating keratinous fibers (e.g., a coloring composition), optionally formed from tablets; an optical reader, for obtaining sufficient characteristics of the keratinous fibers to make a realistic prediction of the outcome of a treatment (e.g., coloring treatment); a computational units for predicting an outcome of a treatment, optionally being interfaced with the dispensing device and for selecting a customized treatment; and tablet formulations which are useful in preparing customized composition for treating keratinous fibers. Further disclosed are rapidly disintegrating tablets for use in the preparation of compositions for treating keratinous fibers.

Apparatus for applying coating to nails

A system that can paint a user's nail. The system can utilize a user's smartphone and use the touch screen and camera to detect the position of the user's nail. The device can move an applicator to an appropriate position or instruct the user to move their finger relative to the applicator to paint the nail.

IMAGE-BASED SKIN DIAGNOSTICS

Examples of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for generating more accurate image(s) of a user via a camera of a consumer product (e.g., mobile phone, tablet, laptop, etc.) for subsequent use in, for example, computer implemented applications, such as skin diagnosis, facial recognition, cosmetic simulation, selection and/or recommendation, etc. Examples of the systems and methods improve image accuracy and quality by addressing issues relating to unpredictable and inconsistent lighting conditions, among others. In an example, the system includes a mobile computing device and an object with known lighting and/or color attributes (e.g., a reference). Such an object acts as a calibration device for images to be captured by the mobile computing device. 1. A computer implemented method for accurate skin diagnosis , comprising:calibrating, by a computing device, one or more images of an area of interest associated with a subject; anddetermining a skin condition based on the one or more calibrated images.2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more images includes a plurality of images taken sequentially over a period of time claim 1 , and wherein said determining a skin condition is based on the plurality of images.3. The computer implemented method of claim 2 , further comprisinggenerating a treatment protocol and/or product recommendation for an area of interest of the subject based on the determined skin condition.4. The computer implemented method of claim 2 , wherein said calibrating claim 2 , by a computing device claim 2 , one or more images of an area of interest associated with a subject includes:obtaining calibration data from a calibration device;calibrating a camera based on the calibration data; andcapturing the one or more images of a user with the calibrated camera.5. The computer implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:generating, via the calibration device, light meter data or color temperature data ...
