System and method for applying a reflectance modifying agent to change a persons appearance based on a digital image

摘要

A computer-controlled system determines attributes of a frexel, which is an area of human skin, and applies a reflectance modifying agent (RMA) at the pixel level to automatically change the appearance of human features based on one or more digital images. The change may be based on a digital image of the same frexel, for as seen in a prior digital photograph captured previously by the computer-controlled system. The system scans the frexel and uses feature recognition software to compare the person's current features in the frexel with that person's features in the digital image. It then calculates enhancements to the make the current features appear more like the features in the digital image, and it applies the RMA to the frexel to accomplish the enhancements. Or the change may be based on a digital image of another person, through the application of RMAs.

主权项

1. A system to change an appearance of a region of skin of a first person, the system comprising:
a camera configured to generate one or more images of the region of human skin, the region of human skin being allocated into a plurality of frexels; a computing device executing enhancement software to determine a difference between the plurality of frexels within the region of skin of the first person and a desired image based on a first image of skin, the first image of skin depicting one or more features to be cosmetically enhanced in the region of skin and the desired image comprising a model for visual enhancements of the first image of skin; and an apparatus comprising at least one reflectance modifying agent application element, the reflectance modifying agent application element selectively applying a reflectance modifying agent to one or more of the plurality of frexels in accordance with the difference between the plurality of frexels within the region of skin and the first image of skin to emulate the one or more features of the desired image within the region of skin of the first person.
