Image processing device, image processing method, program, and recording medium for detection of epidermis pattern

摘要

An epidermis pattern detection unit detects epidermis patterns in an epidermis image captured from the epidermis of skin by an epidermis image capturing unit. An acquired element analysis unit analyzes uniformity of shapes of the epidermis patterns in the epidermis image. A texture evaluation unit evaluates a texture state of the skin based on the uniformity of shapes of the epidermis patterns. The present technology, for example, may be applied to systems that evaluate the texture state of the skin.

主权项

1. An image processing device, comprising:
a processing device configured to detect epidermis patterns that are patterns of an epidermis in an epidermis image captured from the epidermis of skin; analyze uniformity of shapes of the epidermis patterns based on a result of analyzing distribution of shapes of skin ridge regions as the epidermis patterns, wherein analyzing the uniformity of shapes includes:
setting a first skin ridge region as a reference region;setting a second skin ridge region as a comparison region;calculating degree of difference in shape between the reference region and the comparison region;iteratively repeating the above settings and calculating using new ridge regions as reference regions and comparison regions until all ridge regions are used as the reference regions and the comparison regions;calculating an average degree of difference in shape for all combinations of skin ridge reference and comparison regions;calculating uniformity of shape for ridges based on the average degree of difference in shape; and evaluate a texture state of the skin based on the uniformity of shapes of the epidermis patterns.
