Abstract: In exemplary illustrative embodiments, a method of generating a digital image and/or modified depth information may include obtaining, via a first electronic sensor, a plurality of images of a target within a time period; selecting one or more pixels in a first image of the plurality of images; identifying corresponding pixels, that correspond to the one or more selected pixels, in one or more other images of the plurality of images, the one or more selected pixels and the corresponding pixels defining sets of reference pixels; identifying two or more images of the plurality of images having respective sets of reference pixels with optimal disparity; generating modified depth information; and/or generating a final digital image via the plurality of images and the modified depth information.

Abstract: A system that recommends cosmetic, dermatological, or fashion items based on photos taken of a person based in part or entirely on their skin color and other defining characteristics like hair color, eye color, and/or face shape. The system includes a device with a camera and a light source capable of producing multiple intensities of light, the device running a program that instructs the user with real time feedback on how to adjust their face, phone positioning or location in order for the application to capture a set of two or more optimal photos of their face. When optimal ambient lighting is found, the program captures multiple photos, varying the light source over the different captures. Calibrated color data is calculated by comparing how the brightness and color of the diffuse reflection on the skin of the user changes compared to the brightness and color of the specular reflection of the light source in the user's eye.
