Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for analyzing conditions associated with a physical feature using digital images. The method comprises acquiring a white-light image and an ultraviolet (“UV”) image of at least a portion of a body surface, such as a person's face, each of the white-light and UV images including a plurality of pixels and each pixel in the UV image corresponding to a respective pixel in the white-light image. The method further comprises identifying feature pixels in the white-light and UV images, and obtaining results associated with at least one physical condition using information in the feature pixels in the first white light and UV images.

Abstract: The present invention enables personalized recommendations for a user. In a preferred embodiment, a user submits an image of her face along with personal information. The image is analyzed to produce measurements of the user's facial characteristics. A user profile containing the image measurements and personal information is compared to two or more categories of reference data. For each category, one or more recommendations are produced according to the results of the comparison. The top recommendations are chosen according to a prioritization hierarchy and provided to the user.

Abstract: An electronic device for analyzing a skin of a subject and identifying a cosmetic product for the subject includes one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. The device transfers a digital image of at least a portion of a face of the subject. The digital image includes a plurality of pixels. Skin pixels in the plurality of pixels are identified. Color space values are identified from the skin pixels. A cosmetic product is identified at least based on the color space values. The device transfers information of the cosmetic product.

The method further comprises identifying lip-pixels in the white-light and UV images, and obtaining results associated with at least one lip condition using information in the lip pixels in the first white light and UV images.

Abstract: A method for imaging skin includes illuminating a subject with at least one light source of one or more light sources. The method includes acquiring a first image of the subject in a first polarization with a respective photodetector of one or more photodetectors configured to acquire images of the subject as illuminated by the at least one light source, and acquiring a second image of the subject in a second polarization with the respective photodetector. The method also includes generating a subtraction image by subtracting at least a portion of the first image from a corresponding portion of the second image, and providing at least a portion of the subtraction image for display.

Abstract: A method for determining a surface profile of subject's skin includes illuminating the subject with light from a plurality of light sources. The plurality of light sources having distinct colors is configured to illuminate the subject from distinct locations. A multi-color image of the subject is obtained. The multi-color image includes respective values corresponding to respective intensities of light of respective colors for each region of the subject. A surface profile of the subject is determined in accordance with the respective values corresponding to the respective intensities of light of the respective colors.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatic identification of a person based on an analysis of the person's skin. In one embodiment, a method for automatically identifying a person comprises acquiring white-light and UV images of a portion of the person's skin, generating a skin mask from the white-light image, and comparing the skin mask with a pre-stored skin mask of the person. If a substantial match is not found between the two skin masks, the person is not identified, and an error message such as “wrong person” or “person unknown” is returned. Otherwise, the method proceeds to obtain results associated with certain skin conditions using at least the UV image. The results are compared with pre-stored results to determine if the person is the right person or the wrong person.

Abstract: An imaging system for imaging skin includes a light source to illuminate a subject and a first polarizer to polarize light provided by the light source to illuminate the subject. The imaging system also includes a photodetector to acquire an image of the subject as illuminated by the light source and an adjustable second polarizer, coupled to the photodetector, to provide an adjustable degree of polarization of light received by the photodetector.
