The present invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment method comprising the application of said composition to keratin materials and also to the cosmetic use of said composition for caring for the skin.
Abstract: A computing device obtains a first video recorded by a first camera (e.g., a rear-facing camera of a mobile computing device) having a first field of view in an illuminated environment and obtains a second video recorded by a second camera having a second field of view (e.g., a forward-facing camera of a mobile computing device) in the illuminated environment that differs from the first field of view. The second field of view is directed toward a face of a live subject. The computing device extracts lighting environment images from the first video and face images from the second video. The computing device processes the face images and the lighting environment images (e.g., using machine learning models) to obtain a plurality of determinations of skin tone of the face and combines the determinations of skin tone of the face to determine a combined determination of skin tone.
