Publication number: 20260141749Abstract: Real-time makeup virtual try-on (VTO) on resource-constrained platforms like mobile devices and web browsers demands a delicate balance: models must be accurate enough for realistic results yet lightweight and fast enough for smooth performance. Existing approaches often rely on separate models for facial landmark detection and occlusion-aware segmentation, increasing complexity and hindering real-time performance. There is proposed, in accordance with embodiments, a unified model that performs both tasks within a single, highly efficient architecture. Specifically designed for VTO, the model offers enhanced accuracy around critical areas like the eyes and lips. Operations can be further optimized for real-time performance by leveraging temporal information: predictions from previous video frames guide current predictions, increasing parallelism and reducing inference time.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2024Publication date: May 21, 2026Applicant: L'OrealInventors: Kin Ching Lydia CHAU, Zhi YU, Ruowei JIANG
