  • Publication number: 20230274830
    Abstract: One aspect is a method for generating an image of a human face expected to have at least one changed perceptive trait. Such method includes encoding an image of a human face into a vector to generate an input image vector. A scaled direction vector is applied to the input image vector to generate a modified input image vector. The modified input image vector is converted into a morphed image of the actual human face. The scaled direction vector is determined using an artificial neural network trained to associate human faces to with ratings of perceptive traits, to determine a unit direction vector. The unit direction vector is based on at least one chosen perceptive trait. An amplitude for scaling the unit direction vector is determined by a limit on change in facial features obtainable by known treatments.

  • Patent number: 11710265
    Abstract: A method for imaging expected results of a medical cosmetic treatment includes converting an input image of an anatomical feature into an input image vector. A direction vector corresponding to the medical cosmetic treatment is determined. An amplitude of the direction vector is determined. The direction vector is multiplied by the determined amplitude to obtain a product vector. The product vector is vector added to the input image vector. An output image corresponding to the expected visual appearance of the human anatomical feature is generated from the vector added product vector and input image vector. A computer program stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium causes a computer to perform the imaging method.
