Abstract: An optical recognition system includes a 4×4 kernel image sensor, two line buffers, and an interpolation unit. The 4×4 kernel image sensor includes two red pixels, eight green pixels, two blue pixels, and four IR pixels arranged in Bayer pattern. The two line buffers are configured to store the brightness information of the pixels. The interpolation unit is configured to provide missing components in each pixel according to the brightness information stored in the two line buffers, thereby outputting an image data which includes full-color brightness information associated with each pixel.

Abstract: In a computing device for simulating the application of cosmetic effects, a user interface with a plurality of cosmetic templates is displayed to a user, where each cosmetic template comprises a predefined sequence for applying cosmetic effects. A selection of one of the cosmetic templates is obtained from the user, and a digital representation of the user is captured. The computing device tracks facial features of the user in the digital representation of the user and generates a virtual mirror for the user to view. The virtual mirror displays progressive application of each of the sequence of cosmetic effects of the selected cosmetic template to corresponding facial features in the digital representation. A digital representation of the simulated application of all of the sequence of cosmetic effects is then stored.
