  • Patent number: 12697061
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for characterizing eyelashes or eyebrows which is implemented by computer and comprises the following steps, which are directed toward:—receiving data corresponding to a set of pixels in a close-up image of a body area comprising a plurality of eyelashes, preferably the entirety of a row of eyelashes or of an eyebrow, to be characterized:—applying at least one step of computer vision so as to obtain, on the basis of the image data received, a numerical evaluation of at least one characteristic numerical parameter from among, notably, the number of fibers, an average length of the fibers, an average thickness of the fibers, and a curvature of the fibers.

  • Patent number: 12663373
    Abstract: This device for inspecting a human body portion (12) comprises: a frame (14), defining an observation window (26); an optical sensor, configured to capture a measurement luminous radiation (C) from the human body portion (12), and an illumination arrangement, configured to illuminate the human body portion (12), the illumination arrangement comprising at least one light source (30), each light source (30) being configured to produce an emitted luminous radiation (A). The illumination arrangement comprises at least one concave mirror (32) configured to reflect the emitted luminous radiation (A) produced by at least one of the light sources (30) in a reflected luminous radiation (B), the reflected luminous radiation (B) being collimated toward the observation window (26) so as to illuminate the human body portion (12).

  • Publication number: 20250384712
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining parameters relating to the coloration of a body zone of an individual, the method comprising the steps of: selecting a sample (10) for an individual amongst a set of samples (10), each sample (10) of the set being a sample representative of a body zone and having a reference colour distinct from the other samples (10), acquiring, by a sensor, an image, so-called initial image, imaging both the selected sample (10) and a corresponding body zone of the individual, processing the initial image, by a calculator, so as to obtain parameters relating to the coloration of the body zone of the individual.

  • Patent number: 12437577
    Abstract: In some embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more machine learning models are trained to accurately estimate skin color in one or more images regardless of the lighting conditions. In some embodiments, the models can then be used to estimate a skin color in a new image, and that estimated skin color can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, the skin color may be used to generate a recommendation for a foundation shade that accurately matches the skin color, or a recommendation for another cosmetic product that is complimentary with the estimated skin color. Thus, the need for an in-person test of the product is eliminated.

  • Patent number: 10515091
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for monitoring processes running on a platform as a service architecture. One example method includes extracting one or more electronic job postings from a plurality of job posting websites. For each extracted electronic job posting, data associated with the extracted electronic job posting is automatically normalized into a normalized electronic job posting in a structured format. Each normalized electronic job posting is automatically enriched to create an enriched electronic job posting based on data sources external to the job posting websites. Each enriched electronic job posting is stored in a job posting repository.
