Abstract: A computing device obtains an image depicting an image of a user's face. The computing device identifies one or more regions in the image depicting skin of the user and generates a skin mask. A skin tone of the user's face is predicted and the skin mask is populated according to the predicted skin tone. The computing device defines feature points corresponding to facial features on the user's face and extracts pre-defined facial patterns matching facial features depicted in the image. The extracted pre-defined facial patterns are inserted into the skin mask based on the feature points and a hair mask identifying one or more regions depicting hair of the user is generated. The computing device extracts a hair region depicted in the image of the user based on the hair mask and inserts the hair region on top of the skin mask to generate a face chart.

Abstract: A computing device obtains an image depicting an image of a user's face. The computing device identifies facial features in the user's face in the image and extracts characteristics of the facial features in the user's face in the image. The computing device predicts a skin tone of the user's face depicted in the image and generates a face chart based on the facial feature characteristics. The computing device adjusts a color of a facial region in the face chart according to the predicted skin tone and obtains lighting characteristics of the image of the user's face. The computing device adjusts one or more colors in the face chart based on the lighting characteristics of the image of the user's face.
