Patent number: 11978207Abstract: Oral care based imaging computer-implemented systems and methods for determining perceived attractiveness of a facial image portion of at least one person depicted in a digital image. The method has the following steps: a) obtaining a digital image comprising at least one oral feature of at least one person, wherein the digital image includes a facial image portion of the at least one person, the facial image portion having both positive and negative attributes as defined by pixel data of the digital image; b) analyzing the facial image portion; c) generating an Attractiveness Score indicative of a perceived attractiveness of the facial image portion based on the analyzed facial image portion in the obtained digital image; d) further generating an image description that identifies at least one area in said facial image portion based on the Attractiveness Score; and e) presenting the image description to a use.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Amirhossein Tavanei, Matthew Lloyd Barker, Faiz Feisal Sherman, Sherrie Lee Kinderdine, Scott Alan Hayes, David Anthony Hengehold, Yanyan He, Yumeng Ouyang, Jiahui Li, Nataliya Gurich, Ming Qi
