Abstract: A cradle can be used to capture video of an object, such as hair. That video can then be used to extract and visualize color information relating to that material using a colorcloud. The colorcloud contains all the colors that were present in one or more frames of the video. The cradle comprises a video recording device that is able to see the material through a window on the cradle. A smartphone can be used with the cradle to act as the video recording device, as well as provide lighting.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of presenting an achievable eyebrow is provided. A computing system receives an indication of an eyebrow mimetic for a subject. The computing system positions the eyebrow mimetic on an image of a face of the subject. The computing system determines an achievable eyebrow by determining one or more modifications to a bare eyebrow of the subject within maximum modification parameters to make the bare eyebrow more like the eyebrow mimetic. The computing system generates a presentation of the achievable eyebrow.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for obtaining optical properties of skin on a human face through face video analysis. Video of the face is captured, landmarks on the face and tracked, regions-of-interest are defined and tracked using the landmarks, some measurements/optical properties are obtained, the time-based video is transformed into an angular domain, and additional measurements/optical properties are obtained. Such optical properties can be measured using video in real-time or video that has been pre-recorded.

Abstract: A computer system creates time lapse video of a live subject to help assess effects of skin treatments, use of cosmetics, or personal care routines over time. In one aspect, the computer system obtains a set of digital source images (e.g., from video or a series of still images) of a region of interest of a live subject (e.g., the face of the live subject or a portion thereof) captured in a first time period; normalizes the set of digital source images; obtains a first representative image that includes the region of interest by synthesizing or selecting it from the set of digital source images; and combines the first representative image with additional representative images from other time periods to form a time lapse video of the region of interest of the live subject.

Abstract: A system including processing circuitry configured to receive a captured image of a user; generate a three-dimensional (3D) image of the user based on the captured image of the user; control display of an interface for receiving a selection or adjustment of a feature on the 3D image from the user; and perform adjustment of the feature on the 3D image based on the received selection or adjustment of the feature of the user to generate an updated 3D image.
