  • Estimation method, estimation model generation method, program, and estimation device
    Patent number: 11534105
    Abstract: An estimation method for estimating a parameter related to skin function is provided. The estimation method includes an image acquisition step for acquiring a skin image in which unevenness of a skin surface is captured; an extraction step for extracting a feature vector based on topological information on the skin image from the skin image acquired in the image acquisition step; an estimation step for estimating the parameter related to skin function based on the feature vector extracted in the extraction step, using an estimation model constructed based on past actual measurement data in which feature vectors are associated with the parameter related to skin function; and a presentation step for presenting the parameter related to skin function estimated in the estimation step.
