Interactive display for facial skin monitoring

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for generating an interactive image of facial skin of a user that is displayed via a mobile endpoint device of the user, the operations comprising:

• displaying a guide to position a face of the user;
• capturing an image of the face of the user;
• transmitting the image to a facial skin analysis server for analyzing one or more parameters of the facial skin of the user, wherein the one or more parameters of the facial skin of the user comprises one or more graphical chromophore maps and a texture based upon a chromophore separation performed on the image of the face of the user;
• receiving the interactive image of the face of the user that includes metadata associated with the one or more parameters of the facial skin that were analyzed by the facial skin analysis server;
• displaying the interactive image of the face of the user;
• changing the guide from an outline of a face of a generic model to an outline that corresponds to a shape of the face of the user based on the image of the face of the user that was captured;
• and
• displaying the guide that is changed with the outline that corresponds to the shape of the face of the user to capture subsequent images of the face of the user.

A method for generating an interactive image of facial skin of a user that is displayed via a mobile endpoint device of the user, the method comprising:

• displaying, by a processor, an outline over an image capture preview to position a face of the user, wherein the outline has a shape that is similar to the face of the user based off a previously captured image of the face of the user;
• capturing, by the processor, an image of the face of the user;
• identifying, by the processor, a plurality of facial regions of the face of the user in the image;
• transmitting, by the processor, the image and the plurality of facial regions of the face of the user that is identified to a facial skin analysis server for analyzing one or more parameters of the facial skin of each one of the plurality of facial regions of the user, wherein the one or more parameters of the facial skin of the user comprises one or more graphical chromophore maps and a texture based upon a chromophore separation performed on the image of the face of the user;
• receiving, by the processor, the interactive image of the face of the user that includes metadata associated with each one of the plurality of facial regions of the user, wherein the metadata comprises the one or more parameters of the facial skin that were analyzed by the facial skin analysis server for a respective facial region of the plurality of facial regions;
• displaying, by the processor, the interactive image of the face of the user;
• receiving, by the processor, a selection of a facial region of the plurality of facial regions on the interactive image of the face;
• and
• generating, by the processor, a detailed visualization of the facial region that is selected that includes the one or more parameters of the facial skin associated with the facial region that is selected from the metadata.
