Abstract
Provided are an electronic device and method for providing information related to a skin type of an object. The electronic device includes: a camera configured to capture at least one image including a skin portion and a non-skin portion of an object; and a processor configured to determine at least one color ratio between the skin portion and the non-skin portion from the at least one image, and determine a skin type of the object based on the determined at least one color ratio.
Claims18
An electronic device for determining a skin type of an object, the electronic device comprising:
- a camera;
- a memory storing one or more instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:
- control the camera to capture at least one image comprising a skin portion and a non-skin portion of an object;
- determine a characteristic vector comprising at least one color ratio between the skin portion and the non-skin portion according to a plurality of pre-set color elements and a non-color characteristic;
- determine at least one skin attribute related to the object from the captured at least one image;
- and
- determine, by using the characteristic vector, a skin type representing a color ratio similar to the at least one color ratio in a skin type table corresponding to the determined at least one skin attribute as a skin type of the object.
A method of determining, by an electronic device, a skin type of an object, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least one captured image comprising a skin portion and a non-skin portion of an object;
- determining at least one skin attribute related to the object;
- determining a characteristic vector comprising at least one color ratio between the skin portion and the non-skin portion from the captured at least one image according to a plurality of pre-set color elements and a non-color characteristic;
- and
- determining, by using the characteristic vector, a skin type representing a color ratio similar to the at least one color ratio in a skin type table corresponding to the determined at least one skin attribute as a skin type of the object.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program which, when executed by a computer, performs a method comprising:
- obtaining at least one captured image comprising a skin portion and a non-skin portion of an object;
- determining at least one skin attribute related to the object;
- determining a characteristic vector comprising at least one color ratio between the skin portion and the non-skin portion from the captured at least one image according to a plurality of pre-set color elements and a non-color characteristic;
- and determining, by using the characteristic vector, a skin type representing a color ratio similar to the at least one color ratio in a skin type table corresponding to the determined at least one skin attribute as a skin type of the object.
