Abstract
A system is provided for evaluating a curl of at least one eyelash sample that includes a plurality of fibers, comprising: a platform configured to receive a sample of the eyelash sample; an image capturing device configured to capture profile image of the eyelash ample; and a processing system configured to receive the profile image and evaluate at least one feature related to a curl of one or more of the fibers of at least one eyelash sample.
Claims13
A system for evaluating a curl of at least one eyelash sample that includes a plurality of fibers, comprising:
- a platform configured to receive a sample of the eyelash sample;
- an image capturing device configured to capture profile image of the eyelash sample;
- and
- a processing system configured to receive the profile image and evaluate at least one feature related to a curl of one or more of the fibers of at least one eyelash sample.
A method implemented by a system for evaluating a curl of at least one eyelash sample that includes a plurality of fibers, comprising:
- capturing, via an image capturing device, a profile image of the eyelash sample;
- and
- evaluating, via a processing system, at least one feature related to a curl or angle of one or more of the fibers of the at least one eyelash sample.
A method of evaluating a transferability at least one eyelash sample that includes a plurality of fibers, comprising:
- immersing the at least one eyelash sample in a predetermined solution, the at least one eyelash sample being exposed to mascara;
- contacting the at least one eyelash to a surface;
- capturing an image of the surface;
- and
- determining an amount of mascara that has transferred to the surface based on an darkness intensity detected in the captured image.
