Systems and methods for selective enhancement of skin features in images

A method for selective enhancement of skin features in an image, the method comprising:

• receiving as input at an interface an original image;
• processing the original image using a neural network to detect one or more skin imperfections in the original image;
• generating a neural network mask of the original image for the one or more skin imperfections in the original image;
• generating one or more source patches based on the original image;
• replacing the one or more skin imperfections in the original image with the one or more source patches to generate a patched skin image;
• generating a masked skin image including a skin mask;
• and
• generating a blurred image, the blurred image including blurring of the skin encompassed by the skin mask without affecting facial feature details.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions at least for selective enhancement of skin features in an image that are executable by a processing device, wherein execution of the instructions by the processing device causes the processing device to:

• receive as input at an interface an original image;
• process the original image using a neural network to detect one or more skin imperfections in the original image;
• generate a neural network mask of the original image for the one or more skin imperfections in the original image;
• generate one or more source patches based on the original image;
• replace the one or more skin imperfections in the original image with the one or more source patches to generate a patched skin image;
• generate a masked skin image including a skin mask;
• and
• generate a blurred image, the blurred image including blurring of the skin encompassed by the skin mask without affecting facial feature details.
