Abstract
A method for identifying a pore color of at least one skin pore. The method includes obtaining at least one image of a subject, extracting a pore image from the obtained image, in which the extracted pore image identifies a boundary of the at least one skin pore, and superimposing the obtained image and the extracted pore image to identify the pore color within the identified boundary of the at least one skin pore.
Claims18
A method for identifying a skin feature color contrast and/or a skin feature intensity contrast value, comprising:
- a. obtaining at least one image of a subject;
- b. extracting a skin feature image from the obtained image, wherein the extracted skin feature image identifies a boundary of the at least one skin feature;
- and
- c. superimposing the obtained image and the extracted skin feature image to identify a skin feature color and/or intensity within the identified boundary of the at least one skin feature;
- d. defining an adjacency area radially from the identified boundary of the at least one skin feature;
- e. superimposing the obtained image and the defined adjacency area to identify an adjacency area color and/or intensity of the adjacency area;
- and
- f. comparing the identified skin feature to the identified adjacency area color and/or the intensity of the adjacency area to determine a skin feature color contrast value and/or skin feature intensity contrast value.
