Introduction to Skin Analysis Algorithm Capabilities
The AI Skin Analysis algorithm encompasses seven major categories: dryness/oiliness,
roughness, pigmentation, acne, sensitivity, aging, and eye-related issues, with detection
capabilities covering up to 26 skin attributes and concerns.
Dryness/Oiliness Analysis:
Skin Type Classification:
Applicable Versions: Basic, Advanced, Professional
Using deep learning algorithms, the system analyzes facial images to classify skin types
based on dryness or oiliness. The API outputs the classification category and its confidence
score.
Case:
Oily Area Extraction:
Applicable Version: Professional
By extracting the oil reflection characteristics from facial images taken under flash lighting,
the system can analyze the oiliness of the T-zone and cheeks. It provides a numerical
measurement of the oily areas.
Case:
Roughness Analysis
Blackhead Severity and Enlarged Pores Detection
Applicable Versions: Basic, Advanced
Blackhead and Pore Mapping Analysis
Applicable Version: Professional
Through texture recognition processing of facial photos, the system extracts and highlights
enlarged pores on the cheeks and T-zone, as well as prominent blackheads on the nose. The
API can output a pore and blackhead detection map (texture_enhanced_pores), and provide
the number of enlarged pores, the number of blackheads, and the ratio of enlarged pores in
the T-zone, cheeks, and chin.
Pigmentation Analysis
Skin Tone Detection - East Asian Five-Class Skin Tone
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
Based on common skin tones among East Asians, the system classifies skin tones into five
categories:Translucent Fair,Light, Natural, Tan, and Dark (Bronzed). This classification covers
a wide range of skin tones for both East Asian men and women and can be used in scenarios
such as foundation shade selection and makeup tone matching.
Skin Tone Detection - ITA Skin Tone Classification
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
Based on the Fitzpatrick skin type classification defined by the FDA, this is an internationally
recognized standard for skin tone. It uses the measurement of color attributes in the Lab
color space to classify skin tones. The higher the ITA value, the higher the concentration of
pigment distribution in the skin, making it less prone to sunburn but more likely to develop
localized pigmentation after sun exposure. The lower the ITA value, the lower the
concentration of pigment, making the skin more prone to sunburn but less likely to develop
localized pigmentation (such as dark spots).
Through calibration under conditions using a mobile phone's rear flashlight, the API
outputs the ITA angle value along with the corresponding skin tone classification.
This method is highly dependent on ambient lighting. We recommend using
high-definition facial photos taken with flash lighting for accurate processing.
Measurements taken under natural or low-light conditions may result in inaccurate or
abnormal ITA values.
Skin Tone Detection - HA Skin Tone Hue Classification
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
Similar to ITA, the HA classification outputs an angle value that indicates whether the skin
tone leans more towards red or yellow. A higher HA value indicates a more yellowish skin
tone with deeper blood vessel distribution, which makes the skin more prone to
pigmentation from glycation and oxidation. A lower HA value indicates a reddish skin tone
with more superficial blood vessel distribution and thinner keratin layers, making the skin
more prone to sensitivity and redness.
Spot and Mole Detection
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
The system detects areas of facial spots and moles, outputting rectangular bounding box
coordinates for the detected spots and moles. In the Professional version, the system
additionally provides more precise polygonal boundaries for spots and moles.
Case:
(Brown circles represent spots, green circles represent moles):
Pigmentation Mapping
Applicable Version: Professional
Using the principles of dermatological imaging instruments, the system extracts brown
spots and pigmentation maps by analyzing RGB image features. This can be used in
conjunction with spot detection to mark the extent of facial pigmentation. The API outputs
the following:
Pigmentation Detection Map (brown_area): Extracts brown spots and pigmentation
maps based on the principles of dermatological imaging instruments using RGB image
feature extraction. This map identifies the degree of facial pigmentation.。
Pigmentation Index Detection: Based on the concentration of brown pigmentation and
the area of pigmentation on the face, the system analyzes the user's current facial
pigmentation status.
Case:
Acne Analysis
Acne and Closed Comedones Detection
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
Based on a clinical dataset of 700 cases and a professionally annotated dataset of 100,000
real-life selfies, the system is further enhanced with a data augmentation set of 500,000
images. Acne features are extracted and semantically segmented through deep learning
across different color spaces. This enables accurate detection of acne locations and sizes,
with the API outputting the coordinates of acne and closed comedones within rectangular
bounding boxes.
Sensitivity Analysis
Sensitive Area Mapping and Detection
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
Based on the analysis of 700 clinical sensitive skin samples and 5,000 consumer-sensitive
skin samples, combined with research on leading VISIA skin detection equipment, the
system calculates using the LAB color space. Through deep learning and image
enhancement methods, it accurately highlights the reddened areas of the skin, where the
intensity of redness represents the degree of skin sensitivity.
The API outputs the following:
Sensitive Red Area Map (red_area): Using images captured with flash, it extracts the
inflamed, reddened areas of the face, marking them with varying shades of red to
indicate sensitivity levels. This map reflects the current inflammatory state of the skin.
Sensitivity Analysis: Based on the redness intensity and the area of the sensitive regions,
it analyzes the user's current facial sensitivity condition.
Aging Analysis
Perceived Age (Skin Age) Detection
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
Based on a dataset of 200,000 selfies from Asian men and women, combined with skin age
evaluations from medical beauty consultants and beauty advisors (BAs), the system
aggregates weighted assessments to label skin age. A deep learning model is used to
predict the perceived age of the skin. The API ultimately outputs an age value, indicating
"how old this face appears to be in the eyes of the average person."
Localized Wrinkle Analysis
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
Using the same dataset of 200,000 selfies from Asian men and women, along with
evaluations from medical beauty consultants and beauty advisors (BAs) for skin age, the
system predicts skin age through a deep learning model.
The API can output detection results for several key localized wrinkles, including:
Nasolabial Folds Severity: (Mild, Moderate, Severe)
Forehead Wrinkles: (Present or Absent)
Eye Fine Lines: (Present or Absent)
Crow's Feet: (Present or Absent)
Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines): (Present or Absent)
Case:
Fine Line Detection
Applicable Version: Professional
This feature detects fine lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
The system highlights and maps these fine lines, providing a visual representation of the
detected lines. The API also outputs a fine line map and statistical data on the number of
lines present on the forehead and under the eyes.
Case:
Eye Area Issues
Dark Circle Classification
Applicable Versions: Professional, Advanced
The system detects and classifies dark circles under the eyes based on their color and shape.
It analyzes the type of dark circles present, providing insight into their severity and
underlying causes.
Case:
Eye Bag Classification
Applicable Versions: Advanced, Professional
The system detects the severity of eye bags and provides classification results (e.g., mild,
moderate, severe) along with confidence scores for each classification.
Case:
