SKIN TANNING MEASURING DEVICE
A Skin Tanning Measuring Device is provided to determine tanning level and skin penetration to various wavelengths, comprising of a device capable to inject light into the skin and monitor the light level emerging out from the skin tissue at a different location. By measuring the amount of emerging light, an individual tanning level could be deducted based on at least one additional measurement performed at an untanned location. The measurements will be used to compare between those levels and the saturated tanning levels, and will issue out a warning when the tanning is too high and additional exposure may be hazardous. Moreover, the offered system will measure skin penetration to UV hazardous radiation with and without sunscreen protection. The device will also provide information regarding melanin absorption as a function of UV exposure, and monitor those values over time and issue out a warning to users.
Techniques for identifying skin color in images having uncontrolled lighting conditions
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more machine learning models are trained to accurately estimate skin color in one or more images regardless of the lighting conditions. In some embodiments, the models can then be used to estimate a skin color in a new image, and that estimated skin color can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, the skin color may be used to generate a recommendation for a foundation shade that accurately matches the skin color, or a recommendation for another cosmetic product that is complimentary with the estimated skin color. Thus, the need for an in-person test of the product is eliminated.
