AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a system and method for applying cosmetics to a face using a robot with an applicator. The system includes an incoherent light projector, a camera, and a structured light depth processor to capture light reflected from the face and generate a depth image. The control device uses the depth image and the face profile to generate motion trajectory commands for the robot to apply the cosmetics to the face. The method also includes displaying guides on the face to show how to apply cosmetics by hand. The technical effects of the invention include improved precision and accuracy in applying cosmetics and increased efficiency in the process of applying makeup.

Problems solved by technology

Daily application by a professional is usually expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]The following description includes the best mode of carrying out the invention. The detailed description illustrates the principles of the invention and should not be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the invention is determined by reference to the claims. Each part (or step) is assigned its own part (or step) number throughout the specification and drawings. The method drawings illustrate a specific sequence of steps, but the steps can be performed in parallel and / or in different sequence to achieve the same result.

[0019]FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the system that employs 3D scanning to register the location of facial features. A user's head 10 is oriented so the face is in front of an incoherent light projector 14 that bathes the user's face in spatially varying light. Some of that light reflects from the user's face to a camera 12 and a camera 16 that provide information that tells in 3D the facial features. In operation, ambient light is reduced (e.g., blocke...

Abstract

Systems and methods for applying cosmetics are provided using an incoherent light projector shining light on the face, capturing the reflected light using a camera and the projector, communicating with the camera and the projector and a structured light depth processor to generate a depth image output. A control device communicates with the structure light depth sensor to receive the output, to receive the face profiles and generate motion trajectory commands, and a robot communicates with the control device to receive the commands to apply the cosmetics to the face in accordance with the face profiles. Methods for applying the cosmetics include receiving a face profile, receiving a depth sensor input representing a face, extracting face features, matching the face profile to the face features, and generating a guide or outputting robot trajectory to apply the cosmetics.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]The invention relates to systems and methods for three-dimensional (3D) scanning and robotic application of cosmetics to humans.[0002]Today, many women and men are using decorative and care cosmetics. Cosmetics can be liquid, cream, emulsions, pressed and loose powders, and dispersions. The FDA that regulates use of cosmetics in the United States says that cosmetics are substances applied to the human body “for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions.” Some examples of cosmetics include skin creams, lotions, powders, lipsticks, perfumes, fingernail and toe polish, eye and facial makeup, hair color or spray. For additional details, see Wikipedia Cosmetics (2015), which is incorporated by reference herein.[0003]Decorative cosmetics used to improve the user's appearance are often referred to as makeup or make-up. Typically, the wearer of the makeup will apply it to their facial feat...
