Makeup Simulation System Using Evaluator-Specific Reference Scores
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies for makeup selection, such as Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-149696, fail to provide users with a simulation of makeup that suits their facial features and do not reflect individual aesthetic preferences.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that receives an image of a target person and an evaluator ID, generates decorated images, stores reference images with associated evaluator scores, calculates target image scores based on the received evaluator ID, and presents decorated images that meet predetermined conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If reference makeup images are used for evaluation, then objective evaluation of user makeup is achieved, but the user cannot know the makeup that suits their face
Solution Approach 1:
The system calculates target image scores by comparing generated makeup images against reference images that have pre-stored evaluation scores from evaluators. This feedback mechanism provides users with both objective evaluation of their current makeup and guidance on suitable makeup styles by presenting images with high target image scores.
Solution Approach 2:
The system generates target decoration images by applying makeup patterns to the user's face image, creating simulated versions that can be evaluated without requiring physical makeup application. This allows users to try multiple makeup styles virtually and receive evaluation feedback.
2Device complexity
If generic evaluation methods are used, then evaluation process is simple, but individual aesthetic preferences are not reflected
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores reference decoration images along with their evaluation scores from evaluators before actual use. When evaluating user makeup, the system retrieves and compares against these pre-prepared references, enabling personalized evaluation without complex real-time analysis while accommodating individual aesthetic preferences.
3Ease of operation
If multiple decoration options are tried physically, then appropriate decoration can be selected, but huge amount of time and effort is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces physical makeup application and removal with digital image processing. Makeup styles are applied virtually to the user's face image through computer algorithms, allowing rapid comparison of multiple decoration options without the time-consuming process of physical application and removal.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus receives an image of target person to be decorated and at least one evaluator ID that identifies an evaluator different from the target person, generates a plurality of target decoration images in which the image is decorated, stores a plurality of reference decoration images in which images of a plurality of persons are decorated, a reference image score regarding evaluation by an evaluator for each reference decorative image, and evaluator ID of an evaluator evaluating the reference decorative image associated with each other, calculates target image score for evaluation for each target decorative image based on the reference image score associated with the received evaluator ID among the plurality of reference image scores, and presents at least one target decorative image whose target image score satisfies a predetermined condition among the plurality of target decoration images.
