Skin Condition Analysis Display Using Color Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies can evaluate skin texture conditions but fail to provide an intuitive and visual representation of skin conditions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that acquires skin condition analysis results from epidermis images and displays them in a predetermined form on a display unit, using different colors, shades, and symbols to represent various skin features like cristae cutis, sulci cutis, and pore distributions, with the option to indicate optimal imaging positions and record time-series skin data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If skin texture conditions are evaluated using conventional analysis methods, then skin condition assessment is achieved, but the results are not intuitive or visually recognizable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by mapping skin condition analysis results to color-coded visual representations. Different skin conditions (e.g., dryness, oiliness, elasticity) are represented by different colors or color intensities, making the assessment results intuitively recognizable at a glance while maintaining measurement precision through systematic color mapping to quantitative data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms one-dimensional numerical skin condition data into two-dimensional visual images by projecting analysis results onto skin surface maps. This dimensional transformation allows users to spatially locate and visually compare skin conditions across different facial regions, enhancing intuitive understanding without losing assessment accuracy
2Loss of information
If detailed skin condition data is analyzed, then comprehensive skin assessment is achieved, but the results become difficult to understand visually
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments comprehensive skin condition data into distinct visual layers or channels, where each layer represents a specific skin parameter (e.g., moisture content, oil secretion, pore size). Users can selectively view individual layers or combine them, allowing comprehensive information to be presented in manageable, interpretable visual segments without losing data completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a multi-functional visual display system that can present different types of skin condition information using a unified visual framework. The same visual representation structure handles multiple skin parameters simultaneously, reducing interpretation complexity while maintaining comprehensive data presentation through standardized visual encoding

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program through which it is possible to intuitively and visually recognize skin conditions.An analysis result acquisition unit acquires a skin condition analysis result based on an epidermis image obtained by capturing skin epidermis. A display control unit displays an analysis result image of a predetermined display form based on a skin condition analysis result on a display unit. Therefore, it is possible to intuitively and visually recognize skin conditions. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an electronic device configured to display a skin analysis result.
