Field of the Invention The present invention makes it possible to make up the displayed face by simulating lipstick, powder and eyebrow cuts on the face image displayed on a full-color image display device. The present invention relates to a face makeup support device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, at a beauty salon, it is often the beautician's sense that the customer does his or her own makeup.
Customers are usually convinced that they have questions about the makeup applied to them.Also, at the store of a cosmetics store, when a customer chooses a cosmetic product that suits him / herself, he paints on the back of his hand and selects this color. Moreover, even at a beauty school, a model was generally used, and makeup was applied to the model to teach how to apply makeup.

There has been a makeup support device in the past, but with regard to lipstick, only the lipstick color is added to the pixels of the lips. With regard to the eyebrow cut, there is no automatic cut, and it is filled with the skin color. Was there.

[0004]

Therefore, there is no way to guarantee in advance what kind of makeup is applied at a beauty salon, and when a customer chooses a cosmetic product that suits him or her at the cosmetic store. It was impossible to apply various kinds of cosmetics to the face because it was difficult to remove the cosmetics each time and the end face that could not completely remove the previous makeup.

At a beauty school, a model is generally used and makeup is applied to the model to teach how to apply makeup. However, the model is costly and the makeup is removed every time the model is applied. There was a problem of this.

Further, in the conventional device, since each color conversion is a primitive, there is a problem that it is not realistic. Especially for lipstick, it is not possible to change the gloss and the shape to be applied, and the eyebrows can be easily cut. Therefore, there is a demand for a device that can simulate realistic makeup only on the screen without directly applying makeup to the face.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided a switching device, an image signal input / output device, and an in-image area designation device for a control device provided with a region determining means, a lipstick color converting means, a powder color converting means and an eyebrow determining means. And an image memory is connected to the image signal input / output device, and an image capturing device and a full-color image display device are connected to the image memory,
The image signal input / output device is connected to the intra-image area designating device, and the face signal designated among the face signals stored in the image memory is designated by the image signal input / output device and displayed on the full-color image display device. However, the predetermined area in the face is designated by the intra-image area designation device, and the color in the area is changed by the image signal input device.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the face signal stored in the image memory or the face signal captured in the image memory from the image capturing device is displayed on the full-color image display device, and a specific area of the displayed face image, for example, When the lip contour is specified by the image area specifying device, the lipstick color and gloss are specified, the control device calculates the pixel color after applying the lipstick,
Input to the image memory by the image signal input device.

Further, two kinds of color conversion methods are prepared, and by providing an ambiguous attribute to the attribute of the pixel (skin or eyebrow), the lipstick has a realistic feeling even if it extends from the area where the lipstick is applied. Can be simulated.

Further, by enclosing the portion of the eyebrows to be cut by the intra-image area designating device, the eyebrows can be automatically cut and the automatically predicted skin can be embedded therein.

e, the strength of painting 11f, and the palette display portion 11c are designated items.

A face image 12 is displayed on the screen 11d. The face image 12 is a lip image 13, a nose image 14,
It is composed of an eye image 15, an eyebrow image 16, and a hair image 17.

Also, in the face image 12, the lip image 13 is 130a, 131a, 132a, ... 1 designated by the intra-image region designation device 8 in advance, as shown in FIG.
It is a region surrounded by a contour line A in which 10 feature points of 39a are connected by linear interpolation.

The area where the lipstick is applied is the contour line B obtained by moving the positions of the 10 control points set in advance to the same positions as the characteristic points of the lip and storing them.
It is within.

When the control points are moved outward from the feature points, the lipstick application area is widened (the mouth looks large), and when the control points are moved inward, the lipstick application area is narrowed (the mouth looks small). ).

The contour line A for applying the lipstick is formed by interpolating the control points. When the contour line A is used, a soft feel is given to the lips, and when a straight line is connected, a firm feel is given.

Control points 130b and 131 shown in FIG.
b, 131b, ..., 139b are positioned so that the mouth looks large.

Further, when changing the color of the image in the area where the lipstick is applied, which is determined by the contour line B, whether it is skin for each pixel,
It is judged whether it is a lip and the following two color conversion methods are used.

Color conversion: a method of converting a skin color to a lipstick color A color conversion: a method of converting a lip color to a lipstick color, which is a glossy lipstick and a gloss by specifying the glossiness of the lipstick. You can express the lipstick without.

(1) Is not inside the contour line A but inside the lips,
If there is no skin near the contour line, the operation amount of color conversion is large,
Reduce the amount of color conversion operations.

(2) Not near the contour line A but outside the lips,
If it is skin-like near the contour line, the operation amount of color conversion is reduced and the operation amount of color conversion is increased.

(3) If there is neither skin nor lips in the vicinity of the contour line A, the operation amount of color conversion is increased a little, and the operation amount of color conversion is increased a little.
