Abstract

A system for computerized simulation of a make-up process is provided herein. The system includes: one or more capturing device configured to capture images of a face of a human user in controlled lighting conditions; a face reconstruction module configured to generate a 3D model of the face, based on the captured images; a display configured to present the reconstructed 3D model to the human user; a touch/3D user interface configured to receive a sequence of hand gestures and postures forming a virtual make-up session which imitates a real a make- up process; a virtual make-up simulator configured to apply virtual make-up features to the 3D model, to yield a 3D make-up model, based on said received hand gestures and postures, wherein said virtual make-up simulator repeatedly presents updated appearance of the 3D make-up model, over the display, responsive to changes made over said virtual make-up session.

First claim

1 . A system comprising:
at least one capturing device configured to capture images of a face of a human user; a face reconstruction module configured to generate a 3D model of the face, based on the captured images; a display configured to present the reconstructed 3D model to the human user; a touch/3D user interface configured to receive a sequence of hand gestures and postures, touch and stylus forming a virtual make-up session which imitates a real make-up process; a virtual make-up simulator configured to apply virtual make-up features to the 3D model, to yield a 3D make-up model, based on said received hand gestures and postures, wherein said virtual make-up simulator repeatedly presents updated appearance of the 3D make-up model, over the display, responsive to changes made over said virtual make-up session.

2 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a display user interface configured to receive display requirements from the user relating to at least one of: lighting conditions and face orientation, and wherein the virtual make-up simulator is configured to reflect the display requirements in the updated 3D make-up model presented over the display.

3 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the touch/3D user interface is implemented by the display.

4 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the touch/3D user interface enables the human user to select a type of make-up using a graphical user interface presented over the display.

5 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising a stylus detectable by the touch/3D user interface as a make-up applicator.

6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the touch/3D user interface is configured to detect specified hand postures or gestures as a corresponding make-up applicator selected by the user over a graphical user interface presented over the display.

7 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the generated 3D model preserves original color and flesh tones of the face of the human user; comprises micro-texture data and resembles the face of the human user.

8 . A method comprising:
capturing images of a face of a human user in controlled lighting conditions; generating a 3D model of the face, based on the captured images; presenting the reconstructed 3D model to the human user; receiving a sequence of hand gestures and postures forming a virtual make-up session which imitates a real a make-up process; applying virtual make-up features to the 3D model, to yield a 3D make-up model, based on said received hand gestures and postures; and repeatedly presenting updated appearance of the 3D make-up model, responsive to changes made over said virtual make-up session.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising receiving display requirements from the user relating to at least one of: lighting conditions and face orientation, and reflecting the display requirements in the updated 3D make-up model presented to the human user.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the receiving and the presenting are carried out at the same location.

11 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising enabling the human user to select a type of make-up using a graphical user interface presented over the display.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising providing a stylus detectable as a make-up applicator.

13 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising detecting specified hand postures or gestures as a corresponding make-up applicator selected by the user over a graphical user interface presented to the human user.

14 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the generated 3D model preserves original color and flesh tones of the face of the human user; comprises micro-texture data and resembles the face of the human user at 1 mm tolerance.

15 . A tangible computer program product comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program embodied therewith, the computer readable program comprising: computer readable program configured to capture images of a face of a human user in controlled lighting conditions; computer readable program configured to generate a 3D model of the face, based on the captured images; computer readable program configured to present the reconstructed 3D model to the human user; computer readable program configured to receive a sequence of hand gestures and postures forming a virtual make-up session which imitates a real a make-up process; computer readable program configured to apply virtual make-up features to the 3D model, to yield a 3D make-up model, based on said received hand gestures and postures; and computer readable program configured to repeatedly present updated appearance of the 3D make-up model, responsive to changes made over said virtual make-up session.

16 . The tangible computer program product according to claim 15 , further comprising computer readable program configured to receive display requirements from the user relating to at least one of: lighting conditions and face orientation, and wherein a corresponding computer readable program is configured to reflect the display requirements in the updated 3D make-up model presented over the display.

17 . The tangible computer program product according to claim 15 , further comprising computer readable program configured to enable the human user to select a type of make-up using a graphical user interface presented over the display.

18 . The tangible computer program product according to claim 15 , further comprising computer readable program configured to detect a stylus as a make-up applicator.

19 . The tangible computer program product according to claim 15 , further comprising computer readable program configured to detect specified hand postures or gestures as a corresponding make-up applicator selected by the user over a graphical user interface.

20 . The tangible computer program product according to claim 15 , wherein the generated 3D model preserves original color and flesh tones of the face of the human user; comprises micro-texture data and resembles the face of the human user at 1 mm tolerance.
