Section: Application Domains

Skin care

The second application domain of the AYIN team is skin care imaging which mainly consists in image analysis and classification for dermatology and cosmetology. Here we also deal with very high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution of the most recent imaging sensors. In dermatology we are particularly interested in hyperpigmentation detection and disorders severity evaluation (for instance, for melasma, acne, ...). In cosmetology our main goals are analysis, modeling and characterization of the condition of human skin, as well as evaluation of means to influence that condition. Some of the changes in skin over time have to do with chronological aging (such as pinheads for teenagers or wrinkles for mature people), others with extrinsic aging, caused for instance by sun exposure and smoking.
