Skin care

The most recent sensors used in dermatology and cosmetology produce images with very high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. As with remote sensing, numerous applications then arise that can make use of the new information. In the application to dermatology, we are particularly interested in hyperpigmentation detection and the evaluation of the severity of various disorders (for instance, for melasma, vitiligo, acne, melanoma, etc.). In the application to cosmetology, our main goals are the analysis, modeling, and characterization of the condition of human skin, especially as applied to the evaluation of methods designed to influence that condition.
