INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18281266 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that analyzes three-dimensional luminance data of the skin to extract patterns based on features acquired from different planes of the skin.

  • First acquisition means acquires feature amount from luminance data of the first plane of the skin.
  • Second acquisition means acquires feature amount from luminance data of the second plane, including the depth direction of the skin.
  • Calculation means calculates an extraction depth for pattern extraction based on the acquired feature amounts.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the fields of dermatology, cosmetics, and biometric identification.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in accurately extracting patterns from the skin, which can be useful for identifying skin conditions, analyzing skin texture, and improving the effectiveness of skincare products.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include precise pattern extraction, enhanced skin analysis capabilities, and potential for personalized skincare solutions.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology can be commercialized in the development of skincare devices, dermatological tools, and beauty products tailored to individual skin patterns.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in this field may include patents related to skin analysis, pattern recognition, and image processing techniques for dermatological applications.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the accuracy of skin pattern extraction?

This technology improves the accuracy of skin pattern extraction by analyzing multiple planes of the skin and calculating an extraction depth based on acquired features.

What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world applications?

The limitations of this technology may include processing speed, data storage requirements, and the need for calibration to different skin types and conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a first acquisition means for acquiring a first feature amount acquired from luminance data of a first plane facing a surface of a skin among three-dimensional luminance data of the skin, a second acquisition means for acquiring a second feature amount acquired from luminance data of a second plane including a depth direction of the skin among the three-dimensional luminance data, and a calculation means for calculating an extraction depth for extraction of a pattern of the skin based on the first feature amount and the second feature amount.
