Systems and methods for hair analysis
Disclosed are hair analysis systems and methods comprising: (a) capturing an image of a user at as captured by a camera and sending the image to a hair analysis processor; (b) analyzing the user's hair condition at the hair analysis processor, based on the image from the camera by using a model that is trained using a plurality of images of users that each feature one or more micro features of a respective user's hair, and providing an analysis result to a display; and (c) displaying at the display the analysis result to the user. The present invention provides the system and the method with an improved sensitivity.
1. A hair analysis system comprising:
(a) a camera to capture an image of a user and to send the image to a hair analysis processor;
(b) the hair analysis processor: to analyze the user's hair condition based on the image by using a model that is trained using a plurality of images of users that each feature one or more of the following features of a respective user's hair: frizz, cleanliness, moisture, curliness, length, damage, or shine; and to provide an analysis result to a display wherein the analysis result is at least one of the following:
the analyzed hair condition;
a hair prediction based on the analyzed hair condition;
a hair product recommendation based on the analyzed hair condition;
a hair product usage recommendation based on the analyzed hair condition; or
a hair style recommendation based on the analyzed hair condition; and
(c) the display to display the analysis result to the user.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the model comprises at least one of: a deep neural network or a Convolutional Neural Network.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the deep neural network is a Deep Capsule Network.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display further shows an option for the user to purchase a product.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hair condition to be analyzed is at least one of the following: Frizz; Volume; Freshness or Cleanliness; Moisture; Curliness; Length; Manageability; Damage; Shine; Hair age; or Hair health.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises a question and answer (Q&A) user interface unit to provide a question for the user at the Q&A user interface; to receive an answer from the user; and to send the answer to the hair analysis processor.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the answer is utilized to provide the analysis result.
8. A hair analysis method comprising:
(a) capturing an image of a user as captured by a camera and sending the image to a hair analysis processor;
(b) analyzing the user's hair condition at the hair analysis processor, based on the image from the camera by using a model that is trained using a plurality of images of users that each feature one or more of the following features of a respective user's hair: frizz, cleanliness, moisture, curliness, length, damage, or shine; and to provide an analysis result to a display wherein the analysis result is at least one of the following:
the analyzed hair condition;
a hair prediction based on the analyzed hair condition;
a hair product recommendation based on the analyzed hair condition;
a hair product usage recommendation based on the analyzed hair condition; or
a hair style recommendation based on the analyzed hair condition; and
(c) displaying at the display the analysis result to the user.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the model comprises at least one of: a deep neural network or a Convolutional Neural Network.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the deep neural network is a Deep Capsule Network.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the display further shows an option for the user to purchase a product.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the hair condition to be analyzed is at least one of the followings: Frizz; Volume; Freshness or Cleanliness; Moisture; Curliness; Length; Manageability; Damage; Shine; Hair age; or Hair health.
13. The method of claim 8 further comprising displaying a question and answer user interface to provide a question for the user; and receiving an answer from the user; and sending the answer to the hair analysis processor.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the answer is utilized for providing the analysis result.
