Systems and methods for selective enhancement of skin features in images
Exemplary embodiments are directed to a system for selective enhancement of skin features in an image. The system includes an interface configured to receive as input an original image, and a processing device in communication with the interface. The processing device is configured to process the original image using a neural network to detect one or more skin imperfections in the original image, generate a neural network mask of the original image for the one or more skin imperfections in the original image, generate one or more source patches based on the original image, and, replace the one or more skin imperfections in the original image with the one or more source patches to generate a patched skin image.
1. A system for selective enhancement of skin features in an image, the system comprising:
an interface configured to receive as input an original image; and
a processing device in communication with the interface, the processing device configured to:
(i) process the original image using a neural network to detect one or more skin imperfections in the original image;
(ii) generate a neural network mask of the original image for the one or more skin imperfections in the original image;
(iii) generate one or more source patches based on the original image; and
(iv) replace the one or more skin imperfections in the original image with the one or more source patches to generate a patched skin image;
wherein the processing device is further configured to:
generate a masked skin image including a skin mask; and
generate a blurred image, the blurred image including blurring of the skin encompassed by the skin mask without affecting facial feature details.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the original image includes at least one individual with the one or more skin imperfections on a face of the individual.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device generates a bounding box around detected skin features in the original image for enhancement, the skin features including the one or more skin imperfections.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the processing device generates a separate bounding box for each individual depicted in the original image.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the neural network mask is a skin imperfections mask, the skin imperfections mask including an island disposed over and associated with each of the one or more skin imperfections.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device generates a defect area independently surrounding each of the one or more skin imperfections.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processing device selects one of the one or more source patches for replacement of one of the one or more skin imperfections based on at least a partial overlap between the defect area and the source patch.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the skin mask encompasses skin within the patched skin image and excludes facial feature details from the skin mask.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the facial feature details include at least one of eyebrows, hair, nose, or lips.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device generates a detail image, the detail image including facial feature details excluded from the skin mask.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processing device generates two or more filtered images.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the two or more filtered images include the facial feature details at different kernel sizes, wherein the different kernel sizes are small kernels, medium kernels, and big kernels.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processing device generates a combined image, the combined image including the facial feature details of the small kernels and including only some of the facial feature details of the medium and big kernels.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the processing device generates a dark circle mask for shadowed features under eyes of the individual.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the processing device generates a noise image, the noise image including a noise effect applied to skin of an individual with the one or more skin imperfections.
16. A system for selective enhancement of skin features in an image, the system comprising:
an interface configured to receive as input an original image; and
a processing device in communication with the interface, the processing device configured to:
(i) process the original image using a neural network to detect one or more skin imperfections in the original image;
(ii) generate a neural network mask of the original image for the one or more skin imperfections in the original image;
(iii) generate one or more source patches based on the original image; and
(iv) replace the one or more skin imperfections in the original image with the one or more source patches to generate a patched skin image;
wherein:
the interface includes an image selection section with the patched skin image and one or more additional original images; and
the interface includes a first submenu for selecting the patched skin image and copying one or more enhancements applied to the patched skin image, and the interface includes a second submenu for selecting one or more of the additional original images and applying the copied one or more enhancements of the patched skin image to the selected one or more of the additional original images.
