System and method for applying a reflectance modifying agent to change a person's appearance based on a digital image
First Claim
1. A system to change an appearance of a region of skin of a person, the system comprising:
- at least one image generating element configured to scan the region of the skin to generate digital images of the region of the skin;
at least one reflectance modifying agent application element, the reflectance modifying agent application element being operable to apply one or more reflectance modifying agents to frexels of the region of the skin of the person; and
a computing device that is coupled to the at least one image generating element and to the at least one reflectance modifying agent application element, the computing device being operable to perform operations comprising;
obtaining a desired image associated with the region of the skin depicting one or more model features of the region of the skin of the person,instructing the at least one image generating element to scan the region of the skin to generate a first image depicting current features of the region of the skin,retrieving from the at least one image generating element the first image,comparing the desired image to the first image to determine a difference between a plurality of frexels within the first image and the desired image, andinstructing the at least one reflectance modifying agent application element, to apply the reflectance modifying agents to at least one of the plurality of frexels based on the difference, to emulate the one or more model features of the desired image within the region of the skin of the person.

Abstract
A computer-controlled system determines attributes of a frexel, which is an area of human skin, and applies a reflectance modifying agent (RMA) at the pixel level to automatically change the appearance of human features based on one or more digital images. The change may be based on a digital image of the same frexel, for as seen in a prior digital photograph captured previously by the computer-controlled system. The system scans the frexel and uses feature recognition software to compare the person'"'"'s current features in the frexel with that person'"'"'s features in the digital image. It then calculates enhancements to the make the current features appear more like the features in the digital image, and it applies the RMA to the frexel to accomplish the enhancements. Or the change may be based on a digital image of another person, through the application of RMAs.

11. A computer-implemented method to change an appearance of a region of skin of a person, the method being executed using one or more processors and comprising:
-
obtaining, by the one or more processors, a desired image associated with the region of the skin of depicting one or more model features of the region of the skin of the person; instructing, by the one or more processors, at least one image generating element to scan the region of the skin to generate a first image depicting current features of the region of the skin; retrieving, by the one or more processors, from the at least one image generating element the first image; comparing, by the one or more processors, the desired image to the first image to determine a difference between a plurality of frexels within the first image and the desired image; and instructing, by the one or more processors, at least one reflectance modifying agent application element, to apply reflectance modifying agents to at least one of the plurality of frexels based on the difference, to emulate the one or more model features of the desired image within the region of the skin of the person.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
obtaining a desired image associated with a region of skin of a person depicting one or more model features of the region of the skin of the person; instructing at least one image generating element to scan the region of the skin to generate a first image depicting current features of the region of the skin; retrieving from the at least one image generating element the first image; comparing the desired image to the first image to determine a difference between a plurality of frexels within the first image and the desired image; and instructing at least one reflectance modifying agent application element, to apply reflectance modifying agents to at least one of the plurality of frexels based on the difference, to emulate the one or more model features of the desired image within the region of the skin of the person.
