1. A method for analyzing lip conditions associated with a subject, comprising:
- acquiring a first white-light image and a first UV image of the lips of a subject, each of the first white-light and UV images include a plurality of pixels, each pixel in the first UV image corresponding to a respective pixel in the first white-light image;
examining properties of each pixel in at least the first white-light image to identify lip-pixels in the first white-light and UV images; and
obtaining results associated with at least one lip condition using information in the lip-pixels in at least one of the first white-light and UV images.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for analyzing lip conditions using digital images. The method comprises acquiring a white-light image and an ultraviolet (“UV”) image of the lips of a subject, each of the white-light and UV images including a plurality of pixels and each pixel in the UV image corresponding to a respective pixel in the white-light image. The method further comprises identifying lip-pixels in the white-light and UV images, and obtaining results associated with at least one lip condition using information in the lip pixels in the first white light and UV images.
