Description of Related Art

It's our human nature to appreciate beauty. No matter in aesthetics or from a physical health point of view, everyone wants to have an attractive appearance. The condition of our facial skin is a decisive factor for judging a person's attractiveness. Therefore, an assessment of the facial skin condition of a subject becomes very important now. Conventionally, in the field of cosmetic treatments, the evaluation of the skin condition is done subjectively by naked eyes of a medical practitioner with his or her past experiences. The accuracy of the evaluation is oftentimes debatable and cannot reflect the whole picture of the subject's condition.

The imaging technology is developing vigorously in recent years and thus an image of the facial skin of a subject can be captured by a high resolution camera. Then, the skin image data can be digitized by processing the image through an image recognition algorithm for an objective diagnosis. For example, the image recognition algorithm can be an independent component analysis (ICA). The independent component analysis isolates elements like hemoglobin and melanin of the facial skin from the subject into a first independent component and a second independent component, respectively, for determining the current skin condition of the subject. In short, the independent component analysis first captures the facial skin image of the subject with the high resolution camera. Original image data of red band (R), green band (G) and blue band (B) will be processed by a conversion equation so as to be converted into three independent components. The first independent component is used for determining a distribution of the hemoglobin, and the second independent component is used for determining a distribution of the melanin. However, there are overlapping signal occurrences between different band signals in the original RGB data. One is between the blue band and the green band. The other is between the green band and the red band. Thus, each of the converted independent components cannot effectively present original features of the facial skin of the subject. That is, an accurate image cannot be provided after the conversion.

Accordingly, a skin analyzer, which can improve the quality of the converted image, is necessary in the market.

Please refer to FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D and 3E. FIG. 3A is a front view of a skin analyzer according to a first example of the present disclosure. FIG. 3B is a three dimensional view of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure. FIG. 3C is a right side view of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure. FIG. 3D is a three dimensional view of the skin analyzer of FIG. 3B without the configuration of a portable device. FIG. 3E is a rear side view of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure. The structure of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A. That is, the skin analyzer of the first example includes a base 100, an optical imaging system 200, at least a flash module 300, a circuit module 400, a computing module 500 and a display module 600. It is noted that the computing module 500 and the display module 600 of the skin analyzer of the first example are built in the portable device 700.

As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the base 100 of the skin analyzer of the first example can be a case with a semi-circle shape. The base 100 has a receiving space (not shown) for other parts if necessary. In addition, the base 100 further includes a mirror portion 102. The mirror portion 102 is disposed at one side of the base 100 while facing the subject.

In addition, the stand 104 is rotatable and connected to the base 100 so that the angle θ can be adjusted. Thus, the portable device 700 can be placed against the mirror portion 102 and is held in place by friction thereof.

More particularly, the portable device 700 can be detached from the base 100 when the skin analyzer is not in the use, as shown in FIG. 3D and FIG. 3E. Furthermore, the base 100 further includes a first receiving groove 106. The stand 104 can be rotated and folded into the first receiving groove 106 for compactness of the skin analyzer.

In addition, the optical imaging system 200 is disposed at an upper portion of the base 100 and includes a first housing 208 for concealing the abovementioned elements. The first housing 208 is further coupled with the base 100 to prevent elements of the optical imaging system 200 from being affected by the external environmental factors while operating.

Further referring to FIG. 4A, a drawing shows response curves of an image sensor of a skin analyzer without the configuration of a band-stop filter set. As shown in FIG. 4A, there are two overlapping signals 804 and 805 without the configuration of the band-stop filter set. The overlapping signal 804 occurs between a blue band 801 and a green band 802, and the overlapping signal 805 occurs between a green band 802 and a red band 803. Thus, each of the converted independent components cannot present original features of the facial skin of the subject effectively. The data of FIG. 4A is listed as Table 1:

TABLE 1
#	Center Wavelength (nm)	Full Width at Half Maximum (nm)
801	450 +/− 2	+/−50
802	530 +/− 2	+/−50
803	625 +/− 2	+/−50
804	490 +/− 2	+/−25
805	590 +/− 2	+/−25

In order to suppress the overlapping signals of the B-G band and the G-R band, the band-stop filter set 206 of the first example can include a first band-stop filter 2062 and a second band-stop filter 2064 as shown in FIG. 2A. Furthermore, a center wavelength of a band-stop of the first band-stop filter 2062 can be set up at an intersection Q1 of the blue band and the green band (B-G band) as shown in FIG. 4A. Moreover, a center wavelength of a band-stop of the second band-stop filter 2064 can be set up at an intersection Q2 of the green band and the red band (G-R band).

The first band-stop filter 2062 is a blue-green filter, and the second band-stop filter is a green-red filter. When an upper limit wavelength of a band-stop of the first band-stop filter 2062 is WL1 and a lower limit wavelength of a band-stop of the second band-stop filter 2064 is WL2, the following condition is satisfied: 70 nm<WL2−WL1<100 nm.

Additionally, the rejected band of the first band-stop filter 2062 is ranging from 471 nm to 504 nm. Furthermore, the rejected band has a center wavelength of 488 nm, with a full width at half maximum of 15 nm and an error within 2 nm in positive or in negative. Further referring to FIG. 4B, a drawing shows a transmission data of the first band-stop filter 2062 of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure. The transmission of the first band-stop filter 2062 between 482 nm and 498 nm is less than 50%. The rejected band of the second band-stop filter 2064 is ranged from 572 nm to 616 nm. Moreover, the rejected band has a center wavelength of 594 nm, a full width at half maximum of 23 nm and an error within 2 nm in positive or in negative. As shown in FIG. 4C, a drawing shows a transmission data of the second band-stop filter 2064 of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure. The transmission of the second band-stop filter 2064 between 583 nm and 603 nm is less than 50%.

Please refer to FIG. 4D. FIG. 4D is a drawing showing response curves of an image sensor of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure. The data of FIG. 4D is listed as Table 2:

TABLE 2
#	Center Wavelength (nm)	Full Width at Half Maximum (nm)
806	450 +/− 2	+/−25
807	520 +/− 2	+/−25
808	660 +/− 2	+/−25

As shown in FIG. 4D and Table 2, the overlapping signals between the blue band 806 and the green band 807, and the overlapping signals between the green band 807 and the red band 808 are both improved with the band-stop filter set. In addition, a peak quantum efficiency of a red band of the image sensor is less than a peak quantum efficiency of a green band or a blue band of the image sensor. Furthermore, a full width at half maximum of the band-stop filter set is less than 40 nm.

In addition, a band-pass filter also can be utilized for suppressing the overlapping signals of the B-G band and the G-R band. In particular, a filter with passing bands of 400 nm˜471 nm, 504 nm˜572 nm and 616 nm˜700 nm can be utilized as the band-pass filter as mentioned above.

The flash module 300 also includes a second housing 308. As shown in FIG. 3A, the abovementioned elements of the flash module 300 can be covered by the second housing 308. The second housing 308 is further coupled with the base 100 to prevent elements of the flash module 300 from being affected by the external environmental factors while operating.

In the first example, there is one flash module 300 disposed at each side of the optical imaging system 200, respectively. In addition, the second housing 308 of the flash module 300 is a triangular housing so that the skin analyzer of the first example in the present disclosure has a cat's-face shaped appearance. Furthermore, the flash module 300 can be fixed on the base 100 through the second housing 308 so as to be integrated with the base 100. In details, the flash polarizer 302 is located between the flash lamp 304 and the imaging area A. Furthermore, the flash polarizer 302 and the imaging polarizer 204 can be disposed in a relatively orthogonal orientation with each other to allow the light to pass in a single direction.

Other elements of the skin analyzer in the first example, such as the circuit module 400, the computing module 500 and the display module 600, are mentioned above so that there is no further description herein.

Please refer to FIGS. 5A, 5B, 5C and 6. FIG. 5A is a three dimensional view of a skin analyzer according to a second example of the present disclosure. FIG. 5B is a three dimensional view of the skin analyzer of FIG. 5A without the configuration of a portable device 700a. FIG. 5C is a schematic view of a flash module 300a in a folded position of the skin analyzer according to the second example of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is a structural schematic view of the flash module 300a of the skin analyzer according to the second example of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5A, the skin analyzer of the second example in the present disclosure includes a base 100a, an optical imaging system 200a, two flash modules 300a, a circuit module (not shown), a computing module (not shown) and a display module (not shown). The computing module and the display module of the skin analyzer herein are also built in the portable device 700a. In the second example, the configuration and the pathway of the signal transmission between the optical imaging system 200a, the flash modules 300a, the circuit module, the computing module and the display module are the same as the first example so that a description in this regard will not be provided again herein.

In the second example, the structure of the base 100a of the skin analyzer has a narrow top and a wide bottom so that an additional support stand for the base 100a is not required herein. In addition, a protrusion 108a is formed on the base 100a for fixing the portable device 700a thereon.

The base 100a has two second receiving grooves 106a. Each of the second receiving grooves 106a is disposed at each side of the base 100a corresponding to one of the flash modules 300a. As shown in FIG. 6, the second example is similar to the first example except for the flash modules 300a. Each of the flash modules 300a of the second example can include a movable member 310a disposed in the base 100a for moving the flash module 300a to an unfolded position (as shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B) or a folded position (as shown in FIG. 5C). Furthermore, the portable device 700a can be detached as shown in FIG. 5B when the skin analyzer is not used. An operation of a user interface of the portable device 700a is then performed to switch on a flash activation circuit 306a of the flash module 300a. Thus, the movable member 310a drives the flash module 300a to move from the unfolded position to the folded position so as to be received in the second receiving groove 106a.

The conditions of the band-stop filter set utilized in the optical imaging system 200a of the skin analyzer according to the second example of the present disclosure are the same as the first example.

Each element of the skin analyzer in the present disclosure and the connection of these elements thereof have been illustrated as above. Subsequently, details of operating the skin analyzer in the first example and an analysis process are described and shown with FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 is schematic view showing an operation status of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure. FIG. 8 is a flow chart of an image analysis process of the skin analyzer according to the first example of the present disclosure. The image analysis process includes Step S700, Step S702, Step S704, Step S706 and Step S708.

As shown in FIG. 7, the skin analyzer is placed on a surface plane P when a subject S accepts to detect a skin condition of his/her facial skin. An angle between the base 100 and the surface plane P can be adjusted through the stand 104 to allow the facial skin of the subject S (the imaging area A) to be positioned within the field of view of the optical imaging system 200. Then, the user interface of the portable device 700 is operated to allow the display module to send a control signal to the signal synchronization circuit of the circuit module for triggering the flash module 300 and the optical imaging system 200. The image of the imaging area A is captured through the imaging polarizer with the band-stop filter set, and then transmitted to the computing module through the data transmission module of the circuit module.

As shown in FIG. 8, the computing module obtains image information (Step S700) and then pre-processes the image information (Step S702). A training sequence is performed as shown in Step S704. Basis elements, such as an intensity and a distribution of signals of the first independent component and the second independent component, of the skin condition of the subject S are then obtained (Step 706) for evaluating quantitative indicators of the skin condition. A detection result will be returned to the display module (Step S708). Finally, the detection result and the image information of the imaging area A are shown by the display module.

In conclusion, the present disclosure utilizes the configuration of the band-stop filter set or the band-pass filter to suppress the overlapping signals of the B-G band and the G-R band. Thereby, the features of the image will not be hindered by the overlapping signals so as to improve the quality of the image after the conversion.

Although the present disclosure has been described in considerable detail with reference to certain embodiments thereof, there are other possible embodiments with different parameters. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the appended claims should not be limited to the description of the embodiments contained herein.
