A virtual make-up apparatus and method: store cosmetic item information of cosmetic items of different colors; store a different texture component for each stored cosmetic item of a specific color; extract an object portion image of a virtual make-up from a facial image; extract color information from the object portion image; designate an item of the virtual make-up corresponding to a stored cosmetic item and output a color image by applying a color corresponding to the designated item on the object portion image; output a texture image, based on analyzed color information corresponding to a stored cosmetic item, by adding a texture component to a part of the object portion image; and display a virtual make-up image of virtual make-up using the designated item applied on the facial image, by using the color and texture images, and the object portion image of the virtual make-up of the facial image.

Virtual make-up apparatus and virtual make-up method

A terminal images first and second images respectively indicating facial images of a user before and after makeup, acquires information on a type or region of the makeup performed by the user, and transmits the first and second images and the information on the type or region of the makeup in association with each other to a server. The server deduces a makeup color of the makeup performed by the user based on the first and second images and the information on the type or region of the makeup performed by the user, and extracts at least one similar makeup item having the makeup color based on information on the makeup color and a makeup item database, and transmits information on at least one similar makeup item to the terminal. A terminal displays information on at least one similar makeup item transmitted from the server to a display unit.

This virtual make-up apparatus extracts an object portion image of a virtual make-up from a facial image captured by a camera, applies, on the object portion image, a color corresponding to an item in accordance with designation of the item for the virtual make-up, and adds a texture component different for each item, to a part of the object portion image. The virtual make-up apparatus displays, on a display unit, a virtual make-up image in which a virtual make-up using an item is applied on the facial image, by using the object portion image to which color is applied, an image in which a texture component is added to the part of the object portion image, and the object portion image of the virtual make-up of the facial image.

An image synthesis device includes imaging unit () that photographs video, displayer () that displays the photographed video, and makeup image superimposing unit () that changes brightness of a makeup image superimposed with a face of the video on a pixel basis and superimposes the makeup image of which the brightness is changed on the face of the video, every time skin brightness of the face included in the video changes. Even if the brightness that illuminates the face changes, it is possible to synthesize the makeup image with an image familiar to the skin in real time.

A histogram generator generates a histogram that indicates a count of pixels of a designated color in association with coordinates along a basic axis of a screen, for frame image data obtained by filming a real space. A histogram smoother performs smoothing of the generated histogram. A three-dimensional coordinates generator selects a value associated with particular coordinates from among the counts indicated in the smoothed histogram, and performs depth value determination for a target object using the selected value.

A system LSI serving as an image transmitter is a device for transmitting image data to a display device LCD connected by a data signal line. The system LSI comprises: an output image memory for storing the image data to be transmitted; a subtraction processing unit for reading the image data from the output image memory and obtaining the data of the difference between mutually adjacent pixels of the image data; and a data transmission unit for sequentially outputting a data signal, which expresses the difference data corresponding to the pixels as a binary number, to the data signal line in accordance with the arrangement of the pixels; wherein the data signal of the difference data in which the number of signal changes is reduced more than the case of outputting the pixel data to the data signal line is output.
