Abstract
An image of an individual () is obtained via a digital camera (). The RGB image data is then processed to derive from the image data data representative of the distribution of chromophores resulting in the appearance of the individual (). A calculated chromophore distribution is then utilised to derive a revised chromophore distribution representing the effect of the desired cosmetic or surgical intervention or medical condition. This chromophore distribution is then processed to generate an output image () illustrating the expected result of that intervention. The generated image () can be displayed simultaneously with an original image () so that the extent of expected improvement can be determined.
