skin brightness detection device, skin brightness detection method, and computer program

摘要

The present invention relates to a device and method for detecting skin brightness. To enable detection of skin brightness in a simple and effective manner, preferably with an available user device, the device comprises a light unit (2) for illuminating an area of the skin at a flash rate, an imaging unit (3) for acquiring skin area images at an imaging rate that is different from said brightness rate and a processing unit (4) for processing captured images and detecting the amount of skin area brightness of at least one image partial image of the skin area being illuminated by said lighting unit and at least a partial image of the skin area while not being illuminated by said lighting unit.
