Skin state analyzing method, skin state analyzing device, and recording medium on which skin state analyzing program is recorded

摘要

A skin state analyzing apparatus (46) for analyzing skin texture or pores of an examinee using an image of the skin of the examinee, the apparatus comprising: RGB component extracting means (52) for extracting R components, G components, and B components from the image; pore image extracting means (53) for extracting a pore image from the R components and the B components or G components obtained by the RGB component extracting means; pore parameter generating means (54) for generating a parameter pertaining to pore size from the pore image; furrow image extracting means (55) for extracting a furrow image from the G components obtained by the RGB component extracting means; furrow parameter generating means (46) for generating a parameter pertaining to furrow width from the furrow image; ridge image extracting means (57) for extracting a ridge image from the pore image and the furrow image; ridge parameter generating means (58) for generating a parameter pertaining to ridge fineness and/or ridge shape from the ridge image; and parameter analyzing means (59) for analyzing the skin texture or pores using at least one of the parameters generated by the pore parameter generating means, the furrow parameter generating means, and the ridge parameter generating means, wherein the pore image extracting means generates a difference image from the R components and the B components or G components and removes furrows from the generated difference image to extract the pore image. Discloses is further a corresponding method and computer programme.
