Research on Virtual Makeup System Based on SDM

Abstract

This paper presents a visual-based virtual makeup system, which uses a camera to turn a user's computer into a virtual mirror. With this system, users do not need to experience in physical store, through the computer user can pick their own designated color lipstick, and to see their lip’s color effect of lipstick in real time. The system first detects the user's face and the positions of user's lips. Based on feature point detection and alignment, the SDM[1] algorithm is used to detect the lip’s feature points in real time. It is highly accurate, fast and it can meet the real-time requirements. We set the lips as the region of interest, then smooth the edge of lips, through the gamma correction to solve the lips of the light compensation because light compensation have a big influence to my lip makeup effect, and finally to achieve lip color. The user can freely choose the lipstick color in the video to watch the effect of the using lipstick. The biggest advantage of the system compared to other existing lip systems is it’s real-time and accuracy.
