  The eye shadow is a gradation arranged at the position (reference numeral ES) of (1) in FIG.

  The eye paint is designed to be arranged at the position (2) in FIG.

  The eye line is a line arranged at the position (reference numeral EL) in (3) of FIG.

  The pattern information (Feature) is information about colors (including gray scale) included in an image captured by a computer as a material and its distribution. The material is, for example, the butterfly wing pattern 100 of FIG. 6, and the pattern information is information of the stripe 120 of that color. For example, it is a rhombus 100 including the four colors C1 to C4 in FIG. 7, and the pattern information includes the colors C1 to C4 in FIG. It contains information. These are different from the shape information described below.

  Shape information (Mask) refers to the outline (outer shape) of the image captured by the computer as the material and the inner part of the image that has some color information (information indicating that it is an element constituting the image). (Region). It is a silhouette. A portion that does not have color information even inside the contour (a portion that is the same color as the background and is transparent) is not shape information (note that the portion may be included in the shape information. Is the entire area enclosed by the outline). The shape information is, for example, the butterfly silhouette 200 of FIG. 6 and the diamond-shaped silhouette 200 of FIG. The shape information defines a specific planar shape and does not include color information.

  The present invention relates to a method of generating a design for eye makeup (eye makeup design) from an image. The generated eye makeup design can be used for eye makeup as it is by printing it on a sticker.

  FIG. 1 shows a system for implementing an eye makeup design generation method according to an embodiment of the invention. A program for executing the eye makeup design generation method according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed in the personal computer PC. The eye makeup design generated by the personal computer PC is printed on a transfer sticker or the like by the printer PRT.

  Although FIG. 1 shows a system including a personal computer PC, the embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to a client server system. The user's personal computer (client) captures image data (material), uploads it to the server, and executes the following processing on the server. The obtained eye makeup design can be printed by a printer on the client side. Alternatively, it can be printed by a server-side printer and sent to the user from there.

  2 to 4 are process flowcharts according to the embodiment of the invention. 5 to 9 are explanatory diagrams of the processing. A description will be added below with reference to these drawings.

  First, the eye makeup design generation process flowchart of FIG. 1 is referred to.

  This process is a method of generating an eye makeup design that is one of makeup, including eye shadows arranged on the eyelids and eye lines arranged on the eyes. In an embodiment of the invention, the eye makeup design further includes eye paint that is generated using an image prepared in advance as a motif and arranged at a predetermined position around the eye (for example, “eyes”). That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the eye makeup design is divided into three elements of “eye shadow ES”, “eye line EL”, and “eye paint EP” to facilitate automatic generation of the design by the system.

  The eye shadow ES, which is the design of the eyelid part, and the eyeline EL, which is the design of the close part of the eye, are terms used in normal eye makeup. The eye paint EP is a term defined in the embodiment of the present invention, and is a part that reflects a part of the original image designated by the user in an icon style, and is usually placed at the corner of the eye corner. In the personal computer PC, each of these three elements is generated and combined to generate an eye makeup design.

S1: Read image data.
First, image data (material) including pattern information and shape information (shape) is read into a personal computer PC. The user selects an arbitrary image. For example, butterfly images with colorful patterns (FIGS. 5 and 6, but converted to gray scale), rhombus colored with multiple paints as shown in FIG. 7 (geometric pattern), etc. Is adopted. You can also use anime characters, floral decorations, still lifes, and more.

S2: The eye shadow process is executed.
A gradation is generated based on the color information included in the pattern information of the read image data, and an eye shadow is generated based on the gradation in a predetermined shape according to the shape of the eyelid.

  S2: The flowchart of FIG. 3 shows the eye shadow process in more detail. S10 to S13 are gradation generation processes. Hereinafter, FIG. 3 will be briefly described.

S10: The color information included in the pattern information of the read image data is reduced to a predetermined number of colors.

  FIG. 5A shows the original image data 100, which is reduced in color and converted into reference numeral 110 in FIG. 5B. Note that the color image is converted to grayscale. Although FIG. 5 is a gray scale, it is actually a colorful image including red, green, and blue.

  In order to create an eye shadow, for example, eight representative colors are selected from the image of FIG. The reason why the representative colors are eight is that when eye makeup is performed, usually 4 to 5 eye shadow powders are placed on the eyelids and blurred to create a gradation. The reason is that if there are 7 to 8 colors, which is the number of, the gradation enough to cover the eyelids can be made.

  Therefore, the image data 100 in FIG. 5 is reduced to 8 colors by known K-means clustering (FIG. 5B), and the color obtained thereby is used as a representative color.

  Assume that the colors acquired from the reduced color image (FIG. 5B) are 8 colors as shown in FIG. 5C. From left to right, assume green, blue, orange, light blue, dark brown, dark blue, red, and deep green. The size corresponds to the number of pixels.

  In FIG. 7, there is no need for subtracting four colors, and the image data 100 is used as it is.

S11: The reduced colors are grouped into similar colors.

  When making eyeshadows using the usual makeup method, the theme color is often used inside the eyes. Also in the embodiment of the present invention, the representative color having a larger number of pixels is considered as the color representing the image, and is arranged on the inner side. However, it has been found that if the pixels are mechanically arranged in the order of the number of pixels, similar colors may be discretely arranged in a plane image to form a striped pattern, which may be unnatural.

  In order to avoid this, the eight representative colors (FIG. 5C) acquired by subtractive color are first grouped into similar colors (FIG. 5D). The similar color groups used here are 19 colors: white, black, gray, brown, skin, orange, khaki, yellow, yellow green, dark green, green, light blue, blue, ultra-blue, dark blue, purple, pink, magenta, red It is. This group has been modified with color coding suitable for makeup with reference to the Munsell color system. The RGB value of the representative color is converted into an HSV value, and the hue, lightness, and saturation are judged and assigned to this similar color group.

S12: Except for groups assigned to white or black, they are arranged in the order of the number of pixels in the group.

  In the above grouping, the representative colors assigned to white and black are considered inappropriate as eye shadow colors and are excluded from the following processing.

  After the eight representative colors are grouped into similar colors in this way, the similar color group with many pixels is arranged on the inner side. When two or more types of representative colors are assigned to the same similar color group, the representative colors with many pixels are arranged inside the area assigned to the group. Accordingly, it is possible to realize an arrangement order in which the representative colors having a large number of colors tend to be arranged on the inner side while keeping the color change natural with respect to the eight representative colors.

  FIG. 5D shows the result of grouping and rearrangement. The color group 1 is a blue system, and consists of blue, light blue, and dark blue. Color group 2 is a green system, consisting of green and dark green. The color group 3 is a red line and consists of orange and red. Color group 4 is a tea system consisting of dark brown tea.

S13: The display width of each color in the eye shadow is determined based on the number of pixels of the reduced color.

  When the arrangement order of the eight representative colors is determined, the display width of each color and the width for gradation are determined next. As described above, a representative color having a large number of pixels is considered as a color representing an image, and a wide region is allocated to the representative color having a large number of pixels.

  At this time, the adjacent representative colors are not adjacent to each other, a space having an appropriate width is provided between the color regions, and the space is smoothly connected using the gradation function of OpenGL. A gradation as shown in FIG. 5E is obtained.

S14: An eye shadow ES is generated based on gradation in a predetermined shape.

  An eye shadow ES is generated based on the determined display width and gradation width.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the processing after S3 will be described.

S3: The eyeline process is executed.

  A predetermined linear eyeline EL is superimposed on the eyeshadow ES.

  A plurality of eyeline EL shapes are prepared in advance, and the user selects one of these shapes. The user also selects the color of the eyeline EL from full colors using a general color selection interface. The eyeline EL thus selected is added to the design of the eye shadow ES created above and the eye paint EP generated by the following processing.

S4: A feature region is acquired.

  Pattern information is acquired for a region (hereinafter “first region”) 101 designated in the image data 100.

S5: A mask area is acquired.

  Shape information is acquired for a region (hereinafter referred to as “second region”) 201 specified in the silhouette 200 of the image data 100.

  As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the user defines a “feature area” to be reflected as a pattern of the eye paint EP and a “mask area” to be reflected as a shape in a predetermined figure (for example, a rectangle, a circle, or an ellipse). Select with. Then, the eye paint process is executed.

S6: The eye paint process is executed.

  The eye paint process includes the processes of S20 and S21 in FIG.

S20: The pattern information 120 of the first area 101 is deformed according to the shape 220 of the second area 201.

S21: The deformed object 300 is placed on or in contact with the eye shadow ES as an eye paint EP.

  The eye paint is generated by combining the “feature area” and the “mask area” selected by the user as shown in FIGS. That is, the image of the first area (feature area) 101 is mapped by enlarging / reducing the vertical axis / horizontal axis so as to fit in the shape of the second area (mask area) 201, and then created from the image of the mask area Trim to match the shape of the mask image. The contour extraction function prepared as a function of OpenCV is used for mask image generation. The user can further perform processing such as partial erasure, writing, enlargement / reduction, rotation, and movement on the generated image.

  The user can apply the eye makeup by printing the design generated by the present system on a transfer sticker, cutting out the periphery of the picture, and pasting it on a bag (FIG. 9).

  The eye makeup paint (eye makeup design) is generated by the above procedure. The user selects what he likes, and finally adjusts brightness, flashiness, and the like. Since the eye makeup paint is premised on printing and used, not only the eye shadow ES but also the eye line EL is included as an eye makeup design.

  The embodiment of the present invention can be provided not only as computer software but also as a web service. When the user uploads an image to the Web server, an eye makeup design is generated by the algorithm described above, and the completed result can be downloaded and printed by the user and used as eye makeup in the real world. In addition, it can also be released as a smartphone app or incorporated as a stationary mechanical system.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims, and these are also included in the scope of the present invention. Needless to say.
