Hereinafter, an apparatus and method for providing cosmetic information using 3D modeling according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a beauty information providing apparatus using three-dimensional modeling according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the beauty information providing apparatus 100 using 3D modeling includes an imaging unit 101, an interface 103, a communication unit 105, a processor 107, a display unit 109, and a database 111. It includes.

The imaging unit 101 acquires an image of an object (eg, a face of a user, a head). The image capturing unit 101 may include n camera modules (n is a natural number) for capturing an image image distinguished from each other by capturing an object in different directions. Here, the camera module is a fixed first camera module for acquiring an image image of the object in a fixed position and direction, and a movable second camera module for acquiring an image image of the object in a changed position or direction according to the intention of the user. It may include. Accordingly, the user may check an image image of a desired portion by using the second camera module.

The imaging unit 101 may include, for example, four fixed first camera modules and one movable second camera module positioned on the left, right, front, and back of the object, to acquire an image image of the object. Can be.

The interface 103 may receive additional information or control information, for example, from a keyboard, a mouse, a remote controller, or the like. The interface 103 may receive, for example, additional information about at least one of a cosmetic list owned by the user, a specific part of the object, or a style desired by the user, and may be stored in the database 111. In addition, the interface 103 may receive control information regarding at least one of TV data information or display environment setting information (eg, screen size, location, number of display windows, etc.).

The communication unit 105 may include a first communication unit 105 and a second communication unit 105, and may optionally include a third communication unit 105.

The first communication unit 105 transmits the stereoscopic image information on the object to the style providing server (not shown) through the wired or wireless communication network, receives the style information on the stereoscopic image provided by the artist from the style providing server, and receives a database. Can be stored at 111. In this case, the first communication unit 105 may provide an environment in which the style may be variously produced according to the guidance of an expert by receiving the style information from the style providing server in real time and providing the style information to the processor 107. Instead, the style information may be received later from the style providing server.

The second communication unit 105 is a beauty information (for example, hair (hair style, color) / makeup (part makeup) method, stereoscopic hair / makeup method, hair / by the information providing server (not shown) Cosmetics, props, etc. necessary for makeup) may be received and stored in the database 111. At this time, the second communication unit 105 may maintain the latest beauty information by receiving the beauty information updated at a predetermined interval from the information providing server and stored in the database 111.

The third communication unit 105 may be, for example, a TV tuner and may receive TV data information from a broadcast server (not shown).

The processor 107 generates a stereoscopic image in consideration of the shape of the object by using the acquired image image by the imaging unit 101. In this case, the processor 107 may three-dimensionally model n image images to generate a stereoscopic image in which the shape (eg, size or contour) of the object is reflected. Here, the processor 107 may compare the background image and the image image including the object to check the overall shape of the object, and by using symmetry in the image image, the shape of a specific part (eg, eyes, nose, mouth in the face). )can confirm.

In addition, the processor 107 may generate a stereoscopic image in consideration of the shape of the object by using the image image of the object, but is not limited thereto. The processor 107 may use the size information of the object input through the interface 103. In addition, a stereoscopic image may be generated considering the shape of the object.

The processor 107 may extract beauty information corresponding to the stereoscopic image from the database 111, and display the cosmetic information on the display unit 109 together with the image image.
