Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing a hair loss checking apparatus according to the present invention.

1, the hair loss checking apparatus includes a camera unit 110, a display unit 120, a memory unit 130, and a controller 140.

The camera unit 110 photographs a hair loss region and generates a current photographic image. The camera unit 110 includes a photographing unit such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device). The camera unit 110 photographs a hair loss region through the CCD and transmits the hair loss region to the display unit 130 under the control of the controller 140.

The memory unit 120 stores past photographed images of the hair loss regions. The memory unit 120 may store a delimiter for each hair loss region. In addition, the memory unit 120 may store an identifier indicating the center of the hair loss region, a boundary line indicating the border of the hair loss region, an area of the hair loss region, the number of hair, the calculated hair density, and the photographing date.

The display unit 130 displays the current captured image received from the camera unit 110. At this time, the display unit 130 displays the past photographed image received from the memory as the background image of the current photographed image. In addition, the display unit 130 can display the area of the hair loss region, the number of hair, the calculated hair density, the desired hair density to be input, the number of hair to be transplanted, and the like.

On the other hand, the display unit 130 can display a virtual image of a depilation part virtually implemented by reflecting the number of hair to be transplanted.

The control unit 140 extracts a past photographed image from the memory unit 120 and displays it on the display unit 130 as a background image. In addition, the control unit 140 displays the current photographed image received from the camera unit 110 on the display unit 130 as a main image. At this time, the control unit 140 can reduce the brightness of the past photographed image and maintain the brightness lower than the brightness of the current photographed image. In addition, the control unit 140 can adjust the size of the past photographed image and the current photographed image, thereby matching the past photographed image with the current photographed image. At this time, the control unit 140 displays together with the display unit 130 a boundary line indicating the boundary of the hair loss region or the identifier indicating the center of the hair loss region included in the past captured image, It can be done easily.

The control unit 140 calculates the current hair density of the hair loss region and displays it on the display unit 130. [ The current hair density is performed using a density calculation program. For example, the density calculation program may include a process of calculating the area of the hair loss site by connecting the boundary of the hair loss site with a line, a process of manually or automatically calculating the number of hair, a process of dividing the number of hair by area .

When receiving the desired hair density from the outside, the control unit 140 compares the desired hair density with the current hair density, calculates the number of hair to be implanted at the hair loss site, and displays it on the display unit 130. The control unit 140 stores the calculated hair density and the hairline mark of the hair loss region in the memory unit 120 by matching with the date.

The control unit 140 may display a virtual image on the display unit 130 when the calculated number of transplanted hair is coated on the depilation area. Through this, the patient can confirm the result of the desired hair density selected by the patient, and as a result, the patient can receive the opportunity to correct the desired hair density, thereby maximizing the satisfaction of the procedure.
