Abstract

A system and corresponding method for segmenting into regions a digital image derived from a photograph of part of a body, such as a photograph of the face of a person. The segmented regions can then be used as the basis for showing for example the face of the person wearing different cosmetic materials, since particular kinds of cosmetic materials are applied to particular regions of the face. The image segmenting is performed using a segment locator, responsive to a digital image of some part of a body and also to generic locating guidance. The segment locator provides segment location information that is approximate, and is used by a segment delineator to provide a precisely segmented image, in the form of at least one binary mask identifying a particular region along with the original image.
