Abstract:
A collector (202) captures light from source images as a field of pixels, a color analyzer (292) analyzes a proper subset (420) of the field to produce a plurality of color values, and a cosmetic analyzer then uses the color values to produce a cosmetic color determination. Another aspect of the present invention comprises a window having a light passage area, a color calibration region that is not coextensive with the light passage area, and a detectable product identification region. The window may also contain a mechanism that tends to preclude multiple uses. A third aspect of the present invention is a system that combines the collector, the color analyzer, the cosmetic analyzer, and window.

Abstract:
Systems and methods use infrared ("IR") wavelengths to assist in cosmetic determination of hair and skin color. Preferred embodiments include a light collector that has significant sensitivity to light waves having a wavelength above 700 nm, and in various contemplated embodiments the light collector has significant sensitivity to light waves above 750, 800, 850 nm, 900 nm, 1000 nm and/or 1100 nm.

Abstract:
An advanced cosmetic color analysis system (Fig. 1) analyzes the color of a three dimensional object (element 120) to produce a plurality of color values for distinct subsets of a portion of the object, and a cosmetic analyzer (element 150) combines the color values to produce a cosmetic color determination that has relative weightings of multiple cosmetic colors. Contemplated systems are particularly useful for determination of suitable cosmetic products (or composition thereof) to achieve a particular and desired cosmetic appearance.
