L'Oréal and ModiFace: An Artificial Intelligence-powered skin diagnostic - L'Oréal Group World Leader in Beauty Official Website

#artificialintelligence

L'Oréal's recently acquired Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence entity, ModiFace, and L'Oréal Research & Innovation, have announced the launch of a digital skin diagnostic for consumers based on 15 years of scientific research on skin aging by L'Oréal R&I evaluation teams. This new technology is based on an Artificial Intelligence-powered algorithm developed by ModiFace and nourished by L'Oréal's skin aging expertise and photo database. Using deep learning, the algorithm has been trained on 6000 clinical images from L'Oréal's R&I evaluation and knowledge studies conducted with Skin Aging Atlases, and then a new model has been created on over 4500 smartphones selfies for 3 groups of women (Asian, Caucasian and Afro-American) in 4 different lighting conditions. The results, which were developed with dermatologists, achieved a high level of skin assessment precision. Accurate results were obtained with different facial expressions and photo taking conditions (light, phone position) similar to those used by consumers.
