Paper Abstract
Automatic portrait enhancement by attenuating skin flaws (pimples, blemishes, wrinkles, etc.) has received
considerable attention from digital camera manufacturers thanks to its impact on the public. Subsequently, a
number of algorithms have been developed to meet this need. One central aspect to developing such an algorithm
is quality assessment: having a few numbers that precisely indicate the amount of beautification brought by an
algorithm (as perceived by human observers) is of great help, as it works on circumvent time-costly human
evaluation. In this paper, we propose a method to numerically evaluate the quality of a skin beautification
algorithm. The most important aspects we take into account and quantize to numbers are the quality of the
skin detector, the amount of smoothing performed by the method, the preservation of intrinsic skin texture, and
the preservation of facial features. We combine these measures into two numbers that assess the quality of skin
detection and beautification. The derived measures are highly correlated with human perception, therefore they
constitute a helpful tool for tuning and comparing algorithms.
