  • Abstract
    An image processing system for beautifying human face images with enhancement is proposed using interactive evolutionary computing. Authors proposed before a nonlinear digital filter bank system, which removes undesirable skin components, such as wrinkles and spots, from human face images to make the face look beautified. Also, the system is designed optimally on the basis of human subjective criteria using interactive evolutionary computing. The system was shown to be almost effective, but it slightly blurs the input face image. Here, face image beautifying system with image enhancement is proposed. This system can beautify face images while keeping them sharp. Moreover, this system can sharpen blurred face images. The whole system is also designed by the interactive evolutionary computing. The new system is verified to be effective in processing an actual face image.
