A facial skin changing system

This paper presents a novel system to remove facial scars and pores for a portrait. The facial skin complexion and color are important attractive factors, and most people consider that a good portrait should be scar free and have smooth facial colors. Currently, most available commercial digital cameras or smart phones all provide facial-skin-beatification functions, but most of them only use simple image processing functions to smooth the taken image for the removal of small-scale unwanted facial scars and pores and these functions cannot remove large and obvious scars or pores from the face as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, the main contribution of this system allows the user to replace the facial skin of a portrait with a beautiful and scar-less skin of another portrait chosen from a database which consists of scar-free and beautiful skin complexion collected from webs.
