Smart Dermatology: Enhancing Skin Type Identification and Product Recommendation using Computer Vision

  • Unique Paper ID: 177678
  • PageNo: 6108-6115
  • Abstract:
  • This research, we introduce a machine learning based personalized skincare recommendation system which classifies facial skin into the three basic types i.e.: Oily, Dry and Normal by using deep learning. To improve generalization, the facial images were processed with resizing, normalization and data augmentation to create a curated dataset. The system takes advantage of CNNs and pretrain model such as ResNet50, EfficientNet-B0 using ensemble learning to obtain high accuracy based on robust feature extraction. With F1-score of 94% and classification accuracy of 92%, the hybrid model combining ResNet50 and EfficientNetB0 bested by performance, but also by the fact that it can capture dermatological nuances regardless of lighting or skin tone. This model also outperforms typical ML models like SVM, RF, and KNN in terms of accuracy and has strong promise for deployment in real time mobile skincare apps and virtual dermatology tools where the current primary solutions are unacceptable
