Redness Algorithm
About Algorithm
Disclaimer about natural skin behaviour that might affect results stability:
Skin redness is a skin health parameter, that may vary a lot during the day and change very quickly due to the natural properties of the skin.
Disclaimer about algorithm sensitivity:
The Redness Algorithm is sensitive to the colour tone of illumination.
The incorrect intensity of the light (light different significantly from white light) may lead to incorrect (insufficient or extreme) estimation of the redness amount
This Algorithm estimates the visible presence and intensity of the increased overall skin redness or local irritation spots on the face, caused by any of the reasons including allergic reactions, inflammatory processes, and environmental factors.
This Algorithm estimates indicated skin health parameters on: forehead, right cheek, left cheek, and nose areas.
The Main Metric for this Algorithm is the Redness Score, with a range from 0 to 100.
Values from 80 to 100 are considered as skin with no visible signs of increased redness or local irritation. It is worth noticing that for some people (especially among the Fitzpatrick phenotype groups 1 and 2) this situation might mean insufficient blood flow to the skin, causing it to look very pale.
Values from 50 to 70 are considered as a relatively good skin condition.
Values below 50 are considered as an alerting skin condition, that might require specialist attention.
Redness Score is a non-linear combination of the Submetrics.
There are several Submetrics for this Algorithm:
Redness Local Score - the degree of local rednesses (blood vessels, irritation, etc.).
Redness Global Score - the overall increase in skin area redness.
