    Abstract: There are provided computing devices and methods, etc. to controllably transform an image of a face, including a high resolution image, to simulate continuous aging. Ethnicity-specific aging information and weak spatial supervision are used to guide the aging process defined through training a model comprising a GANs based generator. Aging maps present the ethnicity-specific aging information as skin sign scores or apparent age values. The scores are located in the map in association with a respective location of the skin sign zone of the face associated with the skin sign. Patch-based training, particularly in association with location information to differentiate similar patches from different parts of the face, is used to train on high resolution images while minimize resource usage.

    Abstract: Systems and methods process images to determine a skin condition severity analysis and to visualize a skin analysis such as using a deep neural network (e.g. a convolutional neural network) where a problem was formulated as a regression task with integer-only labels. Auxiliary classification tasks (for example, comprising gender and ethnicity predictions) are introduced to improve performance. Scoring and other image processing techniques may be used (e.g. in assoc. with the model) to visualize results such as highlighting the analyzed image. It is demonstrated that the visualization of results, which highlight skin condition affected areas, can also provide perspicuous explanations for the model. A plurality (k) of data augmentations may be made to a source image to yield k augmented images for processing. Activation masks (e.g. heatmaps) produced from processing the k augmented images are used to define a final map to visualize the skin analysis.
