Methods of classifying periorbital dyschromia and systems therefor

Abstract:

A method and system for classifying different types of periorbital dyschromia is disclosed. The method includes providing at least one of a predetermined imaging characteristic and a biological characteristic for each of three different types of periorbital dyschromia, and then measuring the appropriate characteristic on a person exhibiting periorbital dyschromia. The type of periorbital dyschromia exhibited by a person can then be determined by comparing the measured value to the predetermined value and selecting the corresponding type of periorbital dyschromia.
