Pore Detection from Human Skin Image using U-Net

There are medical hair removal and esthetic’s hair removal in the current hair removal approach. Hair loss damages the tissues from which hair grows (hair cells, dermal papilla). Esthetic’s hair removal has more constraints than the medical hair removal without a resident medical doctor and the effectiveness of the hair removal is lower. Therefore, pore detection is important to monitor the effect of hair removal. This paper proposes pore detection approach using U-Net [1] which is used in medical image segmentation and shows that proposed method detects pores from human skin images with high accuracy.
