SAMBA FACE
SAMBA Face system is a unique device to provide quantitative data of skin gloss correlated to subjective visual assessments.
It is used worldwide by cosmetic manufacturers to objectively evaluate in-vivo the efficacy of face products for formulation and claims approval.
SAMBA Face system comes as a turn-key system including hardware and PC along with a dedicated software.
TECHNOLOGY
SAMBA Face System includes a special polarized camera, a polarized LED illumination, a chin-rest and computer with our own software, allowing the user to acquire the measurement in one click. A complete analysis (numerical data and images) of the visual characteristics (gloss, color, images, etc.) is delivered in seconds.
MEASURING PRINCIPLE
When light interacts with skin, two types of lights are observed:
- Reflection on the skin surface which creates gloss image.
- Diffused light is a background uniform color
The Samba technology provides the acquisition of two states of polarization images at video rate. Polarization imaging then allows to separate reflections from diffusion as illustrated below:
Gloss Image = Parallel image - Diffused image
SOFTWARE
The dedicated software allows to handle large studies as many subjects and visits as possible.
Green target overlay + Ghost image feature to help reposition panelist between visits.
Many possible camera views
Main menu
Data acquisition is separate from the data processing allowing easy post processing.
Regions Of Interest (ROIs)
Create or modify new regions of interest (ROI) that can be used for different studies.
