PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of evaluating obviousness of the surface reflection of skin, capable of quantitatively evaluating whether the surface reflection of the skin is apparently obvious or not based on characteristic factors of the skin such as texture and color of the skin.SOLUTION: In the method of evaluating the obviousness of the surface reflection of the skin, the degree of smoothness of texture of the skin in a target region is obtained, and the color of the skin of the target region is measured to obtain the brightness of the skin, and then the obviousness of the surface reflection is evaluated based on the obtained degree of smoothness of texture and the brightness of the skin.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】皮膚のキメや皮膚色という各個の皮膚特性要因から皮膚の表面反射が外観的に目立ちやすいかどうかを定量的に評価することができる皮膚の表面反射の目立ちやすさの評価方法を提供すること。【解決手段】被験部位の皮膚のキメの細かさの度合いを求め、前記被験部位の皮膚色を計測して、皮膚の明るさを求め、前記で求められたキメの細かさの度合いおよび前記で得られた皮膚の明るさに基づいて表面反射の目立ちやすさを評価することを特徴とする皮膚の表面反射の目立ちやすさの評価方法。【選択図】なし
