Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A skin diagnostic device comprising circuitry providing a processing unit coupled to a storage unit to configure the skin diagnostic device to provide:
a skin analysis unit to classify pixels of an image, that is a selfie face image from a user mobile device, using a deep neural network, which is already trained using a dataset of facial image data comprising selfie face images from user mobile devices, comprising a regressor and a classifier for image classification to generate the skin diagnosis for a skin condition;
wherein the deep neural network determines the skin diagnosis as an integer value on a scale classifying a severity of the skin condition over the image, and the deep neural network further provides an activation map to visualize the skin diagnosis in association with the image; and
wherein the skin diagnostic device is configured to:
perform a plurality (k) of data augmentations to the image to yield k augmented images for processing by the skin analysis unit;
process the k augmented images using the skin analysis unit to obtain k activation maps; and
define a final activation map for the image from the k activation maps to visualize the skin analysis.
