Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for generating a user-hair-color model. One embodiment takes the form of a process that includes obtaining video data depicting a head of a user. The process also includes determining a set of line segments of pixels of the video data, wherein each line segment in the determined set of line segments intersects an upper contour of the depicted head of the user. The process also includes grouping at least some of the pixels of at least one of the line segments in the determined set of line segments into three sets of pixels based at least in part on respective color data of the pixels. The three sets of pixels include a skin-pixel set, a hair-pixel set, and a background-pixel set. The process also includes updating a user hair-color model based at least in part on the skin-pixel set.
