Abstract
Selfie is gaining popularity among the senior citizens, but for them using the “beauty” function is not very friendly. In this research, we intended to figure out the facial feature about what senior people care most and to build a prototype for the beautification application. This paper presents two studies: an online survey about senior citizens’ behavior on taking photos and a qualitative study on senior citizens’ aesthetics preference of faces. By analyzing the data we collected from the studies above, we find how the elderly think and behave are quite different from the traditional assumption. A simple beautification system is built based on the style GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) algorithm according to our conclusions. These results may provide a reference for future designs for beautification products.
