Study Type: Observational non invasive

Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary objective is to collect images on which early pimple markers can be<br /><br>identified by a skin expert review or algorithm at least 1 day before they are<br /><br>visible (visible or tangible) for the subject (self-detection).<br /><br><br /><br>The primary endpoint of the study is to proof if the earlier detection of early<br /><br>pimple markers by the chosen measurement methods is possible before the pimples<br /><br>are noticeable by the volunteers.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The secondary objectives are:<br /><br>- Determine if it is possible to identify pimples on facial images at least 1<br /><br>day before they are visible on the image to an expert (expert-detection)<br /><br>- Get an indication of the size of time difference between self-detection,<br /><br>expert-detection and early detection<br /><br>- Develop an algorithm to automatically detect early pimple markers<br /><br><br /><br>The outcome measures are:<br /><br>* Proof if detection of early pimple markers by the chosen measurement methods<br /><br>is possible before the pimples are visible on images for an expert<br /><br>* A definition of what is earlier detection in terms of time resolution (how<br /><br>many days)<br /><br>* Potentially, an algorithm to automatically detect early pimple markers</p><br>
