Abstract

A method of manufacturing a face mask with electrodes for a user. The method includes locating the wrinkles on a user's face. The step of locating the wrinkles on a user's face including providing an image of the user's face, cropping the image and centering the user's face. The step of locating the wrinkles further including detecting facial feature landmarks in the image, segmenting skin regions based on the facial feature landmarks, locating pixels in a linear pattern and with a high contrast to neighbouring pixels, and classifying wrinkles from the edges of facial features. The method further including creating a face mask with tessellated arrays of interlocking units that impart biaxial stretchability and three-dimensional facial contour conformity, the face mask including a plurality of holders located at a plurality of wrinkle locations, wherein each of the plurality of holders being configured to hold an electrode, and manufacturing the face mask on a 3D printer.
