Computer simulation of the skin reflectance spectra

چکیده
The reflectance spectra of the human skin in visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectral region have been calculated using the Monte Carlo technique, and the specular and internal reflection on the medium surface is taken into account. Skin is represented as a complex inhomogeneous multi-layered highly scattering and absorbing medium. The model takes into account variations in spatial distribution of blood, index of blood oxygen saturation, volume fraction of water and chromophores content. The simulation of the skin tissues optical properties and skin reflectance spectra are discussed. Comparison of the results of simulation and in vivo experimental results are given.

متن کاملImprovement of the Classification of Hyperspectral images by Applying a Novel Method for Estimating Reference Reflectance Spectra
Hyperspectral image containing high spectral information has a large number of narrow spectral bands over a continuous spectral range. This allows the identification and recognition of materials and objects based on the comparison of the spectral reflectance of each of them in different wavelengths. Hence, hyperspectral image in the generation of land cover maps can be very efficient. In the hy...

متن کاملQuantitative assessment of skin layers absorption and skin reflectance spectra simulation in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions.
We have simulated diffuse reflectance spectra of skin by assuming a wavelength-independent scattering coefficient for the different skin tissues and using the known wavelength dependence of the absorption coefficient of oxy- and deoxyhaemoglobin and water. A stochastic Monte Carlo method is used to convert the wavelength-dependent absorption coefficient and wavelength-independent scattering coe...
متن کاملStudy on the Effect of Blood Content on Diffuse Reflectance Spectra of Basal Cell Carcinoma Skin Tissue
Diffuse reflectance spectrum as a noninvasive method has been widely used to study the optical properties of cutaneous skin tissue. In this work, we optimized an eight-layered optical model of basal cell carcinoma skin tissue to study its optical properties. Based on the model, the diffuse reflectance spectra were reconstructed in visible wavelength range by Monte Carlo methods. After different...
