Evaluating a Multi-Spectral Imaging System for Mapping Pigments in Human Skin
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multi-spectral imaging system is evaluated for mapping melanin density, total-hemoglobin density, and oxygen saturation in human skin. In this system, the distribution of pigments in human skin is estimated and displayed from digital video signals using three pre-computed “look-up” tables for color conversions. The accuracy of the system is analyzed based on computer simulation by changing the number of bands, quantization levels of the camera system, and dimensions of approximation for spectral reflectance. The optimal system is examined based on the results of computer simulation.

Mapping Pigmentation in Human Skin by Multi-Visible-Spectral Imaging by Inverse Optical Scattering Technique
Mapping pigmentation in human skin is expected to give useful information in reproducing and diagnosing various skin colors. In this research, maps of melanin, oxyhemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin in skin are estimated from multi-visible-spectral image by using an inverse optical scattering technique. In the inverse optical scattering technique, first of all, a forward model of optical scattering...

متن کاملEvaluating different spectral indices in identification and preparation of soil salinity mapping of arid region of Iran
Soil salinity undergoes significant spatial and temporal variations; therefore, salinity mapping is difficult, expensive, and time consuming. However, researchers have mainly focused on arid soils (bare) and less attention has been paid to halophyte plants and their role as salinity indicators. Accordingly, this paper aimed to investigate the relationship between soil properties, such as electr...
متن کاملImage Segmentation and Pigment Mapping of Cultural Heritage Based on Spectral Imaging
The goal of the work reported in this dissertation is to develop methods for image segmentation and pigment mapping of paintings based on spectral imaging. To reach this goal it is necessary to achieve sufficient spectral and colorimetric accuracies of both the spectral imaging system and pigment mapping. The output is a series of spatial distributions of pigments (or pigment maps) composing a ...
