Mapping Pigmentation in Human Skin by Multi-Visible-Spectral Imaging by Inverse Optical Scattering Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 is build to simulate the spectral reflectance of skin. Changing the variable parameters in the forward model, the simulation is repeated until the simulated spectral reflectance matches with the spectral reflectance at each pixel of the multi-spectral image. The principle of the proposed estimation technique was confirmed by imaging the human forearm under the venous occlusion, the venous and arterial occlusion, and by imaging a slapped region of the human forearm.

Towards Measurement of Polarization Properties of Skin using the Ellipsometry Technique
Introduction: The human skin is an active medium from the optical point of view. Therefore, the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques employing light are increasing. Current optical techniques are based on the measurement of the intensity of reflected absorbed or backscattered light from or within skin. Studies have shown that biological tissues, and in particular skin, demonstrate polarization...
متن کاملRetrieving skin properties from in vivo spectral reflectance measurements.
A previously developed inverse method was applied to in vivo normal-hemispherical spectral reflectance measurements taken on the inner and outer forearm as well as the forehead of healthy white Caucasian and black African subjects. The inverse method was used to determine the thickness and melanin concentration in the epidermis, dermal blood volume fraction and oxygen saturation, and skin's spe...
متن کاملReal-time Multi-Spectral Image Processing for Mapping Pigmentation in Human Skin
Real-time mapping pigmentation in human skin is expected to give useful information for reproducing various skin colors and monitoring human conditions in real time. In this research, the maps of melanin, oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin densities in skin are estimated and displayed in real time from digital video signals by using three pre-computed look up tables for color conversions. As t...
متن کاملMeasuring and predicting eyelid spectral transmittance.
The purpose of the present study was to objectively quantify the spectral transmittance of the eyelid. Reported here are data acquired using a technique that was developed to provide practical and accurate measurements of eyelid transmittance across the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The empirical data were analyzed in terms of the absorption and scattering characteristics of ...
