A device for the color measurement and detection of spots on the skin

Blackwell Synergy Jan 19 2008 Dermatology

Background/purpose: In this work, we present a new and fast easy-to-use device that allows the measurement of color and the detection of spots on the human skin. The developed device is highly practical for relatively untrained operators and uses inexpensive consumer equipment, such as a CCD color camera, a light source composed of LEDs and a laptop. The knowledge of the color of the skin and the detection of spots can be useful in several areas such as in dermatology applications, the cosmetics industry, the biometrics field, health care, etc. Methods: In order to perform these measurements the system ...
