Abstract
In the medical imaging field, skin responses
against various stresses give us significant
information for monitoring human conditions.
In this research, we have developed a real-time
video signal processing system which can
estimate and display the mapping of pigmentation
in human skin. The maps of melanin, oxy-hemoglobin
and deoxy-hemoglobin densities in skin are
converted from RGB image using three pre-computed
color conversion look up tables. This system
is applied to observe the changes in pigmentation
during the occlusion and release of human
middle finger and also during anaerobic exercise.
It became possible to watch the human homeostasis
by disturbance in real-time with the developed
system.
