Abstract
The image of spectral absorbance in human
skin is analyzed by independent component
analysis. The spectral absorbance image is
estimated from an image with red, green,
and blue channels. The qualitative information
and spatial distribution of the pigments
can be extracted by the independent component
analysis. It is shown that the extracted
absorption characteristics of the pigments
are corresponding to those of hemoglobin
and melanin.
