Detecting early stage pressure ulcer on dark skin using multispectral imager

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel idea, innovative technology in building multi spectral imaging based device. The benefit from them is people can have low cost, handheld and standing alone device which makes acquire multi spectral images real time with just a snapshot. The paper for the first time publishes some images got from such prototyped miniaturized multi spectral imager. © 2009 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.
