Abstract 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 the experiments to show the effectiveness of the proposed system, time dependent changes of pigmentation map in human hand are observed during the occlusion and release of middle finger, also during anaerobic by squat exercise. From the results of the experiments, human homeostasis for disturbance can be observed in real time. Introduction Mapping pigmentations such as oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin in human skin is expected to give us helpful information about human condition and emotion. The obtained information will be used for skin diagnosis, skin color reproduction, measurement of human emotion[1, 2]. We have already proposed the technique to extract qualitative information and spatial distribution of pigmentations from multi-channel visible spectral image[3, 4, 5] by inverse optical scattering technique[1]. The Monte Carlo simulation of photon migration is used as forward model of optical scattering, nd the forward model isa iterated to perform the inverse optical scattering technique based on non-linear optimization method. This technique needs a long time to complete the process. However, a real-time processing is required in measuring changes of human condition and emotion. In this research, we introduce the technique of real-time mapping pigmentation in human skin by using three pre-computed look up tables for color conversions. The first table converts RGB values from digital video camera into three scores for three principal components. Wiener estimation is used to make the table between the RGB values and spectral reflectance which is analyzed into the three scores based on the pre-computed principal components. The second table converts the scores into pigmentation values by using inverse optical scattering technique. Since the values of scores effectively reflect the spectral variation of reflectance spectra, the second table is considered very effective to estimate the pigmentation values. It isnoted this conversion from scores to pigmentations is originally proposed in this research. The third table converts the pigmentation values into RGB values to display on a monitor. The first and third tables are dependent on devices and environment, and he second ttable is independent. It is noted that the total process is constructed from the three tables to separate the device independent process and devices dependent process, because making the second tables takes about 10 days by Monte Carlo simulation of human skin model[6, 7, 8, 9] and so on. Two experiments are performed to show the effectiveness of our system with time dependent changes of pigmentation map in human hand. Pigmentations are observed during putting hand up and down, occlusion and release of middle finger, and anaerobic by squat exercise.
