PHOTOMETRIC STEREO IMAGING USING A SMART PHONE

该项目提供了一种低成本的光度立体照明设备和相关软件，使智能手机能够捕获和处理图像，揭示表面的高分辨率3D图像。这些图像可以传输到远程位置进行专家分析。表面重建的方法受斯特拉斯克莱德大学光子学研究所的专利保护。光度立体图像通过远程医疗帮助诊断皮肤病。同样的3D技术也用于无损检测、安全和测量应用。该设备的简单性和低成本确保了它们可以在必要时随时分发。该项目还包括通过机器学习应用归档、显示和处理图像的设施。照明设备和相关软件将于2021年第二季度向公众提供。其他信息：扩展范围包括以注册设计和专利申请的形式保护项目期间产生的知识产权的过程。在用户和市场审查之后，将修改初始设计，并准备工具和制造所需的文件。正式的性能测试，安全评估和现场试验将用于创建CE认证所需的所有信息，并准备将产品注册为1类医疗器械。

The project provides a low cost photometric stereo illumination device and associated software that enables a smart phone to capture and process images revealing a high resolution 3D image of a surface. The images can be transmitted to a remote location for expert analysis. The method of surface reconstruction is protected by patents held by the University of Strathclyde Institute of Photonics.The photometric stereo images aid diagnosis of dermatological conditions by means of tele-medicine. The same 3D technique is also used in non-destructive testing, security and surveying applications.The simplicity and low cost of the device ensures that they may be readily distributed whenever necessary.The project also includes facilities for archiving, displaying and processing images through the application of Machine Learning.The illumination device and associated software will be available to the public by Q2 2021\.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:The extension scope includes the process of securing IPR generated during the project, in the form of registered designs and patent applications.Following user and market review, the initial design will be revised, and the documentation required for tooling and manufacture will be prepared.Formalised performance testing, safety assessment and field trials will be used to create all information needed for CE certification and preparation to register product as a Class 1 medical device.
