Smart overview of the Invention

An electronic device is designed to analyze skin using a hyperspectral image sensor. It features a light source that emits light at various angles towards a skin region and a hyperspectral image sensor that captures reflection signals from the skin. These signals are used to create hyperspectral images, which help in measuring changes in reflectance. This data is then processed to generate detailed skin analysis information.

Technical Components

The device includes a light source capable of emitting light at multiple angles and a hyperspectral image sensor for capturing reflection signals. A connected processor generates hyperspectral images from these signals and measures reflectance changes. This process aids in producing skin analysis data, which includes metrics such as skin tissue thickness, melanin concentration, moisture content, and blood parameters.

Operational Method

The device operates by emitting light at different angles onto the skin and capturing the reflected light with the hyperspectral sensor. The processor generates hyperspectral images from these reflections and analyzes reflectance changes to produce skin data. This method supports various techniques such as snapshot and line scanning to acquire reflection signals efficiently.

Applications and Benefits

This technology offers a non-invasive, accurate method for skin analysis, addressing limitations of conventional devices affected by environmental factors. It provides comprehensive data on skin health, which is essential for preventive monitoring. The device can determine skin tissue characteristics and detect potential health issues like tumors.

Additional Features

The device may include a display for outputting skin analysis data. It supports a broad wavelength range from 450 nm to 2500 nm, adaptable for various skin analysis needs. The system's design allows for flexibility in the positioning of the light sources and sensor, enhancing measurement precision across different skin regions.
