Introducing Low-Cost Stereo Imaging for Cutaneous Wound Assessment
Ekaterina Sirazitdinova, Thomas Martin Deserno · 2016
Nowadays the measurements of chronic wounds are mostly performed manually by clinicians, despite on high limitations of such method. Modern technologies make it possible to do accurate wound assessment. However, due to high costs and limited availability of special equipment, such methods are not widely used. Here, we present a concept of a low-cost wound assessment system, which, with a help of computer vision techniques, will create dense 3D reconstructions of wounds from images taken with a hand-held camera. Our system will also provide wound segmentation and will allow wound tracking over time. Additional color correction will be applied to support qualitative analysis of wounds.
