Abstract: Fluorescence from a material sample is excited. The exciting enables capture of fluorescence characteristics of the material sample. The fluorescence characteristics occur along the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) light wavelength spectrum. The exciting is accomplished using at least two different fluorescence excitation wavelengths. The material sample is illuminated with additional light wavelengths. The illuminating enables capture of reflectance characteristics of the material sample. The material sample exhibits reflectance characteristics along the RGB light wavelength spectrum. The illuminating is accomplished using at least three additional light wavelengths. A depth estimation of the material sample is mapped, based on the reflectance characteristics. A material composition is detected, based on analysis of the fluorescence characteristics, the reflectance characteristics, and the depth estimation. The material composition is indicative of a biophysical status of the material sample.

Abstract: Techniques for wound image processing are disclosed. Access to a smartphone that includes an integrated color camera is obtained. An external light source is coupled to the smartphone. The external light source emits at least one light wavelength for illuminating a material sample. The light wavelength excites a fluorescence response from the sample. The fluorescence response comprises wavelengths along the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) light spectrum. The external light source is triggered. An illumination signature of the sample is captured, by the integrated color camera, in response to the external light. An output indicative of biophysical status of the sample is generated. The output is based on analysis of the captured illumination signature. A thermal image of the sample is further captured, using an infrared sensor coupled to the external light source. The output is augmented based on an analysis of the thermal image.
