81. A method for generating a dermal spectral signature, the method comprising:
-
convoluting data from a first image captured in incident diffuse white light, wherein the data relate to reflected and/or re-emitted polarized or white light and a second image captured in incident polarized light, wherein the data relate to a reflected and/or re-emitted polarized light to obtain a dermal spectral signature; identifying the minimum and maximum intensity positions of the dermal spectral signature, wherein identifying comprises comparing a dermal spectral signature component (R-B)(W-P) with a component (R-B)W for the incident white light spectral signature; and determining a distance between the minimum and the maximum intensity positions in the components (R-B)(W-P) and (R-B)W for generating a numerical skin state output. - View Dependent Claims (82, 83, 84, 86, 87, 88)

125. A machine readable medium, the machine readable medium having program instructions stored thereon executable by a processing unit, the program instructions comprising the steps of:
-
capturing an image of a material illuminated with incident non-angled white light and an image of a material illuminated with incident angled white light; generating a normalized red color channel histogram and a normalized blue color channel histogram for a reflected and/or emitted light in each image; correlating the normalized red color channel histograms and normalized blue color channel histograms to a wavelength scale to obtain a red color channel spectral plot for each red color channel histogram and a blue color channel spectral plot for each blue color channel histogram; and convoluting the red color channel spectral plots and blue color channel spectral plots by; a) subtracting the red color channel spectral plot for angled light from the red color channel spectral plot for non-angled light to generate a red normalized, composite color channel spectral plot of a specific wavelength scale; b) subtracting the blue color channel spectral plot for angled light from the blue color channel spectral plot for non-angled light to generate a blue normalized, composite color channel spectral plot of a specific wavelength scale; and c) subtracting the normalized, composite blue channel spectral plot from the normalized, composite red channel spectral plot to generate a spectral signature for the material. - View Dependent Claims (126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148)
