Patent
Systems and methods for hyperspectral medical imaging
TL;DR: In this paper, a hyperspectral image of the skin of a subject is obtained by using a light source that illuminates the skin for the hypersensor, and executable instructions are given for applying a wavelength dependent spectral calibration standard constructed for the HSI to a HSI image collected by the sensor.
