<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a body surface evaluation method capable of acquiring hemoglobin images that has high contrast and excellently reflects the distribution and state of microvessels. <P>SOLUTION: An enlarged skin internal reflected light image RG is acquired from upper dermis CL in which the microvessels MC are distributed, and independent component analysis of the acquired skin internal reflected light image RG is executed to extract hemoglobin images HG and HG'. At least one of the skin internal reflected light image RG, to which the independent component analysis is to be executed, and the extracted hemoglobin image HG is level-corrected, and at least one of the distribution and state of the microvessels MC is evaluated from the level-corrected hemoglobin images HG' and HG". <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
