Multimedia method of human skin pigmentation measurement

An objective method of measurement of a human skin pigmentation based on different reflections of visual light is proposed. The white light source lights up å segment of a skin that reflects specific vawes spectrum. It is possible to measure this normally by using spectroscoping methods I1l. In our method the Panasonic handy camcorder A3 was used for recording a selected segrnent of the skin together with a calibrating colour bar situated in the field of vision. Grabbing hardware and software allow to change a video form to image computer file. The all three basic & G, B component each of 256 levels using eye-dropper option were analysed. The average values of each RGB in comparison to RGB skin patterns were calculated.
