Investigation of human hand skin features by polarized light imaging [İnsan el derisi özelliklerinin kutuplamali işik görüntülemesi ile i?ncelenmesi]

Abstract

In this study, the texture of skin on the back of the hand was investigated for men and women of different ages. The images obtained from superficially back scattered light at the parallel and perpendicular position of the analyzer for different wavelengths, were processed and quantitatively analyzed. At the end of the analysis, we observed that the skin textures have many different segments and the size and number of segments change with ages. Finally, we can say that the hand skin texture becomes less complex with age. ©2010 IEEE.
