Sunlight exposure, hormones, skin damage, and exposure to certain chemicals affect melanin production and brown spots or discoloration may appear with age.
Using its patented lighting and a color calibration process, the C-Cube converts image pixels into CIE L*a*b* measurements. They are correlated with spectrocolorimeters (R²=0.97). The pigmentation index is correlated with melanin content of the skin and represents the distance to a reference dark skin which maximizes melanin content.
The calculation is done for each pixel and the result is displayed using a color map. Using ROI, the average, minimum and maximum values are processed and saved.
