Similarity in skin reflectance spectra with different combination of absorption and scattering conditions makes erroneous estimation of parameters for any measured spectrum through the database containing simulated spectra. In this study, such similar reflectance spectra are investigated by Monte Carlo simulation and phantom experiment.
Spectral reflectance in human skin tissue has been studied through Monte Carlo simulation using the Nine-layered skin tissue model. It is important to estimate absorption and scattering parameters of human skin tissue to know the condition of human skin. In this study, we investigated a method for estimating the absorption and scattering parameters by considering the effect of specific layers on the spectral band in the spectral reflectance database of human skin generated by Monte Carlo simulation.
Skin spectral reflectance can be used for estimate optical properties of human skin tissue, but there is a potential problem. We investigated skin conditions producing similar reflectance spectra but different point spread functions of reflected intensity on the skin surface in the framework of Monte Carlo simulation.
