US 2016/0078622 A1 · METHOD AND WEARABLE APPARATUS FOR DISEASE DIAGNOSIS

Abstract

A method and a wearable apparatus for disease diagnosis are provided. The method is applied to the wearable apparatus with an image capturing unit and a display unit. In this method, a plurality of input images in a field of view of the wearable apparatus are captured by using the image capturing unit, wherein each of the input images contains an array of pixels. The variations of the pixel values in a time domain are analyzed. The pixel variations within a specific frequency range are magnified and the magnified pixel variations are added onto the original ones to generate an output image. The output image is overlapped with a current image in the field of view of the wearable apparatus and displayed on the display unit.
