Skin diagnostics using optical signatures

A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium for skin diagnostics, the computer program product comprising code which causes one or more processors to perform operations of:

• scanning a plurality of optical excitation light wavelength bands on a material sample, wherein the material sample exhibits optical spectral characteristics along the light wavelength spectrum;
• capturing excitation response wavelengths emitted by the material sample in response to the plurality of optical excitation light wavelength bands, wherein the capturing is accomplished using an imaging sensor;
• measuring output values of a plurality of pixels of an image from the imaging sensor, wherein the image represents excitation response wavelengths captured by the imaging sensor, wherein the measuring detects optical spectral characteristics of the material sample, and wherein the optical spectral characteristics are in response to the plurality of optical excitation light wavelength bands;
• and
• generating an output signature indicative of composition of the material sample, wherein the output signature is based on interpreting the output values that were measured.

A computer system for skin diagnostics comprising:

• a memory which stores instructions;
• one or more processors coupled to the memory wherein the one or more processors, when executing the instructions which are stored, are configured to:
• scan a plurality of optical excitation light wavelength bands on a material sample, wherein the material sample exhibits optical spectral characteristics along the light wavelength spectrum;
• capture excitation response wavelengths emitted by the material sample in response to the plurality of optical excitation light wavelength bands, wherein the capturing is accomplished using an imaging sensor;
• measure output values of a plurality of pixels of an image from the imaging sensor, wherein the image represents excitation response wavelengths captured by the imaging sensor, wherein the measuring detects optical spectral characteristics of the material sample, and wherein the optical spectral characteristics are in response to the plurality of optical excitation light wavelength bands;
• and
• generate an output signature indicative of composition of the material sample, wherein the output signature is based on interpreting the output values that were measured.
