Abstract
The image of spectral absorbance in human skin is analyzed by independent c omponent analysis. The spectral absorbance image is estimated from an image with red, green, and blue channels. The qualitative information and spatia l distribution of the pigments can be extracted by the independent componen t analysis. It is shown that the extracted absorption characteristics of th e pigments are corresponding to those of hemoglobin and melanin.
