A quantification of skin surface is one of challenging problem which is required in skin health assessment and efficacy evaluation of cosmetic products. Due to limitations of direct visual assessment of skin microscopic topography, an optical dermastocopy is commonly used as skin imaging device to magnify skin topography based on a white light reflection. The limitation of this method is its poor spatial resolution to quantify skin topography. In this paper, a skin imaging based on photometric stereo is proposed to visualize microscopic topography of human skin. The prototype was developed based on modification of illumination source system on the digital microscope. The illumination system consists of 6 and 9 super-bright LED. Additional electronic circuit was integrated with illumination system in order to control LED so that it can light successively. After that, set of images acquired in different angle of illumination was recorded. All images will be reconstructed using software to obtain stereo images, which shows the depth of the surface. Implementation on skin surface profile performed on three test areas: the back of the hand and knuckle creases. Based on qualitative analysis, our proposed scheme of skin imaging based on photometric stereo is promising for surface profile measurement and imaging of the skin.

Accurate information of microscopic topography is very important for efficacy assessment of a surface texture of skin health. Due to the limitations of the direct visual assessment of skin microscopic topography, an optical dermastocopy is very common to be used as skin imaging device to magnify skin topography based on a white light reflection. The limitation of this method is its poor spatial resolution to quantify skin topography. In this work, microscopic skin imaging based on phase shifting method is configured using a DLP pico-projector with LED illumination and a handheld digital microscope. As illuminator for the digital microscope, the DLP projector is programmed to generate patterned light on skin surface. Image processing is required in providing accurate information of surface topography. The first step, a wrapped phase shifting must be extracted from acquired intensity images. The second step is obtaining unwrapped phase image, which is a critical process because it must be recovered from wrapped phase shifting that containednoise. Finally, phase offset due to multiples of 2π during phase unwrapping must be removed. Early experiments on simple object are carried out to test the level of distortion of fringe in several variations of contrast and also to test the performance of the system on several frequency variations. The test results indicate the depth proportion obtained from absolute phase image has the same trend as the proportion of direct measurement. Implementation on the skin surface profile performed on three test areas: the back of the hand and knuckle creases. Based on quantitative and qualitative analysis,our proposed scheme of skin imaging based on phase shifting is promising for surface profile measurement and imaging of the skin.

In the semiconductor industry, a device that can measure the surface-profile of photoresist is needed. Since the photoresist surface is very smooth and deformable, the device is required to measure vertical direction with nanometer resolution and not to damage it at the measurement. We developed the apparatus using multi-cantilever and white light interferometer to measure the surface-profile of thin film. But, this system with scanning method suffers from the presence of moving stage and systematic sensor errors. So, in this paper, an error separation approach used coupled distance sensors, together with an autocollimator as an additional angle measuring device, was consulted the potentiality for self-calibration of multi-cantilever. Then, according to this method, we constructed the experimental apparatus and do the measurement on the resist film. The results demonstrated the feasibility that the constructed multi-ball-cantilever AFM system combined with an autocollimator could measure the thin film with high accuracy.

<p class="Abstract">The relief of form is undoubtedly one of the most topical topics in the field of cultural heritage. Physical access to historic and artistic manufactures can be limited by a lot of factors. For example, the access to the collection of the ancient coins is difficult, especially for students. Indeed, for coins digital archive of high-quality three-dimensional model and remote fruition is of great interest. The use of projected fringes for the measurement of surface profile is a well-developed technique. In this paper, we present a surface profile measurement system for small objects of cultural heritage where it is important not only to detect the shape with good accuracy but also to capture and archive the signs due to ageing. The illustrated equipment is simple, reliable, and cheap. Furthermore, some examples of acquisitions are presented to demonstrate the potentiality of the proposed scheme for recovering 2.5D shape of cultural heritage objects.</p>
