Multiple-discriminant analysis for light-scattering spectroscopy and imaging of two-layered tissue phantoms

Opt Lett. 2004 May 1;29(9):971-3. doi: 10.1364/ol.29.000971.

Abstract

We propose a new method for enhancing the sensitivity of the reflectance spectrum to the scattering feature of the superficial tissue layer. This method is based on multiple-discriminant analysis in the eigensubspace of the spectrum. Considering the application of scattering imaging, we evaluated this method by performing multispectral imaging of two-layered tissue phantoms. A color map converted from the spectral reflectance corresponds well to variations in the size of the scattering in the first layer.
