2. What is it? Physiological Optical Image Processing:  A non-contact imaging processor  Uses IR-light emitting LED waves

3. Project's Goal The Physiological Optical Imaging lab at Northeastern University has been developing technology to provide clinicians with non-invasive imaging technology for use with burn injuries.

4. Experimental Data (a) Pre-Injury (b) Post-Injury (c) 1st Excision (d) 2nd Excision (e) 3rd Excision (a)(b)(c) (d)(e)

5. YSP’s Goal Our assignmnet involved helping the lab with the data classification process. We: Created an algorithm to help classify the data into three categories: 1.Healthy 2.Burned 3.Excised Tissue Compiled the classified data

6. Method

7. Programming The program depicts different tissue areas. It: 1.Manually identifies the burn and excisions for each case 2.Plots the points 3.Creates the matrix

8. Point Selection 4 points for the outer square 4 points for the inner square (add offset for the edges) 2 points for the circle (add offset for the 2 circles)

9. Results 5 out of 120

10. Real image (a) Pre-Injury (b) Post-Injury (c) 1st Excision (d) 2nd Excision (e) 3rd Excision (a)(b)(c) (d)(e)

11. Disregard Healthy Disregard Excised Disregard Burned Matrices (a) Pre-Injury (b) Post-Injury (c) 1st Excision (d) 2nd Excision (e) 3rd Excision (a)(b)(c) (d)(e)

12. Results (a) Pre-Injury (b) Post-Injury (c) 1st Excision (d) 2nd Excision (e) 3rd Excision (a)(b)(c) (d)(e)

13. Future Plans ➔ Perfect the algorithm to be used for automatic classification of skin types ➔ Burn progression Other Applications ➔ Stress/Arousal level ➔ Cardiovascular system test
