Imaging Through Scattering Tissue Based on NIR Multispectral Image Fusion Technique

Non-invasive diagnostics play a crucial role in medicine, and they ensure both contamination safety and patient comfort. The proposed study integrates hyperspectral imaging with advanced image fusion, enabling non-invasive, diagnostic procedure within tissue. It utilizes near-infrared (NIR) wavelength vision that is suitable for reflections from objects within a dispersive layer, enabling the reconstruction of internal tissue layers images. It can detect objects, including cancerous tumors (presented as phantoms), inside human tissue. This involves processing data from multiple images taken in different NIR bands and merging them through image fusion techniques. Our research demonstrates evident data about objects within the diffusive media, visible only in the reconstructed images. The experimental results demonstrate a significant correlation with the samples employed in the study’s experimental design.
