Hyperspectral imaging with deep learning for quantification of tissue hemoglobin, melanin, and scattering

Hyperspectral cameras capture spectral information at each pixel in an image. Acquired spectra can be analyzed to estimate quantities of absorbing and scattering components, but the use of traditional fitting algorithms over megapixel images can be computationally intensive. Deep learning algorithms can be trained to rapidly analyze spectral data and can potentially process hyperspectral camera data in real time.
