Perpetual bioinformatics and virtual colorimeter expert system
A perpetual bioinformatics and virtual colorimeter expert system platform is disclosed to remotely measure dermal and epidermal properties with precision and to enhance decision-making. Some embodiments of the system provide for virtual tristimulus colorimetry, wherein a capture device captures one or more dermal images of one or more skin area of a user. A color grid includes one or more permutations of a plurality of recorded predetermined colors. A scale of the color grid is recorded as being printed or projected at a predetermined size. Application of the virtual tristimulus colorimeter to one of the images is performed. As a result of this application the image is calibrated according to the virtual tristimulus colorimeter. In some embodiments the capture device may include a smartphone camera, interactive with the virtual tristimulus colorimeter smartphone application.
