Balat : Skin Analyzer with OTG Camera Support

Introduction :

As the world advances, the more the industry pollutes the world. As the pollution of everything can damage our body, people do wonder if they dirt and dust in their skin. Imagine, what it would be like to see the condition of the skin of a human through a microscopic level. At the present existing technologies, people have already skin analyzers in a tool. In this tool you can analyze the moisture levels, elasticity and pore sizes. But this applications doesn’t really help the people see the dirt and muck that is sitting in our skin. As well as the skin diseases that are becoming prominent in our today’s society, some of us with a more wide percentage of men does not really take care of their skin. As a result, their skin diseases or problems will be much more worse without proper cleaning. The skin analyzing applications uses a tool with a camera to analyze the skin of the user. The result of skin conditions is the only one it shows.As for the current technology today, there is no real time skin problem analyzer available with that he researchers withheld the idea onwards. Applying the real time detection and skin analyzing can give a much better calibration and accuracy on the analyzation part. On this research, the researchers found that the most applicable and portable tool for this kind of research is the Portable Digital Microscope Device. This device is a small USB peripheral device which is designed to be place on a pedestal which can be connected on a physical desktop or laptop. Aside from that, the Digital Microscope only see the parts of the surface that is directly in the path of the microscope that’s why it is more applicable for the researchers to use.

Background of the Study :

Skin problems was now notable to our society due to ever changing industrial pollution. Since you look at yourself every day, subtle changes in your skin's texture and appearance can be hard to detect. Dermatologists often use machines to know the problems of the skin. As the skin is the largest organ of our body many problems will surface as humans get older. Skin problems will be now prominent as the environment is now very polluted resulting to global warming.

The purpose of this study is to distinguish the problems of our skin to its moisture, elasticity, pore sizes and tone. With this study, the users can now easily know the problems of the skin without using different machines. The Objectives of the study is to distinguish the problems of the skin without using any machineries. This research uses Digital microscope to zoom a particular part of our skin to easily determine the skin problems such as skin allergies, dark spots, acne and oiliness or dryness of the skin. The app can also determine the percentage of the skin pores, fine lines and moisture of the skin. This study is for the people who want to know the status and the specific problems of their skin. So, they can come up a solution to deal with the perceived problem.
