Reliability analysis of a novel measurement system for quantifying human skin color.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Precision is crucial in determining the appropriate procedure for implementing further trials. We conducted a study to explore the reliability of a novel measuring system for human skin color.

Methods

The novel skin color measuring system was used to capture the skin color of four volunteers (2 males and 2 females) from the same location on each subject by the same operator. The measurement was repeated for different poses and instrument factors (camera and shooting protocol) in the red, green, and blue (RGB) system. The average color depth in each image was calculated and converted from 0 to 255. The spread of measures and the Bland-Altman plot was displayed to determine each variance source's random error, with the interclass correlation coefficients applied to
