Claim:
1. A computer implemented method, performed by a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the method comprising: acquiring a hyperspectral imaging data set from a region of interest of a human subject using a hyperspectral imager; and applying the hyperspectral imaging data set against a classifier comprising a two layered media model, the two layered media model comprising a first layer of a modeled human tissue overlying a second layer of the modeled human tissue, wherein the two layered media model has been trained by application of simulated data across a set of optical and geometric properties associated with the presence or the absence of a skin indication, wherein the two layered media model computes tissue reflectance R from the modeled human tissue by the relationship: wherein, L {tilde over (ω)} {tilde over (ω)} exp is the exponential function, and P(i,j|L
