General presentations (Poster) and Reception (at the same time)@ 34 Ａ Building 10th Floor, Sky Lounge< Statement of Digital Biocolor Society: Second Stage>Digital Biocolor Society is established in 1999, and the purpose of this Society is topromote the study of digitization, record and reproduction of the colors pertaining toliving systems, to exchange related knowledge among its members and to recommit its
profits to the public. The society provides the planning and negotiation of international
and interdisciplinary collaboration for research, investigation and development from thetwo approaches: elemental technology and medical needs. In particular, the society play
an important rule for research presentations and researchers communications for
accurate color digitalization and record and reproduction for skin and facial images,
endoscopic images for large intestine and liver, and microscopic image for tissue
specimen. Specially, since multispectral imaging is blooming in those years, theresearches in engineering field and medical field deeply discussed about the contributionof multispectral imaging into medical and biomedical fields. After these experiences,each researcher in digital biocolor society works actively in his own society.
Recently, the field of digital biocolor is expected to perform a great contribution on
healthcare and medical applications because of the grow of computational resources andinnovation of high-level signal processing method. For example, it can be introduced
that non-contact vital sensing for heart rate, respiration rate and oxygen saturation aremeasured from color video camera. This techniques is the application of hemoglobin
component extraction from skin color image into skin color video, which was presented
in the community of digital biocolor society. The pulse wave which is key information to
detect the vital information measured from the slight change of hemoglobin component
in the video. Since this is the non-contact measurement, vital information can bemeasured very easily and the measured big data by large scale cohort experiment can beanalyzed by artificial intelligence. This is expected to lead the innovation in the field ofhealthcare and medical applications. As other examples, it is expected to be stronglydeveloped that facial color and appearance reproduction and their diagnosis support
techniques which are becoming important with development of legal system for telemedicine, endoscopic image processing using the special lights, digital dyeing for tissue
specimen. However, since each researcher in these developing fields works only in hisown society, it is not achieved that enough communications in digital biocolor society andsharing results of researches for the common good.
Therefore, as the second stage of digital biocolor society, the 6th Symposium of the'Color' of Digital Imaging in Biomedicine will be organized. In this symposium, it isallowed to present researches that were already presented in another symposium,
conference and so on, if the presentation meets the statement of digital biocolor toexchange related knowledge among its members and to recommit its profits to the public.
The peripheral field is also welcome for the submission into the symposium.
