This thesis presents a process to create 3D thermal models from multi view images captured with low cost devices, a smartphone and low cost thermal camera. 3D thermal models contribute to a data-driven assessment of chronic wounds and improve the limitations of manual measurements and subjective visual observation. Leveraging color and thermal imaging, realistic 3D thermal models are created from a limited set of images, demonstrating their effectiveness in wound assessment in a clinical study, emphasizing portability and low-cost applicability.

Wound area segmentation really progressed with the emergence of deep learning, due to its robustness in uncontrolled lighting and no …

In this study, we propose the use of commercial devices, such as mobile devices and portable thermography, to integrate information from different wavelengths onto the surface of a 3D model. Thermal and color 3D models were successfully created for six patients with multiple views from a low-cost commercial device.

A methodology is proposed for multimodal wound monitoring in the hospital environment with a simple hand-held shooting protocol. The methodology we present is able to generate color and thermal 3D models by using portable devices; and was used efficiently with 5 patients on wounds of various sizes and types.

The use of low-cost cameras for medical applications has its advantages as it enables affordable and remote evaluations of health …
