A Picture Says Thousands of Words - Harnessing Dermal Exposure Data from Images through Hybrid Deep Learning for Enhanced Safety Assessment

A hybrid deep learning method developed by researchers uses Mask R-CNN and a color-based algorithm to quantify exposed skin from images for dermal exposure assessment. Testing on 170 indoor-painting images, the approach achieved approximately 80% agreement with human estimates of exposed-skin-to-body pixel ratios. The method offers a scalable way to extract semi-quantitative exposure information from images, with planned extensions to body-part recognition, PPE detection, and video-based analysis.

Abstract:This study developed a hybrid computer vision method to quantify exposed skin from images for dermal exposure assessment. Using 170 indoor-painting images, Mask R-CNN first identified human subjects and removed background interference; a color-based algorithm then segmented exposed skin. The resulting exposed-skin-to-body pixel ratios showed approximately 80% agreement with human estimates. The approach demonstrates a scalable way to extract semi-quantitative exposure information from images, with future extensions to body-part recognition, PPE detection, and video-based exposure analysis.
