Description
Summary:In general, it is very difficult to visually locate blood vessels for intravenous injection or surgery. In addition, if vein detection fails, physical and mental pain occurs to the patient and leads to financial loss in the hospital. In order to prevent this problem, NIR-based vein detection technology is developing. The proposed study combines vein detection and digital hair removal to eliminate body hair, a noise that hinders the accuracy of detection, improving the performance of the entire algorithm by about 10.38% over existing systems. In addition, as a result of performing venous detection of patients without body hair, 5.04% higher performance than the existing system was detected, and the proposed study results were verified. It is expected that the use of devices to which the proposed study is applied will provide more accurate vascular maps in general situations.
