Researchers have developed a hybrid deep learning approach to quantify dermal exposure from images, utilizing Mask R-CNN for subject identification and a color-based algorithm for skin segmentation. This method achieved approximately 80% agreement with human estimates when analyzing 170 indoor-painting images. The system offers a scalable solution for extracting semi-quantitative exposure data and has potential for future enhancements like body-part recognition and PPE detection. AI
IMPACT This method could enable more scalable and objective assessment of occupational exposure risks in various industries.
