The state-of-the-art wound assessment is manually performed by clinicians. This is ineffective and imprecise. Special devices have been developed for automation, but they are expensive and often lack portability. We present a concept of a low-cost system for wound documentation and analysis. Using computer vision techniques, 3D reconstructions of wounds can be created from images taken with a simple camera, such as those embedded in mobile phones.
