基于图像处理的舌诊客观化研究

舌诊,是中医学望诊中的重要内容。通过对舌苔、舌质的观察,从而了解病变的所在,据以辨证论治。近年来,随着生物医学工程、人工神经网络、各种优化算法等的逐步发展和成熟,人工智能技术才开始运用于中医领域,并已涉及到舌体与舌苔的颜色、形质、动态、歪斜、纹理(裂痕、点刺)、厚薄、胖瘦、润燥等所有方面。将中医舌诊和信息技术相融和,运用图像信息处理技术来分析舌像,是保证中医舌诊客观化识别方法不断深入的有力举措,对促进中医舌诊的现代化、规范化,对中医舌诊的继承和创新有着举足轻重的作用。

Tongue inspection is a method of observing the changes of tongue body and tongue coating to analyze disease. It is a main component of observation. Artificial intelligence technology starts with fast development of biomedicine project, artificial NN and various optimized arithmetic and relates to color, shape, the moving state of tongue, deflection, texture （crack and prickle）, thickness, fatness or thinness, flourish or withering, etc. Tongue analysis of TCM merging processed image information promotes its objectification and standardization, which plays an important role for success and innovation on tongue diagnosis of TCM.
