Study on the Objectivity of Traditional Chinese Medicinal Tongue Inspection

千百年来,中医舌诊只能凭医生肉眼观察,靠经验辨证,这不仅影响中医的继承,而且影响中医的提高和发展,因此迫切需要实现中医舌诊的标准化、客观化。随着中医现代化研究的进一步开展,以现代科学技术手段研究舌诊,使其定量化、客观化、标准化,已成为舌诊研究的主要方向。本研究以舌诊的计算机自动识别过程为主线,对舌诊客观化中涉及的舌象采集、舌象分割及舌象特征分析等技术进行了探讨。

The traditional Chinese medicinal （TCM） inspection on tongue features are always observed with naked eye, and the syndrome is differentiated depended only on experience. These disadvantages cannot but badly impact not only the inheritance but also the advance and development of TCM. Hence, to bring out the standardization and objectivity of TCM tongue inspection is a task urgently expected. Along with the advancing of modernized TCM research, to study the tongue feature with modern scientific and technologic approaches for making it more quantitative, objective and standardized becomes the main research orientations of tongue inspection. Taking computerized automatic reorganization of tongue feature as a main clue, the techniques involving collection, resolution and signature analysis of tongue feature were discussed in this paper.
