Research on the Analysis Method for Red Tip of Tongue and Tongue Petechia

舌尖红及舌尖瘀点分析是中医舌诊客观化研究的重要内容。在舌尖红分析部分,运用最佳阈值迭代算法使舌质跟舌苔分离,在HSI色彩空间对舌质及舌尖部分进行分析,判断舌尖红。对于舌尖瘀点,在运用数字图像处理技术初步的处理之后,主要通过区域生长方法对其进行研究。该文提出的舌尖红及舌尖瘀点的分析方法,可用于提取舌象特征信息,辅助推断中医证型,实验结果表明有效。

The analysis of red tip of tongue and tongue petechia is significant to the studies on externalization of application of tongue inspection of Traditional Chinese Medicine. On the analysis of the red tip of tongue, the Optimal Threshold Iterated Algorithm is utilized in order to make the tongue coating separate from the tongue texture. It is diagnosed that whether the tip of tongue is red or not after analysing the tongue coating and the tip of tongue in HSI color space. About the tongue petechia, the digital image processing techniques are applied to the preliminary processing of the image. In the following step, the algorithm of Region Growing is adopted. The analysis method for red of tongue and tongue petechia proposed in this paper can be used to extract the feature information of tongue image and assist the diagnosis of TCM syndrome type. Experimental results verified the effectiveness of the presented method.
