基于皮肤图像年龄评估系统的设计

Design of age evaluating system based on skin image

背景:普通的TW3骨龄检测年龄鉴定方法无法适用于成人年龄检测,而其他年龄检测方法一般需要大型医疗设备,操作流程复杂,检测成本高,或者需要提取组织器官等有损伤的解剖操作。目的:以"皮肤表面纹理中隐藏年龄信息"的事实出发,设计一种新的法医年龄检测方法-皮肤年龄检测方法。方法:采用医学图像处理技术,提取皮肤表面形态特征参数,从而分析这些特征参数与年龄之间的关系。结果与结论:采用该设计方法建立的基于皮肤图像的法医学年龄评估系统从理论上能检测成年人的年龄,摆脱了传统单一运用骨骼检测年龄的习惯,运用身体另一组织(皮肤)检测年龄,解决了常规手腕骨X射线TW3法测骨龄无法适用于成年人的问题,扩大了年龄检测范围。

BACKGROUND：TW3 method cannot be applied for age determination of adults.While the other reported age evaluating methods usually require expensive medical equipments and the processing of these methods is complex,even involving extraction of tissues and organs.OBJECTIVE：Based on the fact that skin texture implies age information,to develop a new method to evaluate adult age by human skin image.METHODS：Some advanced medical image processing technologies were used in the age evaluating system based on human skin image to extract quantization parameters.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION：The age evaluating system based on human skin images can evaluate adult age,which does not detect the age using skeleton in conventional TW3 age evaluating system（for children） but using skin.Therefore,this system has a wide range age spectrum.
