中医舌象采集及其数据编码格式的标准化研究和探讨

Research on the Standardization of Data Collection and Transmission of TCM Tongue Images

舌象图片数据采集是中医舌诊客观化研究的基础,舌象图像数据的保存和远距离传输是推动中医大数据发展的有力保障。但是在舌象采集过程中,受到诸如采集设备、光源环境、色彩失真、显示设备畸变等外界因素的影响。因此舌象数据不单单是一张或多张图片,而应包含舌象采集过程中以及图像校对过程中的有关信息。本研究以舌象采集和舌象图像的特点,以及其相关的国际标准,结合生物信息编码规则,制订了用于舌象数据存储和传输的编码协议,该编码规则的制订,不仅可以保障舌象数据本身的安全性和有效性,还能够推进舌象采集设备以及中医远程医疗的国际化进程。

The acquisition of tongue image is the basis for the objective study of TCM tongue diagnosis. The preservation and long-distance transmission of tongue images promote the development of TCM big data. However, in the process of tongue image acquisition, it is affected by external factors such as acquisition equipment, light source environment,color distortion, and distortion of display devices. Therefore, tongue image data is not only one or several images but should contain information related to tongue image acquisition and image proofreading. In this study, a coding protocol is developed for the storage and transmission of tongue image data based on the characteristics of tongue image acquisition,tongue image and its related international standards, combined with the coding rules of biological information.
