Problems solved by technology

However, through the comparative study of the existing tongue image acquisition equipment, it is found that there are two very critical problems that need to be solved urgently. First, due to the lack of uniform standards for the imaging environment of tongue image acquisition, including the selection of light source characteristics and the design of imaging optical paths, etc. , leading to color distortion in the collected image, which seriously affects the subsequent further pathological feature extraction and analysis
Second, because the imaging equipment used by each research unit is inconsistent, and most of them use a single-CCD digital camera for imaging, it is impossible to achieve fidelity acquisition of real tongue images, and there will be differences between different equipment for the same pathological feature or even the same The image formed by the tongue body is also different, so it is impossible to realize the shared analysis of the tongue image database, which greatly hinders the development of objectified tongue diagnosis

Embodiment 1

[0020] Example 1: Combining figure 1 , a kind of integrated portable standardized TCM tongue image acquisition device of the present invention, it is by video camera (1), standard imaging light source (2), power supply (3), monitor TV (4), cooling fan (5), simulate darkroom environment Equipment shell (6), computer (7), monitor (8), jaw rest (9), standard color card (10) and nose pad (11), video camera (1), standard imaging light source (2), power supply (3), monitoring TV (4), cooling fan (5), chin support (9) and standard color card (10) are placed inside the device housing (6) simulating the darkroom environment, and the chin support (9) is located at the bottom, The nose rest (11) is located in the middle, the standard color card (10) is located on the upper part of the jaw support (9), the standard imaging light source (2) is arranged between the camera (1) and the standard color card (10), and the cooling fan (5) is placed On the upper part of the casing (6) that simula...

Embodiment 2

[0027] Example 2: Combining figure 1 , figure 2 , Figure 4 , the present invention is an integrated portable standardized TCM tongue image acquisition device, which has the following characteristics:

[0028] 1. Standardized imaging environment, including standard light source and standard observation conditions. Through the analysis of the human visual imaging model, and according to the standard observation environment recommended by the International Standards Association (ISO3664:2000), an imaging environment with high color reproduction characteristics is established, which greatly maintains the original tongue image color information. In the selection of the light source, a fluorescent light source with a color temperature of 5000K and a color rendering index greater than 90 with high color reproduction characteristics is used, and this light source emits light uniformly and stably, which can improve the color stability of the collected images. The imaging optical p...

Embodiment 3

[0033] Example 3: Binding Figure 1-Figure 4, except for the opening on the collection surface and the necessary line interface, the equipment shell of the present invention is completely closed, and the inner surface of the shell is not smooth, and is all painted black, so as to reduce local strong light reflection, absorb stray light, and form A simulated darkroom environment ensures the color quality of image capture. The opening surface is designed to fit the arc of the human face, to minimize the interference of external stray light, and to make the subject feel as comfortable as possible. The jaw rest that can be freely adjusted in height is convenient for people of different levels. A monitoring small TV is installed on the top of the casing, and the video output of the camera can directly enter the picture of the small TV. The subject can see the position of the tongue in the image in real time from the small TV, so as to automatically adjust the position to ensure t...

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to image processing technology, in particular to an integrated and portable standard TCM tongue image acquisition device. (2) Background technology [0002] Traditional Chinese medicine is the crystallization of the practical experience and theories of disease prevention and treatment of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. It has a profound humanistic and philosophical background, and is known as the "quintessence" of the Chinese nation. Today, as human society enters the information age, a large number of high-tech technologies continue to emerge. How to combine the ancient and powerful traditional Chinese medicine with advanced computer technology, and use modern technology to promote the objectification of traditional Chinese medicine is related to Chinese medicine. The development of medicine and its globalization have great strategic significance and background. [0003] Tongue image acquisition is the most basic ...
