Embodiment Construction

[0037] The input image in this embodiment is a digitized human body back image captured by a Canon digital camera in a fixed treatment room, and the image is transmitted to a computer, where the computer performs skin color segmentation, edge extraction, finds the spine line and rotates the image, and Match with the back template image, and finally realize the automatic positioning of the main acupuncture points on the back of the human body. The main acupoints include Dazhui, Feishu, Xinshu, Geshu, Ganshu and Shenshu. Since the main acupoints are based on the spine line, that is, the Governor Vessel, and the position of the back is required to be horizontal, the position of the spine line must be obtained first. The back of the human body is symmetrical, and the spine line can be determined by the sideline of the back of the human body. When the position of the spine line is determined, rotate the image to make the back level, and finally obtain the specific position of each...

Abstract

The invention mainly relates to a method for automatically detecting acupuncture points on the back of a human body by an image processing technology mainly, so that the current situation that doctors artificially and subjectively determine acupuncture points is improved, the efficiency of detecting the acupuncture points is improved, unnecessary manpower is reduced, the foundation for automatic diagnosis and classification systems of diseases and human health automatic analysis systems are laid, and necessary technical support is provided. The method comprises the following steps of calculating YCbCr value of an input image; performing skin color segmentation by an elliptical model to acquire a human body back figure; acquiring the upper edge curve and the lower edge curve of the human body back by using a Canny edge detection algorithm and seeking white points from inside to outside; calculating a midpoint to fit a straight line so as to acquire a human body spine line; rotating the image to acquire a target image; performing grayscale standardization on a sample image; summating and averaging to acquire a template image; matching the target image with the template image; and determining the positions of the acupuncture points of the target image through the positions of the acupuncture points in the template image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical image processing, and is a method for automatically locating and extracting acupoints on the back of a human body by using computer technology, image capture technology, digital image processing technology, and image matching technology. This process is to automatically analyze the input image of the back of the human body, and finally determine the specific positions of the main acupuncture points on the back of the human body. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, the determination of acupoints in the human body depends on the doctor's own judgment. This kind of judgment has a certain degree of subjectivity and ambiguity, and the specific location of the acupoints is closely related to the doctor's experience. Especially now with the rapid development of image processing technology, the traditional subjective acupoint judgment formula can no longer meet the needs of the development of modern Chinese med...
