A tongue image segmentation method based on single target region segmentation

Abstract

The invention discloses a tongue image segmentation method based on single-target area segmentation. The method comprises the following steps: step 1) obtaining an original image: collecting the original image of a tongue; Step (2), image annotation: carrying out manual annotation on each collected tongue body original image by adopting a super-pixel improved Grabcut algorithm; (3) image production: forming an image pair by the manually labeled image and a corresponding tongue body original image; Step (4) training the neural network: training the single-target semantic segmentation neural network through the images of the training set; And (5) testing the neural network: segmenting the tongue image by using the trained single-target semantic segmentation neural network, and testing the neural network through the test set image. According to the tongue image segmentation method provided by the invention, a single-target area constraint depth network is adopted to label, segment and learn the existing image to generate the mask image, and then the mask image and the original image are synthesized to form the tongue segmentation image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tongue body image segmentation method based on a deep learning method, in particular to a tongue body image segmentation method based on single target area segmentation, and belongs to the field of medical image analysis. Background technique [0002] As the tongue contains a large amount of information about the body constitution, accurate results can only be diagnosed through rich experience of Chinese medicine experts at this stage. In order to assist the diagnosis of diseases and form a comprehensive computer tongue diagnosis system, it is meaningful to obtain accurate and high-precision tongue images. At present, there have been a lot of research work to segment the tongue in facial images. However, due to interferences such as tongue quality and skin color similarity, tongue coating color change, and tongue deformation, the tongue segmentation effect is not good. [0003] Tongue body image segmentation is the sum of to...
