Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and in particular relates to an intelligent wound measurement and recording system and method. Background Art
[0002] In clinical medicine, wound assessment and monitoring are crucial for managing treatment outcomes and the healing process. Currently, wound assessment relies primarily on medical staff using specialized paper rulers to take images of wounds and then measure wound parameters. This method suffers from low measurement accuracy and efficiency. Traditional wound measurement typically only provides two-dimensional area, failing to achieve high-precision three-dimensional wound volume assessment. This makes it particularly difficult to track dynamic changes in the wound during healing, especially during real-time.
[0003] With the advancement of medical imaging and computer vision technologies, three-dimensional imaging and image processing technologies have been introduced in an attempt to provide more accurate wound assessment and dynamic monitoring. However, existing wound measurement technologies still face some challenges. Traditional technologies mostly rely on static images, which makes it difficult to capture the three-dimensional changes of wounds and cannot fully assess the depth and volume of wounds, resulting in inaccurate measurement results. Although three-dimensional imaging technology has been applied, existing technologies have not yet been able to achieve accurate real-time monitoring during the wound healing process, especially when faced with cases with more complex wound changes, and still cannot achieve ideal tracking effects. Secondly, although dynamic learning methods based on time series provide new directions for monitoring wound healing, these methods have poor adaptability and cannot effectively handle data differences between different patients and different types of wounds.

[0065] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0066] Example 1:
[0067] See also Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent wound measurement and recording method includes:
[0068] Synchronously collect multi-dimensional image data and three-dimensional depth information of the wound area, and use hierarchical spatial division and nonlinear feature encoding to pre-process the multi-dimensional image data to generate basic wound information;
[0069] The preprocessing steps include:
[0070] A hierarchical regular hexagonal network was used to spatially divide the wound area, where each high-level regular hexagonal unit was divided into seven low-level regular hexagonal and six regular triangle subunits;
[0071] Nonlinear feature coding technology is used to compress and denoise data to obtain compressed multi-dimensional image data; the encoding rules of the nonlinear feature coding technology are based on a multi-parameter combination of wound location, area and healing stage.
[0072] Furthermore, by simultaneously acquiring multi-dimensional image data and three-dimensional depth information, combined with hierarchical spatial partitioning and nonlinear feature coding preprocessing, the accuracy and efficiency of wound assessment were effectively improved. The hierarchical regular hexagonal network optimized the spatial partitioning of the wound area, making the details of each area more precise; while the nonlinear feature coding technology retained important wound information while compressing and denoising the data, ensuring high-quality basic wound data can be obtained even in complex environments, providing strong support for the accurate assessment of wound morphology, area, and healing status.
[0073] A wound measurement model is constructed based on basic wound information to extract wound features with spatiotemporal correlation. An improved U-Net architecture is then combined with the HSV color space and morphological gradient method to extract wound contours from multi-dimensional image data.
[0074] The wound measurement model includes the following structures:
[0075] A temporal convolutional network module with dynamically adjusted dilation factors is introduced to capture the local temporal correlation of wound features through deformable convolution kernels and channel attention modules.
[0076] A bidirectional recurrent neural network module with integrated attention mechanism is used to update the hidden state through a gated adaptive forgetting mechanism to capture the long-range spatiotemporal dependencies in the wound healing process;
[0077] A feature fusion layer based on a dynamic weighted formula, where the weight coefficients are generated by the channel attention module;
[0078] Based on the spatiotemporal correlation of wound features, the multi-dimensional image data is spatiotemporally aligned and feature enhanced to obtain an enhanced multi-dimensional image.
[0079] Convert the enhanced multidimensional image from RGB color space to HSV color space to obtain a multidimensional image with HSV colors;
[0080] Based on the multi-dimensional image of HSV color, the wound candidate area is extracted by HSV color space segmentation according to the hue, saturation and brightness characteristics of the wound area;
[0081] The wound candidate region is optimized by using the morphological gradient method to eliminate noise, fill small holes and smooth the boundaries to obtain the optimized wound candidate region;
[0082] By introducing the attention mechanism and the U-Net architecture with depthwise separable convolution, the optimized wound candidate area is subjected to feature extraction and semantic segmentation, and the wound contour of the wound candidate area is output;
[0083] The wound contour of the wound candidate area is post-processed to output the final wound contour.
[0084] Furthermore, this wound measurement model effectively captures the spatiotemporal correlation of wound features by introducing a time-domain convolutional network with a dynamically adjusted expansion factor, a bidirectional recurrent neural network with an integrated attention mechanism, and a feature fusion layer based on a dynamic weighting formula, thereby improving the accuracy of feature extraction and semantic segmentation during the wound healing process. By optimizing wound candidate regions through HSV color space segmentation and morphological gradient methods, further noise removal and boundary smoothing are achieved, and combined with a deep separable convolutional U-Net architecture, wound contours are accurately extracted. Ultimately, high-precision wound assessment and dynamic tracking are achieved, providing strong support for monitoring and decision-making during wound treatment.
[0085] Based on the wound contour and combined with 3D depth information, the ICP registration algorithm and 3D point cloud reconstruction technology are used to measure the sub-millimeter wound volume, obtain wound volume data, and extract wound volume parameters.
[0086] A coordinate mapping algorithm is used to map each pixel on the wound contour to a corresponding position in three-dimensional space to form preliminary point cloud data of the wound surface;
[0087] Point cloud registration is performed using the ICP algorithm based on preselected matching points, and the registration error threshold is set to 0.1 mm;
[0088] A multi-scale point cloud registration algorithm is introduced to perform multiple point cloud registrations of the wound contour at different scales to obtain the registered wound surface point cloud data.
[0089] The α-shape algorithm is used to perform three-dimensional reconstruction on the registered wound surface point cloud data to generate a triangular mesh model of the wound surface;
[0090] Based on the triangular mesh model, the wound volume was calculated using the volume formula and wound volume-related parameters were extracted.
[0091] Furthermore, by combining wound contour and 3D depth information, the ICP registration algorithm achieves high-precision submillimeter wound volume measurement. A coordinate mapping algorithm maps the wound contour pixels into 3D space, generating preliminary point cloud data. Multi-scale point cloud registration is then employed to reduce registration errors and ensure the accuracy of the point cloud data. The registered point cloud is then reconstructed in 3D using the α-shape algorithm, generating a precise triangular mesh model. Ultimately, wound volume and related parameters are calculated based on this model, providing reliable technical support for accurate wound assessment and monitoring.
[0092] Comprehensive wound basic information, wound characteristics, wound contour and wound volume parameters are used to generate a structured report based on predefined medical standards. The structured report includes wound area, depth, volume, healing stage classification and infection risk index;
[0093] Feed structured reports back to the clinical system and bind them to the patient's biometrics. An incremental learning framework combined with an elastic weight solidification algorithm is used to smooth the impact between new and old data.
[0094] Establish a wound feature evolution map and continuously update the pathological feature database using online learning mechanisms;
[0095] Set the dynamic memory playback buffer. The buffer size is calculated.
[0096] Furthermore, by combining wound measurement and analysis results, a structured report is generated, covering information such as wound area, depth, volume, healing stage, and infection risk, providing accurate clinical assessments. This structured report is fed back to the clinical system in real time and linked to the patient's biometrics. An incremental learning framework and elastic weight consolidation algorithm effectively smooth the impact of new and old data, ensuring data consistency and reliability. Simultaneously, a wound feature evolution map is established, and an online learning mechanism is used to continuously update the pathology feature database, enabling dynamic monitoring and intelligent management. This helps to enhance the personalization of wound treatment and the long-term tracking of wound efficacy.

[0107] Application example of intelligent wound measurement and recording system (diabetic foot ulcer assessment scenario)
[0108] In a hospital's endocrinology ward, a nurse was required to perform weekly assessments of a diabetic patient's foot ulcers. Traditional manual measurement presented challenges such as low efficiency, high infection risk, and an inability to quantify volume changes. This patented system was then used to perform fully automated measurement and dynamic analysis.
[0109] 1. Application Process Description
[0110] (1) Equipment operation: The nurse uses a handheld intelligent measuring instrument (integrated with a high-resolution camera, a 3D depth sensor, and a ring-shaped LED fill light) to scan the wound at a distance of 10 to 15 cm.

[0112] (2) Hierarchical spatial division: The system divides the wound area into multi-level regular hexagonal grids (the minimum unit is 0.5mm 2 ), identifying irregular edge regions.
[0113] Nonlinear feature encoding: Dynamic fusion of wound location (the third metatarsal area of the plantar foot), area (initial 8.7 cm 2 ), exudate color (yellow-green) and other parameters to generate a standardized feature vector.
[0114] Output: 3D point cloud model after denoising (containing 12,800 valid data points).
[0115] (3) HSV color space optimization: The system converts the image into HSV space and preliminarily segments the wound area based on the color difference between necrotic tissue (H = 30°) and healthy skin (H = 15°).
[0116] Morphological gradient processing: Use a 3×3 circular kernel for opening operation to eliminate the interference of foot hair and fill small holes in the leakage area.
[0117] (4) Improved U-Net segmentation: Reduce the computational effort through depthwise separable convolution and achieve sub-pixel edge fitting at the arch bend (error < 0.2 mm).
[0118] (5) ICP registration process: 200 sets of feature points (including vascular bifurcation markers) from this week and last week were matched, and the registration error was 0.08 mm after three scale optimizations.
[0119] Volume calculation: Apply the α-shape algorithm to generate a triangular mesh model (containing 5432 facets), and calculate the current volume to be 4.15cm 3 (A decrease of 9.3% from the previous week).
[0120] Depth monitoring: The maximum depth was detected to decrease from 7.2 mm to 6.5 mm, indicating the growth of granulation tissue.
[0121] 2. Structured Report Content
[0122] parameter Numerical Medical interpretation area <![CDATA[7.8cm 2 ]]> 10.2% smaller than baseline volume <![CDATA[4.15cm 3 ]]> Weekly change rate meets the standard (>5%) Risk of infection Moderate (rating 6.2 / 10) Bacterial culture is recommended Healing stage Granulation stage (grade III) Can transition to restorative dressing
[0123] System linkage: Automatically push warning information to the attending physician's mobile phone APP (triggered when the volume change rate is <3% in the week); historical data comparison chart shows that the area reduction trend within 6 weeks is in line with expectations (R 2 =0.93). The system stores the measurement data in a dynamic memory buffer (retaining the most recent 50 similar cases) and updates the classification model weights using an elastic weight consolidation algorithm. Based on the LSTM model, the volume is expected to drop to 1.2 cm in 6 weeks based on the current trend. 3 (82% confidence level).
