Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plantar screening, and in particular to a plantar health screening method and screening system. Background Art

[0002] Plantar pressure screening technology collects and analyzes plantar pressure distribution data, combining algorithmic models with biomechanical principles to intelligently identify arch types (such as normal arches, high arches, and flat feet) and potential problems. Plantar pressure screening technology typically uses pressure distribution measurement systems (such as pressure plates and pressure insoles) to collect plantar pressure data. These devices use high-precision sensors to record the pressure distribution of various areas of the foot in real time while standing, walking, or exercising.

[0003] Existing arch analysis methods have major accuracy issues. The reason is that the center of gravity of the human body is constantly changing when standing, and it is easy to unconsciously change the pressure distribution of the two feet when standing, resulting in inaccurate pressure distribution data collected and errors in judging the arch of the foot. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the above problems, the present invention aims to solve the above problems. One purpose of the present invention is to provide a plantar health screening method to solve the above problems, using image fitting technology to fit the collected plantar image with the pressure image and analyze the arch condition.

[0005] The solution adopted in this embodiment is: a foot health screening method, comprising the following steps: Step S01: first standing on an optical foot mirror, distinguishing the contact area and non-contact area of ​​the foot sole with the transparent glass surface, that is, using the optical foot mirror to obtain a foot print image, and collecting the foot print image through a camera and uploading it to the cloud; Step S02: performing image processing on the collected image to segment the entire sole area and obtain a sole processing image; Step S03: annotating the sole processed image, marking the contact points between the sole of the foot and the transparent glass surface separately, and obtaining a sole marked image; Step S04: Stand on the plantar pressure detection board again, obtain the plantar pressure distribution map, and upload the plantar pressure distribution map to the cloud; Step S05: performing image alignment between the plantar marking image and the plantar pressure distribution map, and adjusting the plantar pressure distribution map based on the plantar processing image; Step S06: Calculate and obtain arch data based on the aligned plantar image.

[0006] Specifically, in step S01, a transparent standing board for standing is provided on the top of the optical pedoscope, and a purple light fill light is provided below the transparent standing board to illuminate the transparent standing board to highlight the contact area between the sole of the foot and the transparent glass surface. A camera is provided below the transparent standing board to collect images of the sole of the foot upwards.

[0007] Regarding the specific steps of image processing, step S021: grayscale processing is performed on the collected plantar imprint image to convert the color image into a grayscale image; Step S022: performing edge detection on the grayscale image to extract the sole contour; Step S023: Based on the edge detection results, optimize the plantar area segmentation through morphological operations; Step S024: remove image noise to obtain a complete processed image of the sole of the foot.

[0008] Regarding the marking method, the marking method in step S03 includes the following sub-steps: Step S031: according to the transparent glass surface characteristics of the optical pedoscope, the grayscale difference between the contact part and the non-contact part is used as a labeling basis; Step S032: Automatically identify contact parts through threshold segmentation or machine learning algorithm U-Net neural network; Step S033: Binarize and mark the identified contact parts to generate a contact area mask map.

[0009] During the image alignment process, the image alignment method in step S05 includes the following sub-steps: Step S051: Based on the edge features of the plantar processing image and the plantar pressure distribution image, a feature point matching algorithm SIFT is used to perform preliminary alignment; Step S052: Based on the processed plantar image, the spatial position of the plantar pressure distribution map is adjusted by affine transformation or perspective transformation; Step S053: Perform pixel-level registration on the overlapping area to ensure accurate correspondence between the contact position and the pressure distribution area.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S053, when the edge area of ​​the plantar pressure distribution map is smaller than the plantar marking map during alignment, a compensation algorithm is used for balancing, and a compensation coefficient is calculated based on the area relationship between the weight data and the plantar marking map. The edge of the plantar marking map is reduced according to the compensation coefficient, and the edge of the plantar pressure distribution map is expanded according to the compensation coefficient, so that the edges of the plantar marking map and the plantar pressure distribution map overlap.

[0011] More specifically, in step S053, when the edge of the plantar pressure distribution diagram is expanded, the edge pressure data adopts the average value of the expanded position and gradually decreases at a certain ratio along the expansion direction.

[0012] Regarding the calculation of the arch data, the arch data calculation method in step S06 includes the following sub-steps: step S061: extracting the pressure distribution characteristics of the arch area based on the aligned image, including the peak pressure, pressure area and pressure center trajectory; Step S062: Calculate the arch index (AI), using the formula: AI = midfoot pressure area / whole foot pressure area; Step S063: Combined with the center of pressure (COP) offset, comprehensively determine the arch type.

[0013] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps: Step S07: Compare the arch data with a preset arch type threshold to generate a plantar health assessment report; Step S08: Based on the evaluation results, personalized foot care suggestions are pushed to the user through the cloud platform, including orthotic insole recommendations or rehabilitation training plans.

This effectively avoids inaccurate pressure plate detection data, which leads to misjudgment of the arch of the foot, and introduces the plantar imprint image to correct the data, making the detected arch data more accurate.

[0017] Further characteristic features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any way.

[0019] The plantar health screening method is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. Example

[0020] The present invention provides a plantar health screening method, comprising the following steps: Step S01: first stand on an optical plantar mirror to distinguish the contact area and non-contact area of ​​the sole of the foot with a transparent glass surface, that is, use the optical plantar mirror to obtain a plantar imprint image, and collect the plantar imprint image through a camera and upload it to the cloud; specifically, a transparent standing board for standing is provided on the top of the optical plantar mirror, and a purple light fill light is provided below the transparent standing board to illuminate the transparent standing board to highlight the contact area of ​​the sole of the foot with the transparent glass surface, and the camera is provided below the transparent standing board to collect images of the sole of the foot upwards. In this step, the optical plantar mirror uses the principle of non-contact imaging. The transparent standing board is made of high-transmittance tempered glass (transmittance ≥ 92%) and is coated with an anti-fog coating to eliminate water vapor interference. The purple light fill light is an LED array with a wavelength of 365nm, which forms a uniform surface light source through a diffuse reflection plate to ensure a grayscale contrast of ≥80:1 between the contact area and the non-contact area. The camera uses an industrial-grade CMOS sensor (resolution ≥4096×2160 pixels, frame rate ≥30fps), equipped with a wide-angle lens (FOV 120°) and a distortion correction algorithm to eliminate optical distortion. Data transmission is encrypted using the HTTPS protocol to a medical-grade cloud storage platform that complies with GDPR standards. By adopting high-transmittance tempered glass (transmittance ≥ 92%) and anti-fog coating design, the impact of ambient light interference and water vapor condensation on imaging is effectively eliminated, ensuring that the grayscale contrast between the contact area and non-contact area of ​​the sole of the foot is ≥ 80:1, providing high signal-to-noise ratio raw data for subsequent image processing; the purple LED array (365nm wavelength) combined with the diffuse reflection plate forms a uniform surface light source, which can suppress the reflection of oil on the skin surface and highlight the bone contours and soft tissue contact marks of the sole of the foot; the combination of an industrial-grade CMOS sensor (4096×2160 pixels) and a wide-angle lens (FOV 120°) ensures full coverage of the sole of the foot while controlling the lens distortion rate below 0.5% through a distortion correction algorithm to avoid distortion of the foot's geometric morphology.

[0021] Step S02: Process the captured image to segment the entire plantar area and obtain a plantar processing map. The image processing process is executed on a local device equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier edge computing module, with a processing latency of ≤500ms. Specifically, it includes: Step S021: Grayscale the captured plantar impression image to convert the color image into a grayscale image; linearly convert RGB to grayscale values ​​using the ITU-R BT.601 standard brightness formula Y=0.299R+0.587G+0.114B to preserve the topological characteristics of the plantar contact area.

[0022] Step S022: Edge detection is performed on the grayscale image to extract the plantar contour. Using the Canny edge detection algorithm, dual thresholds are set (high threshold = 0.7 × maxGray, low threshold = 0.3 × maxGray). Non-maximum suppression and dual-threshold hysteresis are used to obtain single-pixel-width continuous contours. Step S023: Based on the edge detection results, morphological operations are used to optimize plantar segmentation. An opening operation (erosion followed by dilation) is used to eliminate small noise points. A 15-pixel diameter circular operator is used as the structuring element to preserve the main plantar contour while smoothing the edges. Step S024: Image noise is removed to obtain a complete plantar processed image. An adaptive median filter (window size 7 × 7) is applied to remove salt and pepper noise. A guided filter (radius 3, epsilon 0.1²) is then used to maintain edge sharpness. The final output is a binary mask. Leveraging the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier's edge computing architecture, image processing latency is reduced to less than 500ms, enabling real-time dynamic screening. Grayscale processing adopts the ITU-R BT.601 standard to accurately preserve the topological features of the plantar contact area, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent edge detection. The Canny dual-threshold algorithm (0.7×maxGray / 0.3×maxGray) combined with non-maximum suppression can effectively distinguish plantar wrinkles from true contact boundaries, avoiding misidentification of shoe and sock texture as contact areas. The morphological opening operation (15-pixel circular operator) eliminates small noise points while maintaining the biomechanical continuity of the arch contour. The cascade processing of adaptive median filtering (7×7 window) and guided filtering (radius 3) achieves a salt and pepper noise suppression rate of over 98%, while maintaining key pathological features such as the heel fat pad pressure gradient.

[0023] Step S03: Annotate the processed plantar image, individually marking the contact areas between the sole of the foot and the transparent glass surface to generate a plantar labeled map. This annotation process is performed locally on the device using the deep learning acceleration framework TensorRT, with an inference speed of ≥60 FPS. Specifically, it includes the following steps: Step S031: Based on the characteristics of the transparent glass surface of the optical plantar mirror, the grayscale difference between contact areas and non-contact areas is used as the annotation basis. Contact areas appear high in brightness (grayscale values ​​180-255) due to total reflection of ultraviolet light, while non-contact areas appear low in brightness (grayscale values ​​0-50) due to diffuse reflection, forming a natural basis for binary segmentation. Step S032: Automatically identify contact areas through threshold segmentation or the machine learning algorithm U-Net neural network. Threshold segmentation uses the Otsu automatic thresholding method. For complex scenarios, the U-Net++ network (encoder-decoder structure with a deep supervision branch) is used. The training dataset contains 2000 samples of different foot shapes, and the Dice loss function is used to optimize segmentation accuracy. Step S033: Binarize and annotate the identified contact areas to generate a contact area mask. The mask image is stored in 8-bit PNG format, with the contact area marked in white (RGB 255,255,255) and the background in black (RGB 0,0,0). EXIF ​​metadata is included to record the capture timestamp and device serial number. The contact area between the sole of the foot and the transparent glass surface is individually marked to better determine the pressure distribution. Non-contact areas are also individually marked to effectively determine the sole size, providing more accurate data support for subsequent arch assessment.

[0024] Step S04: After stepping down from the optical pedoscope, stand on the plantar pressure detection board again to obtain the plantar pressure distribution map, and upload the plantar pressure distribution map to the cloud; the pressure detection board uses an array piezoelectric film sensor with a resolution of 16 sensors / cm², a range of 0-1200kPa, and a sampling frequency of 100Hz. It transmits the data to the local device via the Bluetooth 5.0 protocol; the pressure data is calibrated using NIST standard weights (1kg-100kg) for linear compensation to ensure that the measurement error is ≤±3%.

[0025] Step S05: Align the plantar marking image with the plantar pressure distribution map. Using the plantar processed image as a benchmark, adjust the plantar pressure distribution map. Image alignment is performed on a cloud server (configured with 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6248 CPUs and 4 x NVIDIA A100 GPUs) using a multi-scale iterative optimization strategy, specifically including: Step S051: Based on the edge features of the plantar processing image and the plantar pressure distribution map, a preliminary alignment is performed using the SIFT feature point matching algorithm. When extracting SIFT feature points, a contrast threshold of 0.04 and an edge threshold of 10 are set. After matching, outliers are removed using the RANSAC algorithm (1000 iterations), and matching pairs with ≥80% inliers are retained. Step S052: Using the plantar processing image as a reference, the spatial position of the plantar pressure distribution map is adjusted using an affine or perspective transformation. The affine transformation matrix is ​​solved using the least squares method, with translation parameters tx,ty ranging from ±50 pixels, a rotation angle θ ≤ 5°, and a scaling factor s∈[0.95,1.05]. Step S053: Pixel-level registration is performed on the overlapping areas to ensure accurate correspondence between the contact points and the pressure distribution areas. Non-rigid alignment is performed using the Demons registration algorithm with 20 iterations. The mutual information (MI) similarity measure is used, and the spatial transformation gradient is ≤ 0.1 pixel. Cloud-based multi-scale iterative optimization achieves sub-pixel registration accuracy. SIFT feature point matching (contrast threshold 0.04) combined with the RANSAC algorithm (1000 iterations) retained over 80% valid matches even in plantar deformation scenarios. The affine transformation matrix was solved using the least squares method, keeping the spatial registration error within ±1.5 mm. The Demons non-rigid registration algorithm (20 iterations) combined with the mutual information metric achieved a 92% overlap between the contact area and the pressure hotspot. The introduction of a compensation factor α = (P_actual / P_theoretical) × (A_contact / A_foot) effectively corrected for registration errors caused by abnormal weight distribution in obese patients (BMI>30). Gaussian kernel convolution (σ = 5 pixels) ensured a smooth transition in pressure expansion and avoided boundary effects that could interfere with biomechanical analysis. Due to the limited precision of the plantar pressure sensor, the edges of the collected plantar pressure distribution maps were not accurate. Locations at the edges of the sole where force is less applied were often missed, resulting in an overabundance of data from high-pressure feet. In this example, the plantar marking image and the plantar pressure distribution map are used for image alignment, which optimizes the plantar pressure distribution map. This makes it easier to fit the actual situation when judging the arch of the foot later, thereby improving data accuracy.

[0026] Furthermore, in step S053, when the plantar pressure distribution map's edge area is smaller than the plantar landmark image during registration, a compensation algorithm is used to balance this. A compensation coefficient is calculated based on the relationship between the weight data and the area of ​​the plantar landmark image. The plantar landmark image's edge is scaled down according to the compensation coefficient, and the plantar pressure distribution map's edge is scaled up according to the compensation coefficient, so that the plantar landmark image and the plantar pressure distribution map's edge overlap. The compensation coefficient α = (P_actual / P_theoretical) × (A_contact / A_foot), where P_actual is the measured weight, P_theoretical is the standard weight (calculated according to the WHO formula), A_contact is the contact area, and A_foot is the total area of ​​the processed plantar image. Edge scaling uses a bilinear interpolation algorithm to maintain the continuity of the pressure gradient field.

[0027] More specifically, in step S053, when the edge of the plantar pressure distribution map is expanded, the edge pressure data uses the average value of the expanded position and gradually decreases along the expansion direction at a certain ratio. Pressure expansion uses Gaussian kernel convolution (σ = 5 pixels), and the pressure value of the expanded area P_extend = P_boundary × e^(-d² / (2σ²)), where d is the distance to the original boundary and σ is the diffusion coefficient, to ensure a natural and smooth pressure transition.

[0028] Regarding the calculation of arch data, the arch data calculation method in step S06 includes the following sub-steps: Step S061: Based on the aligned image, extract the pressure distribution characteristics of the arch area, including peak pressure, pressure area, and center of pressure trajectory; the definition of the arch area refers to the standards of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), and a three-point positioning system composed of the metatarsal head, calcaneal tuberosity, and navicular tuberosity is automatically located through an active shape model (ASM); the peak pressure is detected using a sliding window method (window size 5×5 pixels), and the pressure area is calculated based on the area enclosed by the 10 kPa isobar. Step S062: Calculate the arch index (AI), with the formula: AI = midfoot area pressure / total foot area pressure; the midfoot area is defined as the area inside the line connecting the talus-navicular-cuneiform, and the area is calculated using the Shoelace formula. The AI value is negatively correlated with the arch height, and the normal range is 0.21 - 0.26 (refer to the clinical data in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research 2023). Step S063: Combine the center of pressure trajectory (COP) offset to comprehensively judge the arch type. The COP trajectory is calculated using the centroid method, and the offset ΔCOP = √(Δx² + Δy²), where Δx and Δy are the displacements of the COP relative to the static phase during the dynamic standing phase; the determination of the arch type combines the AI value and the ΔCOP value and is achieved through a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The training data comes from 1500 clinical samples. The calculation of the arch index (AI) combines the analysis of the pressure area and the COP trajectory, and the automatic discrimination of flat feet / normal feet / high arches is achieved through an SVM classifier, with the accuracy rate increased by 27% compared to traditional methods. The sliding window method (5×5 pixels) detects the peak pressure and can identify early metatarsalgia (peak pressure > 450 kPa); the Shoelace formula calculates the midfoot area, excluding the influence of the heel fat pad volume on the AI value; the combined criterion of the COP trajectory offset ΔCOP and the AI value effectively distinguishes functional flat feet from structural flat feet, providing a quantitative basis for orthosis prescriptions.

[0029] Preferably, the method further includes the following steps: Step S07: Compare the arch data with a preset arch type threshold to generate a plantar health assessment report; the threshold is set according to the standards of the "Diagnostic Guidelines for Foot Diseases (5th Edition)", including three levels of flat feet (AI ≥ 0.28), normal feet (0.21 < AI < 0.28), and high arches (AI ≤ 0.21); the assessment report adopts the HL7 FHIR standard format, including structured data fields and a visual heat map.

[0030] Step S08: Based on the evaluation results, personalized foot care recommendations, including orthotic insole recommendations or rehabilitation training plans, are delivered to the user via the cloud platform. The recommendation system utilizes a collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm combined with user profiles (age, weight, and exercise habits). The orthotic insole matching database includes over 200 FDA-approved products, and training data is derived from over 10,000 user feedback. Rehabilitation plans are generated in accordance with the "Foot and Ankle Surgery Rehabilitation Guidelines (2022 Edition)" and include 12 standardized training videos from the exercise library.
