BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0031] Figure 1 A module diagram of a chronic wound evaluation and diagnosis system based on image intelligent identification is provided for an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a chronic wound evaluation and diagnosis system based on image intelligent identification, which comprises an image acquisition module, a region identification module, a three-dimensional reconstruction module, an evaluation module and a treatment scheme recommendation module.

[0034] The image acquisition module can obtain multi-source heterogeneous chronic wound image data through a unified interface protocol, and perform denoising and color standardization processing on the chronic wound image data, enhance the contrast and clarity of the image, and provide a reliable basis for subsequent analysis, and the multi-source heterogeneous chronic wound image data includes image data shot by a smart phone, a digital camera and a professional medical imaging instrument.

[0035] The image acquisition module further includes a standardization submodule for regulating the operation process of the smartphone digital camera through standardization instructions. For example, the user is required to keep a fixed focal length and vertical angle for shooting. The standardization instructions can prompt the user to adjust the posture and lighting conditions in real time through the interactive interface, which can minimize the imaging differences caused by human factors.

[0036] In addition, the image acquisition module also supports metadata acquisition, obtaining device model and shooting timestamp, which is convenient for tracing the image source and correcting potential systematic bias during preprocessing, ensuring the universality and comparability of image data.

[0037] The denoising process first uses the median filtering algorithm to replace the center point value with the gray scale sorting in the pixel neighborhood to remove salt and pepper noise; then superimposes Gaussian filtering, which weights and averages the neighborhood pixels based on the two-dimensional normal distribution function to smooth the sudden peaks in high-frequency textures. Through the hybrid filtering scheme, both the wound boundary profile and the artifacts caused by sensor thermal noise or transmission errors can be preserved.

[0038] When the metadata acquisition obtains the device model as a smartphone, the image is processed with enhanced low-frequency component weight to solve the problem of uneven brightness caused by the high-sensitivity mode of the smartphone camera, to stabilize the overall brightness field.

[0039] Color standardization is used to correct the color difference caused by different devices. First, a standard reference area with known color features is selected in the image to construct a conversion model from device-dependent color space to standard color space. Then, a color profile matching algorithm is used to perform pixel-by-pixel color normalization on the wound image, ensuring that the same tissue type appears consistent in color under different device shooting, thereby eliminating color deviations caused by factors such as light source color temperature and camera white balance settings, laying a reliable color foundation for subsequent accurate wound region segmentation and tissue classification.

[0040] In addition, to ensure the accuracy of subsequent two-dimensional and three-dimensional measurements, the image acquisition module requires a standardized reference object (such as a ruler with specific color markings) to be placed next to the wound during shooting. This reference object will serve as an absolute basis for converting pixel size to physical units (millimeters) in subsequent modules, laying the foundation for accurate calculation of wound area and volume.

[0041] The image acquisition module also includes a form analysis submodule that can extract all the text content of the paper or electronic evaluation sheet of the doctor's diagnosis through OCR technology, while specially processing the check boxes (analyzing the filling state) and underlines (recognizing handwritten content). Semantic analysis is also performed to ensure that free text is converted into structured data, providing standard input for subsequent analysis, allowing the system to integrate multiple heterogeneous information sources for comprehensive analysis. At the same time, historical standardized treatment plans are input to assist in treatment plan recommendation.

[0042] The region recognition module can segment the wound area from the processed chronic wound image data through the U-Net3 network algorithm and analysis model, generate an edge weight map, and perform classification of necrotic tissue and analysis of spatial morphology, depth, area, volume, subcutaneous tissue, sinus, and atrophic pipe information. The classification of necrotic tissue includes four types: grayish yellow slough, attached yellow slough, soft black scab, and hard black scab. The specific content is as follows:

[0043] 1) Wound area segmentation

[0044] Taking the U-Net3 network algorithm as the skeleton, an EAM module is inserted at the encoder-decoder jump connection to form an analysis model, which contains two parallel branches:

[0045] Edge feature extraction branch: use the Sobel operator to calculate the gradient amplitude and generate an edge probability map (0-1).

[0046] Attention weight generation branch: map the edge probability map to attention weight (0-1) through 1x1 convolution, and multiply it with the feature map element by element. The final output is the attention weighted feature map, which enhances the semantic information of the wound boundary (such as immersion and edge rolling).

[0047] Collect 1200 labeled wound images (600 cases of diabetic foot ulcers, 400 cases of pressure ulcers, and 200 cases of venous ulcers), divide them into training, validation, and test sets in the ratio of 8:1:1, and train the analysis model. Provide the analysis model with a variety of samples that are clinically representative, ensuring that it can learn the common features of different wound types and accurately assess its generalization performance. After training, the U-Net3 network algorithm adaptively thresholds the processed chronic wound image data to generate an edge weight map.

[0048] 2) Necrotic tissue classification

[0049] The analysis model linearly transforms the RGB pixel values of the chronic wound image data to the XYZ intermediate color gamut, and then applies a non-linear correction formula to map it to the CIELAB space, separating the lightness (L), green-red axis (a), and blue-yellow axis (b*) into three independent channels to obtain the Lab image.

[0050] Based on the edge weight map and the Lab image, apply K-means clustering (k=3) on the L channel of the Lab image to preliminarily mark the low-light area (L<40) as a necrotic candidate area, excluding healthy tissue interference.

[0051] Based on the analysis model, all suspected necrotic areas are located, and multi-dimensional feature quantification is used to distinguish them:

[0052] In terms of texture smoothness, the contrast index was extracted using the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Grayish yellow slough showed low contrast (<10) due to its uniform texture, while hard black scab showed high contrast (>50) due to its rough granular structure.

[0053] Edge sharpness was calculated by Canny detection to determine the proportion of boundary pixels. Adherent yellow slough showed low edge proportion (<0.2) due to infiltration and fusion with healthy tissue, while soft black scab showed high proportion (>0.5) due to its sharp boundary. Surface wetness was determined based on the mean value of the b channel (μ_b) in the Lab color space. Wet areas showed μ_b > 10 due to yellow pigment deposition, providing a reliable basis for the automated classification of the four types of necrotic tissue.

[0054] 3) Undermining and fistula detection

[0055] Undermining detection: From the wound edge to the healthy skin direction, the algorithm detects the horizontal distance and depth between the wound edge and the healthy tissue attachment point on the three-dimensional point cloud data. When the horizontal distance is >2mm, it is determined that there is undermining, and its position, horizontal extension distance (cm), and depth (cm) are recorded.

[0056] Fistula detection: In the three-dimensional point cloud model, search for abnormal channels connecting two independent wound areas or body surface openings. Once identified, it will be marked as a fistula, and its tunnel length (cm), path direction, and opening diameter will be quantified.

[0057] 4) Sinus tract analysis

[0058] Three-dimensional measurement of wound image data based on binocular vision technology: First, camera calibration is performed by collecting 15 sets of checkerboard images at different angles. The corner points are extracted using OpenCV, and the camera intrinsic parameters, distortion coefficients, and binocular extrinsic parameters are solved. Then, stereo rectification is used to align the left and right views. Next, the SGBM algorithm is used to generate a disparity map, which is smoothed by WLS filtering and optimized to sub-pixels. Based on the calibration parameters, the disparity is converted to depth value Z, and the conversion formula is as follows:

[0059]

[0060] where f is the focal length obtained by calibration, B is the baseline distance of the binocular extrinsic parameter, and d is the disparity value of the pixel point. x

[0061] Then, the three-dimensional coordinates of the wound area are extracted based on the edge weight map to generate a three-dimensional point cloud model. The area with a depth difference >2mm is detected as the depth difference threshold, which is used to select the sinus tract boundary profile. Then, the matrix C of the sinus tract direction is calculated to accurately determine the three-dimensional structure of the sinus tract. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] wherein, is the point cloud centroid, (X k , Y k , Z k ) is the three-dimensional coordinate, P' is the centered coordinate, and N is the total number of data points contained in the three-dimensional point cloud. k

[0064] 5) Wound area and volume quantification

[0065] Volume estimation is achieved in combination with the three-dimensional point cloud model. Based on the segmentation mask and the standardized reference in the image, the actual area corresponding to a unit pixel is calculated, and the total number of pixels in the mask is counted to obtain the two-dimensional projection area of the wound surface. Alpha shape algorithm is used to automatically identify the complex contour boundary and exclude the interference of hair and other artifacts. Based on the triangular subdivision method, the irregular surface is decomposed into micro-element patches, and the three-dimensional volume data is accumulated. This index can dynamically reflect the wound contraction trend and provide quantitative basis for debridement range.

[0066] The three-dimensional reconstruction module can construct an interactive three-dimensional clinical model based on the analysis of the restored sinus direction, clearly display the position and shape of the sinus, and mark the sinus information in combination with the clock position marker, so as to facilitate the display through the visual mode and help the subsequent doctors to make more accurate surgical plans and nursing plans.

[0067] The three-dimensional reconstruction module includes a construction submodule and a marking submodule. The construction submodule is used to restore the sinus direction and construct an interactive three-dimensional clinical model, which clearly presents the position and shape of the sinus. The marking submodule can mark the sinus direction as a clock time according to the spatial coordinates of the sinus geometric body, taking the clock position as the reference. The specific content is as follows:

[0068] 1) Construction submodule

[0069] The interactive three-dimensional clinical model is constructed based on the energy minimization semi-global block matching strategy (SGBM), and a dense correspondence relationship is established between the left and right views to generate a disparity map. In combination with the calibrated baseline length and focal length parameters, the two-dimensional pixel displacement value is converted into millimeter-level depth data, and the reverse projection algorithm is used to fit the discrete point cloud into a continuous surface model, accurately restoring the concave-convex topological structure of the wound surface.

[0070] 2) Marking submodule

[0071] ​A clock coordinate system is established with the geometric center of the wound as the origin (12 o'clock always pointing to the patient's head side). The spatial direction of the sinus tract is automatically labeled (e.g., 3 o'clock direction), and the depth value is mapped to a heat map: red (depth > 2 cm), yellow (1-2 cm), blue (<1 cm). Key measurement points (e.g., maximum depth position) are marked on the grid surface. Rotation, scaling, and sectioning operations under the WebGL engine are also supported.

[0072] The evaluation module can convert RGB images to HSV space, judge the capillary density index characteristics at different time nodes by quantifying the area proportion of red and pink regions, and realize continuous monitoring of granulation maturity.

[0073] First, the RGB image is converted to HSV (hue, saturation, and brightness) space. By setting hue thresholds (e.g., 0-10° and 340-360° for red, 10-30° for pink), combining saturation and brightness to filter background interference, and quantifying the area proportion of red and pink pigmentation regions.

[0074] When the capillary blood vessels in the newly formed granulation tissue are abundant, the proportion of red regions increases significantly, while fibrotic or necrotic tissue shows a shift in hue or a decrease in saturation. The area proportion of red and pink pigmentation regions can directly reflect the capillary density.

[0075] At the same time, the evaluation module is built using a hybrid architecture of CNN and LSTM, which realizes the deep integration of spatial feature extraction and time series modeling. The CNN branch abstracts local lesion features through convolution and pooling layers to generate multi-channel feature maps. The LSTM branch concatenates the patient's historical visit data (e.g., weekly wound images) to construct a time series evolution curve of granulation maturity. The dual-channel design allows the model to grasp the spatial distribution characteristics of a single measurement and track the trend of tissue changes during treatment.

[0076] The evaluation module can continuously monitor the slope change of the granulation growth curve. Once it detects that the activity index of three consecutive observation points decreases at a rate exceeding the preset threshold (e.g., daily decay >5%), it immediately activates a multi-level warning system.

[0077] For example: the primary alarm prompts to strengthen local care observation, the intermediate warning suggests adjusting the type of dressing, and in emergency situations, it directly pushes the debridement surgery intervention plan.

[0078] The treatment recommendation module can match the multi-source data of the patient's wound necrotic tissue classification, sinus tract direction, and granulation maturity with standardized treatment plans, determine and output the final diagnosis plan, realize intelligent recommendation of treatment plans, and ensure the scientificity and individualization of treatment decisions.

[0079] In the above-mentioned chronic wound evaluation and diagnosis system based on image intelligent recognition, the image acquisition module is used to input the wound image of the patient, the deep learning network is used to accurately segment the wound area, and the image intelligent recognition is combined with the wound characteristics to improve the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation, and further use the binocular vision principle to construct a dynamic three-dimensional point cloud model to intuitively display the spatial form, depth, area, volume, hidden path, sinus and fistula information of the wound, thereby improving the subsequent wound evaluation effect;

[0080] The granulation activity is also observed through the evaluation module, so as to achieve dynamic monitoring of the wound healing process. The workflow of the whole system is highly automated and intelligent, greatly reducing the need for manual intervention, improving work efficiency and diagnosis accuracy.

[0081] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and in order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictory, it should be considered as the scope of the present disclosure.
