[0111] Please refer to Figure 2 to Figure 7 , Figure 2For an embodiment flowchart of the throat image feature determination method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the throat image feature determination method comprises:

[0112] 201. Segment the target abnormal area in the pre-acquired narrow band endoscopic image to obtain an abnormal area segmentation map and an area of the target abnormal area.

[0113] The narrow band endoscopic image is a narrow band endoscopic image taken of the throat of a patient.

[0114] The narrow band endoscopic image of the throat of the patient can be acquired by a narrow band imaging endoscope (NBI), and the size information of the narrow band endoscopic image is specifically the width W and the height H of the narrow band endoscopic image. The NBI is a filter that filters out the wide band spectrum of the red, blue and green light waves emitted by the endoscope light source, leaving only the narrow band spectrum for the diagnosis of various diseases of the digestive tract.

The blood vessel segmentation model is preferably Unet++, and the label thereof can be outlined by a professional nasopharyngeal laryngoscope physician on the blood vessel boundary.

[0122] 204. Obtain a first number ratio feature of abnormal microvessels in the microvessel segmentation map and a second number ratio feature of hollow microvessels in the abnormal microvessels.

[0128] Wherein, the present application can adopt the connected domain method to obtain the minimum circumscribed horizontal rectangular frame of each microvessel in the microvessel segmentation map.

[0129] B2, and each connected domain is segmented from the microvessel segmentation map to obtain a plurality of sub-connected domains.

[0130] B3, based on the minimum circumscribed horizontal rectangular frame and the plurality of sub-connected domains, each microvessel in the microvessel segmentation map is obtained to obtain a first microvessel set.

[0131] In the embodiments of the present application, if there is only one connected domain in the rectangular frame, it is the target microvessel (one root) at this time, if there are multiple connected domains in the rectangular frame, the 4 boundary method is used for judgment: check whether there are pixels in all connected domains in the rectangular frame that appear on the 4 boundary of the rectangular frame at the same time, if less than 4 boundaries, the connected domain is excluded; finally, the single blood vessel is as follows Figure 3 As shown, A and B are single blood vessels.

[0132] A2, obtain the abnormal microvessels in the first microvessel set to obtain a second microvessel set, and count a second total number of abnormal microvessels in the second microvessel set.

[0133] Wherein, the abnormal blood vessel is a blood vessel with abnormal shape, size, etc., and the following mainly takes the diameter of the blood vessel as an example to illustrate how to obtain the first number proportion feature of the abnormal microvessels in the microvessel segmentation map.

[0134] In some embodiments of the present application, the abnormal microvessels in the first microvessel set are obtained by steps C1 to C6:

[0135] C1, obtaining a first diameter list set of each microvessel in the first microvessel set.

[0136] The first diameter list set includes a plurality of diameters of each microvessel, and the plurality of diameters are arranged in a preset size order.

The method of claim 1, wherein The area proportion feature, the first number proportion feature, the second number proportion feature, the third number proportion feature, the abnormal microvessel aggregation degree feature, the microvessel density feature, and the abnormal microvessel color quantization feature are added to a preset laryngeal image feature set, comprising: The area proportion feature, the first number proportion feature, the second number proportion feature, the third number proportion feature, the abnormal microvessel aggregation degree feature, the microvessel density feature, and the abnormal microvessel color quantization feature are added to a preset laryngeal image feature set; All features in the laryngeal image feature set are weighted and fitted to obtain an abnormal degree coefficient of the larynx; Based on the abnormal degree coefficient and a preset abnormal degree threshold, the abnormal degree of the larynx of the patient is determined.

8. A laryngeal image feature determination apparatus characterized by comprising: The device comprises: The first segmentation unit is configured to segment a target abnormal area in a narrow band endoscope image to obtain an abnormal area segmentation map and an area of the target abnormal area, the narrow band endoscope image being a narrow band endoscope image taken for a throat of a patient; The first determination unit is configured to determine an area proportion feature of the target abnormal area based on the area of the target abnormal area and size information of the narrow band endoscope image; The second segmentation unit is configured to segment a microvessel area in the abnormal area segmentation map to obtain a microvessel segmentation map; The first acquisition unit is configured to acquire a first number proportion feature of abnormal microvessels in the microvessel segmentation map, a second number proportion feature of hollow microvessels in the abnormal microvessels; The second acquisition unit is configured to acquire a third number proportion feature of irregular shape microvessels in the microvessel segmentation map; The third acquisition unit is configured to acquire an abnormal microvessel aggregation degree feature, a microvessel density feature and an abnormal microvessel color quantization feature in the target abnormal area; The first adding unit is configured to add the area proportion feature, the first number proportion feature, the second number proportion feature, the third number proportion feature, the abnormal microvessel aggregation degree feature, the microvessel density feature and the abnormal microvessel color quantization feature to a preset throat image feature set, the throat image feature set being used to determine an abnormal degree of the throat of the patient.

9. A computer device, comprising: The computer device comprises: one or more processors; a memory; and one or more application programs, wherein the one or more application programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to implement the feature determination method of the throat image according to any one of claims 1 to 7.

10. A computer-readable storage medium, characterized in that, A computer program is stored thereon, and the computer program is loaded by a processor to execute the steps in the feature determination method of the throat image according to any one of claims 1 to 7.
