The application relates to the field of
acupuncture point positioning, in particular to an
acupuncture point positioning method for
acupuncture and physiotherapy. The method first acquires a plurality of acupuncture points in an
abdominal surface image of a patient to be measured and initial coordinates of each
acupuncture point, taking the Shenjue point of the patient to be measured as a coordinate origin, and uses a contour
scanner to collect a plurality of contour lines of the
abdominal surface of the patient to be measured along a
body axis direction, analyzes a proportion between distances in the image and actual distances, obtains a proportion coefficient, screens a target
contour line passing through a target
acupuncture point according to an initial longitudinal coordinate of the target
acupuncture point, a proportion coefficient, a
moving speed of the contour
scanner and a scanning frequency, analyzes a bending degree of a local part of the target acupuncture point on the target
contour line, corrects the initial coordinate of the target acupuncture point according to the obtained bending degree, and obtains an adjusted coordinate of the target acupuncture point. The application can reduce deviation of acupuncture point positioning on the
abdominal surface of the patient to be measured and improve the accuracy of the acupuncture point positioning.
