This invention relates to the interdisciplinary field of assisted reproductive technology and artificial intelligence, specifically to a system and method for constructing an embryonic developmental trajectory map that integrates morphological features. By deeply integrating static morphological features with dynamic morphodynamic parameters, a more comprehensive panoramic map of embryonic development with richer information dimensions is constructed, overcoming the one-sidedness of single-dimensional assessment. Automated analysis of the map using an AI model reduces the influence of subjective human factors, enabling the discovery of subtle developmental patterns and potential differences that are difficult to discern with the human eye, significantly improving the accuracy of selecting high-quality embryos. The provided developmental trajectory map allows embryologists to intuitively examine the entire developmental process of the embryo and the performance of each key node, enhancing the interpretability and credibility of the assessment process. Through more scientific embryo selection, it is expected to improve embryo implantation and clinical pregnancy rates, and reduce multiple pregnancy and miscarriage rates.
