Tongue inspection

A Novel Imaging System for Tongue Inspection

A digital imaging and modeling system is developed for tongue inspection that has been an important diagnostic method of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The system includes image acquisition, color calibration, image segmentation, feature extraction and classification functions. The preliminary results show that the color and texture features are sensitive to the abnormal tongues.

[Study on the application of bio-heat transfer science to the quantitative analysis of tongue inspection].

OBJECTIVE To research the mechanism of the tongue inspection in traditional Chinese medicine and to study the special relationship between temperature distribution of the tongue and the tongue color. METHODS The temperature field of human and pig's tongue was measured by infrared thermal vision system and thermal-couple probe. The blood perfusion rates in the human tongue and the pig's tongue...
