摘要
An objectifying system for color inspections of traditional Chinese medicine （CITCM） is developed. The entire system includes two parts ： The hardware and the software. The hardware is an image acquiring device under a standard lighting condition, and it mainly includes a xenon lamp with color temperature of 5 500 K as light source, an integrating sphere used for diffusing light and a high resolution CCD camera. The software is used for digital image processing, and the procedure is divided into three steps. Firstly the skin/non-skin classifi- cation is performed by utilizing the threshold in chrominance channels of the RGB color space. Secondly, the fa- cial features are localized by using the image segmentation and coordinates sorting. Finally, the facial special re- gion（SR） corresponding to five internal organs is achieved by utilizing masks designed to take advantage of mor- phology. Subsequently, the chromaticity is calculated. The system is tested by taking 83 samples of 30 young and 53 elderly people. The experiment shows that there is significant difference of all SRs between the young and the elderly, and the system has better performance for objectifying research of CITCM.
研制开发了中医色诊客观化研究专用系统。该系统包括硬件和软件两部分。硬件是一个标准光源环境的图像采集装置,主要由色温为5500K的氙灯、漫反射积分球和高分辨率CCD数码相机组成。软件用于图像处理,处理过程分为3步:首先使用灰度阈值将原始图像进行肤色/非肤色分类,然后通过图像分割和坐标排序定位人脸特征,最后应用形态学技术提取与人体五脏对应的色部区域并且计算区域色度值。使用该系统采集和处理了30例年轻人和53例老年人的样本。实验结果表明年轻人和老年人色部数据有显著性差异。初步应用验证了系统在中医色诊客观化研究中的良好性能。
