摘要

Tongue diagnosis is a diagnostic method to understand the physiological functions and pathological changes of the human body by observing human tongue quality,tongue coating,and sublingual collateral veins.Tongue elephant research is an important part of objective Chinese medicine.Based on the research of tongue image analysis method,the design of a tongue image collection analysis system based on the smartphone platform was demonstrated.This research uses a smartphone camera to collect tongue images,upload them to the server and complete tongue image analysis on the server.Finally,the tongue image analysis results are generated,and the results are transmitted from the server to the smartphone mobile terminal.We used HTTP protocol for communication between mobile client and server.We asked professional TCM doctors to evaluate the results of tongue analysis in 100 cases,and the final anastomosis rate was above 80%.This study fills in the gaps in the mobile platform of objectification of tongue diagnosis,which is conducive to the use of mobile phones to collect tongue images anytime,anywhere,and to conveniently share the results of tongue diagnosis with physicians.With an Internet connection,users can use their smartphones to remotely diagnose their tongues,who can store and generate their own personal diagnostic reports.
