Original askiatic imaging used in Chinese medicine eye-feature diagnosis of visceral diseases

摘要

Eye-feature diagnosis is a time-honored method for studying many diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. There is a close relationship between eye-feature and viscera, and eye-feature is a reflection of visceral health status. Commercially used ophthalmology diagnosis instruments have disadvantages and cannot satisfy the requirements of eye-feature diagnosis. In this paper, we proposed a novel askiatic imaging method that removes the interference of an illumination source’s reflection shadow and is free from image splicing. We developed a novel imaging system to implement this method, and some eye-feature characteristics to analyze visceral diseases were obtained.
