Development of an abdominal acupoint localization system based on AI deep learning
This study aims to develop an abdominal acupoint localization system based on computer vision and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). To address the challenge of abdominal acupoint localization
a multi-task CNNs architecture was constructed and trained to locate the Shenque (CV8) and human body boundaries. Based on the identified Shenque (CV8)
the system further deduces key characteristics of four acupoints: Shangwan (CV13)
Qugu (CV2)
and bilateral Daheng (SP15). An affine transformation matrix is applied to accurately map image coordinates to an acupoint template space
achieving precise localization of abdominal acupoints. Testing has verified that this system can accurately identify and locate abdominal acupoints in images. The development of this localization system provides technical support for TCM remote education
diagnostic assistance
and advanced TCM equipment
such as intelligent acupuncture robots
facilitating the standardization and intelligent advancement of acupuncture.
