Abstract

Abstract

To analyze sublingual vessel by computer,the authors proposed a sublingual vessel segmentation algorithm based on fuzzy clustering and tracking,which combines tongue image segmentation by Snakes model and prior-knowledge on the sublingual vessel distribution.Result shows that this method could achieve good effect,which builds a good foundation of automatic analysis of sublingual vessel by computer.
- image segmentation,
- blood vessel segmentation,
- image analysis
