Abstract
A digital imaging and modeling system is developed for tongue inspection, which has been an important diagnostic method of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The system includes image acquisition, color calibration, image segmentation, feature extraction and classification functions. The preliminary results show that the color and texture features are sensitive to the abnormal tongues.
