Abstract

We propose a telemedicine system on a private cloud platform, from which we can connect the traditional tongue examination with Chinese medicine. We proposed a double backbone structure from the framework of YOLO v4 to detect and segment the tongue images from videos. We also designed an image collector for the image acquisition. The image collector offers the functions of calibration and environment standardization of light sources and image information. The system then delivers the image candidates through the private cloud platform to the database for transplant ability and data usability. The doctors of Chinese medicine help label the tongue images according to the potential lesions and then deliver the labeled results and suggestions back to the database. The tentative experiments validated the feasibility of the proposed telemedicine system.
