Accurate extraction of sublingual veins from tongue images is crucial for disease analysis. A new hidden Markov model approach using hyperspectral imaging significantly improves sublingual vein segmentation, even in noisy conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • The sublingual vein's pathological significance necessitates accurate extraction from tongue images.
  • Current methods for sublingual vein extraction lack precision and robustness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel algorithm for accurate sublingual vein extraction from hyperspectral tongue images.
  • To quantitatively assess the performance of the proposed method against traditional algorithms.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a hyperspectral tongue imaging system to capture high-resolution sublingual images.
  • Developed a hidden Markov model (HMM) approach to characterize spectral correlations and band-to-band variability for vein segmentation.
  • Compared the proposed HMM algorithm with pixel-based segmentation and spectral angle mapper algorithms on 150 image scenes.
