In order to increase the number of the training sisters in the network, the situation that the network is over-fitted is avoided, and operations such as rotation, translation, random scaling, shielding and the like are performed on the target training set. The division ratio is only an example in the present embodiment, and is not limited thereto; the dataset is in this embodiment submitted to labeling of the venous vessel edges by a specialist.

inputting the target training set into a TransUNet network, and training the target training set;
and inputting the target verification set and the target test set into a TransUNet network, and training the TransUNet network, so as to obtain the target segmentation effect of the network. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the effect of vein segmentation is evaluated using a dice value and a Hausdorff distance. Further modifications and improvements are made according to the implementation effect of the object.
In this embodiment, the TransUNet neural network model is a U-shaped network with five layers of encoding and decoding portions.
Specifically, the improved encoder in the U-shaped network of the model is as follows:
the encoder of the present network combines CNN, which focuses on local information, and a transducer, which encodes global information;
since the input of the transducer needs to be a sequence, the input image information needs to be subjected to serialization processing; assume that a near infrared ray P is obtained by shooting and is passed through a chartOperation such as preprocessing graying and the like to become single-channel gray scale map P W×H . Then the picture is sliced into pictures with resolution A×A, and the original picture can be decomposed intoLength picture sequence->
After the serialization of the pictures is completed, the near infrared picture slice sequence is compressed to the M dimension (becomes picture T using a fully connected layer W×H×M )。
At the same time, postion embedding in VIT is referenced to encode the absolute position of the picture to form one-dimensional picture position information code to form T pos
So that for a specific i-th picture patch, its coding function is:
at the moment of obtaining the output vector z 0 And then input to the final encoding function. The system specifically comprises an L-layer interactive multi-head attention Module (MA) and a multi-head perceptron Module (MLP), and the specific functions are as follows:
y' j =MSA(LN(y j-1 ))+y j-1
y j =MLP(LN(y' j ))+y' j
wherein y is j An output vector representing the encoded j-th layer, LN representing layer normalization, for reducing the effects of high correlation due to sample variation;
and meanwhile, coding sequences obtained by CNN corresponding to transformers of different layers are adopted to generate characteristic images of corresponding dimensions, and the characteristic images are cascaded to form a CNN-transformer coder.
In the present network, the upsampling encoding is performed five times for the near infrared picture sequence. Meanwhile, the network reserves a skip-connection structure of the Unet structure, and correspondingly, performs five downsampling and decoding, namely, gradually obtains a final decoded image by adopting five layers of decoders;
specifically, the U-shaped network decoder of the present model is as follows:

For each specific upsampled block, comprising two upsampling operators, a 3 x 3 convolutional layer, the loss function uses the ReLU function:
and after the decoded sequence is connected with the feature map acquired by the CNN network in a long distance, so that the feature map is aggregated under the aggregation resolution, and the low level features are kept, thereby realizing a better blood vessel contour recognition effect.
As in fig. 4, the first venous vascular segmentation network model may be trained from the labeled vascular profile dataset; and inputting the near infrared picture obtained after data preprocessing into a trained model, and segmenting out the vein blood vessel outline.
As shown in fig. 3, the objective of the second venous blood vessel segmentation network model is to obtain a blood vessel region suitable for puncture, and calculate and select an optimal puncture point and a corresponding puncture angle by using the connected domain.
The construction process of the second vein blood vessel segmentation network model comprises the following steps:
after the contour recognition of the vessel edge is completed, the vessel segments with too high or too thin edge curvature need to be removed. Specifically, the positions of vein bifurcation, large curvature vein segment, vein segment near the imaging edge of the near infrared camera, short vein segment and the like which are not suitable for needle insertion are manually erased, and the accurate positions suitable for needle insertion are obtained by manual marking and used as training data sets. Then, the method comprises the following steps of: 3: the 3 scale divides the training data set into a target training set, a target validation set and a target test set.
In order to increase the number of the training sisters in the network, the situation that the network is over-fitted is avoided, and operations such as rotation, translation, random scaling, shielding and the like are performed on the target training set. The division ratio is only an example in the present embodiment, and is not limited thereto; the dataset is in this embodiment submitted to labeling of the venous vessel edges by a specialist.
Building a structure of a TransUNet neural network model;
inputting the target training set into a TransUNet network, and training the target training set;
and inputting the target verification set and the target test set into a TransUNet network, and training the TransUNet network, so as to obtain the target segmentation effect of the network. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the effect of vein segmentation is evaluated using a dice value and a Hausdorff distance. Further modifications and improvements are made according to the implementation effect of the object.
As shown in fig. 4, the second venous vascular segmentation network model may be trained with labeled blood vessel data sets suitable for puncture; the output result of the first vein blood vessel segmentation network model can be used as the input of the second vein blood vessel segmentation network model, the blood vessel region suitable for puncture is identified, and the optimal puncture point and puncture angle are further calculated through a connected domain algorithm.

After each connected domain is obtained, it is assumed that the connected domain set is s= { S 1 ,s 2 ,……,s n And (n is the number of communication domains).
For each connected domain, calculating the corresponding center point of the connected domain, and calculating the center point of each connected domain by using a picture center moment calculation function in opencv:

Selecting l 0 =max{l i ,i∈[1,n]A target puncture point in the original image is a connected domain center point P corresponding to the straight line o And the angle corresponding to the straight line is taken as the puncture angle theta 0
4. Step S5
The depth information of the identified blood vessel is acquired by using the first infrared imaging picture and the second infrared imaging picture, and the principle is as follows:
since the depth of the vein of the human body is generally determined by the thickness of the epidermis, the thickness of the dermis, and the thickness of the fat layer overlying the vein. The skin epidermis layer thickness of a human arm is typically around 0.15 mm, the total skin thickness is typically around 2 mm, and the fat layer thickness varies from individual to individual. The arm vein depth is determined primarily by the fat layer thickness.
The skin epidermis layer of the human body has good transmission characteristics for infrared light. Near infrared rays irradiated to the skin of a human body can pass through the epidermis to enter subcutaneous adipose tissues mostly. Also, the backscattered light of fat is mostly able to pass through the skin. There are also two roles of scattering and absorption of light in fat. But the fat absorption coefficient is small and stable and differs at two near infrared wavelengths. There is a peak of infrared absorption around 940nm wavelength, whereas at 850nm wavelength, the effect of infrared absorption is smaller.
Since the output brightness of the infrared image is nonlinear with the input signal amplitude, gamma correction is used to calculate the brightness of the image. Assuming that a pixel point of a picture has pixels in three dimensions of R, G and B, the brightness of the pixel point can be calculated correspondingly as follows:
since the infrared light is radiated uniformly outward in a wave mode, it is assumed here that the distance the light passes when radiated to the blood vessel is d. Since it is uniformly divergent, the brightness should exhibit a linear relationship with the intensity of light reflected by the picture. Assuming that the infrared light intensity reflected by the picture is I', the following formula can be derived:
I’=γL
the coefficient γ here is a correction coefficient of a linear relationship, and can be obtained by linear regression. The above linear regression may be performed experimentally in advance.
Thereby, the reflected light intensity I of the infrared picture can be obtained 1 The relationship between' and the brightness of the picture, and then the difference of the infrared energy absorbed at two wavelengths is used to calculate the fat thickness. Since the adipocyte size is much larger than the wavelength of near infrared light, there is strong back scattering in fat. The thickness of fat can be estimated using the back-scattered light difference. First, two kinds of light are at the fat layer on the surface of the human body, and the absorption coefficient of the light is:
where k is the imaginary part of the refractive index of water,for the volume fraction of water in the tissue (for a fixed constant of 0.81) Lambda is the wavelength of the incident light.
The depth of the body surface fat layer of the human body can be calculated through infrared light with two wavelengths, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:
wherein I is 1 Represents the initial light intensity, ΔI, of an infrared light wave having a wavelength of 850mm 1 Representing the intensity of fat absorption (difference between emitted and reflected light), I 2 Represents the initial light intensity, ΔI, of an infrared light wave having a wavelength of 940mm 2 Representing the intensity of fat absorption (difference between emitted and reflected light), I 1 ' representing the reflected light intensity of the first infrared imaging picture, I 2 ' represents the reflected light intensity of the second infrared imaging picture, eta is the light intensity absorption correction coefficient, mu 1 ,μ 2 The absorption coefficient of fat for light at both light intensities is shown. In the formula, specific correction coefficients can be determined by regression.
The foregoing describes in detail preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that numerous modifications and variations can be made in accordance with the concepts of the invention by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden. Therefore, all technical solutions which can be obtained by logic analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the prior art by the person skilled in the art according to the inventive concept shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
