Description

Diagnosis Device For Face Form Using Facial Image and Cephalometric Image}

The present invention relates to a shape diagnoser for classifying a patient's face shape based on oriental shape medicine, and more specifically, using a face image and a head x-ray image to diagnose / prescribe a patient based on shape medicine. The present invention relates to a shape diagnoser for more accurately diagnosing a facial form of a subject and classifying shapes.

Shape medicine is the medicine that Jisan Park In-gyu researched and developed and embodied with the Emperor's Endoscopy. Known as Considering that dialectic value, which emphasizes individual characteristics, is the core of Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment technology, it is focused on the patient's shape, especially the shape of the face, to improve clinical efficiency. It is a diagnostic technique that seeks to unite (type, color, pulse and symptoms).

The shape medicine is in a word 'to treat the disease as it occurs and treat as it occurs', and can be referred to as a patient-specific medicine unique to Korea. In other words, the appearance of a person, that is, the appearance is different, as if the appearance is different, the appearance of each book is different, and the disease that comes to each person is different, even if the symptoms are the theory that treatment and health care should be different.

In Dongbogam, it is written that 'see the parts of the face to identify which organs are ill', which means that there are different ways to maintain health according to the characteristics, facial shape, skin color and body shape of all ages. It is in line with medical theory.

The main ways of classifying the appearance, or form, of man are as follows. Carrier-bladder, which is a comparison of the area (size) of the front and side of the face, the mental hemostasis by morphological observation of the facial periphery, and the iliac muscles according to the comparison of the eye nose and face size (distribution), the eye and the nose It consists of a hexapical shape, which is determined as the shape and protrusion of the face part.

Hereinafter, a method of diagnosing / determining a facial shape of a subject (diagnostic subject) is as follows.

The classification of carrier-bladder by morphology is based on the area (size) comparison of the front and side of the face (face) and the overall shape of the face. In other words, since the length is the same value in calculating the size of the front face and the side of the face, the horizontal lengths of the front and side are compared as follows. More specifically, the distance between the midpoint of the forehead and the midcenter of the mandible, which represents the longitudinal length of the front and side of the face, is obtained. Then, the horizontal distance between both bone points representing the transverse length of the front face and the horizontal distance between the bones at the front point of the ear representing the horizontal length of the face side are obtained. In order to obtain the area of the front face, the length of the front face is multiplied by the horizontal length of the front face, and the length of the side is multiplied by the length of the side face to obtain the area of the face side.

The bladder is classified into a bladder and a carrier on the basis of the obtained numerical values. The bladder becomes a carrier when the area of the front face is larger than the area of the side face, and the carrier is smaller than the area of the side face.

Next, in order to classify mental hemostasis according to the shape of the facial periphery, the angle between the head of the head and the head of the head, the angle of the center lower jaw, the angle of the side jaw, and the angle of the tibia Measure In addition, the length and width of the forehead, the length of both tibial points, the length and width of both jaws are compared and the length between the midpoint of the forehead and both tibial points is measured, and the results are divided as follows.

The gynecology is a case where the length of the forehead and the width of the forehead are large. The angle of the connection line between the head and soymilk is large, and the length and width of the mandibular jaw are small. This is a case of large length and width, and large angle of the connecting line between head and soymilk. The fruit is a case where the horizontal line of the face is larger than the vertical line, and the tile is determined by the angle of the outside of the face.

In order to know the morphology of eye nose and facial size (distribution) comparison, proceed by comparing the length and size of the eyeballs, the shape of the eyeballs distribution on the face (collected or scattered), and the size of the entire face. By length, the ear measures length, the nose measures three-dimensional volume (length multiplied by height), and the eye measures length.

On the other hand, in order to judge the shape of the eyes and nose and the protruding depression of the face part, the angle of the eye tail is measured from the front of the face with respect to the horizontal line through which the pupil and the wawa pass. Judgment of the hexascopic type by angle.

As described above, in order to classify according to the shape medicine, a large amount of data such as length, angle, area, etc. of the main classification of the shape medicine described above should be obtained.

On the other hand, conventionally measured the distance or circumference of the body using a horizontal or tape measure, such as the lying posture or line position of the subject, which is a problem that the error of the measured value occurs according to the posture to be taken by the subject, the subject There were problems such as discomfort caused by physical contact with (doctors, etc.).

This problem is required to standardize and quantify more objective diagnosis based on the development of automated medical equipment. To this end, facial images are obtained using a 3D (3D) camera and shape diagnosis based on these facial images is performed. Although the shape diagnosis apparatus to be performed is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2009-0125359, since the shape of the face changes according to the nutritional state or the momentum, it can be considered that it is difficult to perform accurate shape determination only by the face image. In other words, the data acquired from the facial image when the subject is obese and the data obtained from the facial image when normal weight may be different. Therefore, the present inventors have considered the skeletal structure of the head, that is, the head, at the same time. Shape diagnostics have been developed to enable shape determination.

It is also possible to display various variable values calculated by the above, and also to display the shape diagnosis results for the subject.

2 is a view illustrating a configuration of an embodiment of a shape diagnosis system having the shape diagnosis device. In the shape diagnosis system according to the present invention, the face diagnosis device and the shape diagnosis device 100 have the face images and the X-rays. And an image acquirer 10 for providing an image.

The image acquirer 10 may include a camera 11 for photographing a face image and an X-ray photographing machine 12 for photographing an X-ray image, and the camera 11 and the X-ray photographing machine 12 may be separately installed. As shown in Figure 3 may be mounted on one body.

The facial image and / or X-ray image obtained by the image acquirer 10 is transmitted to the shape diagnosis apparatus 100, and more particularly, the data is stored to the shape diagnosis apparatus 100 via wire or wirelessly. It is stored temporarily or permanently in the unit (110).

In the present embodiment, the camera 11 is a device for acquiring a face image of a subject as a 3D image (three-dimensional stereoscopic image), the face image of the subject is transmitted to the shape diagnostic device as digital information.

In other words, the camera 11 is a three-dimensional camera or other three-dimensional scanner capable of acquiring a stereoscopic image. Specifically, the camera 11 is a 480 X 640 pixel three-dimensional camera using a spatial division encoding optical scanning method and an IEEE 1394 image transmission interface. Etc. may be used, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, the X-ray imaging apparatus 12 is an apparatus for acquiring a skull image of a subject by scanning X-rays. Since the imaging method and the device configuration itself are generally known, additional description thereof will be omitted.

In more detail, the shape diagnosis control unit 120 reconstructs the face image of the examinee into a three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image by using information input from the camera 11, that is, facial image information, and at a specific position. Allow facial feature points to point.

Hereinafter, first front surface index points obtained from the face front image and first side surface points obtained from the face side image will be described as examples of the facial feature points.

The facial feature points are 'singular points of the face' for extracting facial features necessary for shape diagnosis, and mean points corresponding to specific points of the facial image. In the embodiment, the measurement items were set based on the Martin measurement method by referring to a known paper, and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines six head measurement items in relation to the human body measurement.

The metrics set by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG-4) can be broadly divided into FDP (Facial Definition Parameter) and FAP (Facial Animation Parameter) .The FDP consists of 84 feature points with a total of 84 three-dimensional coordinate values. It is defined as nine groups representing eyebrows, nose, mouth, jaw, cheek, tongue, teeth, ears, head, and head. Here, the FAP is composed of a total of 68 feature points, and may define facial expressions and mouth movements in the movement of facial muscles. As examples of facial feature points used in the present invention, the measurement items used in Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG-4) are applied mutatis mutandis to 36 front and side surfaces as disclosed in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0125359. Twenty six facial feature points were set.

In FIG. 4, S1 is a right pupil, S2 is a left pupil, S3 is a left ear, L1 is a presentation point, L2 is a non-dot, L3 is a lower jaw point, L4 is a lower left jaw point, 1.1 is an upper right eyebrow point, 1.2 is a left eyebrow 4, the left photograph of FIG. 4 is a facial feature point, that is, a first front index point, in a face front image, and the right photograph of FIG. 4 is a facial feature point, that is, a first side index in a face side image. The points are pointing.

The first front surface indices and the first side surface indices are detected as coordinates on a 3D image, and the coordinate values for each index point are stored in the data storage unit 110. The shape diagnosis control unit 120 calculates the length or area of the face using the face data, that is, the coordinate value, and calculates the value as a variable value (first variable value) of a function for shape diagnosis.

The facial singularity required for shape diagnosis, that is, the position of facial feature points is known in shape diagnosis medicine, and the present invention outputs accurate results by using the facial feature points and skeletal feature points respectively pointed to the face image and the X-ray image, and particularly X-rays. It is characterized by supplementing the accuracy of shape diagnosis using images.

Next, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the skeletal feature points are the front indicators (hereinafter referred to as 'second front indicators') pointing to the skull front image and the side indicators pointing to the skull side image ( Hereinafter referred to as 'second side indicators'.

Examples of the second front indicators include, as shown in FIG. 5, a point pointing to the left and right cheekbones, a position corresponding to the left and right pupils, a point pointing to the lower boundary of the mandible, and a presentation point. There is a point that is pointed at a position corresponding to L1.

As an example of the second side index point, as shown in FIG. 6, a point pointing to one side cheekbone, a point pointing to the lower boundary of the mandible and a point corresponding to the presentation point L1 and , A point pointing at a position corresponding to the left main point S3, a point pointing at a position opposite to the tip of the nose, and the like.

The shape diagnosis control unit 120 may be set by pointing an index point of the X-ray image corresponding to the point L1 of the face image at a position where the position L1 of the face image is projected onto the X-ray image. The distance between the submandibular point and the presentation point and the direction of the presentation point calculated based on the submandibular point L3 of the face image is calculated, and based on this, the same distance as the same distance from the soft tissue jaw end point (not shown) of the X-ray image. Various methods may be applied, such as pointing an index point of an X-ray image corresponding to the announcement point L1 in a direction.

The skeletal data obtained through the X-ray image of the subject does not change even when the subject is obese or underweight, and can be used as stable data even when the implant is inserted into the face for plastic surgery. The shape diagnosis may be performed based on the skeleton shape of the skull together with the shape.

That is, by selectively extracting the coordinates of the skeleton data, that is, the second front surface points and the second side surface points, a variable value (second variable value) such as an area and a length of the front face of the skull can be calculated therefrom. Based on this, shape judgment is supplemented.

The second front indicators and the second side indicators may be automatically pointed by a shape diagnosis program installed in the shape diagnosis device, or may be pointed by a user using an interface such as a mouse.

As described above, the present invention can detect facial morphological features using a three-dimensional face image and a skeletal image. In the conventional case, face measurement was performed using a horizontal ruler or a tape measure to measure the distance between facial singularities or the angle of a specific part while the subject was lying on the subject, and the measurement range was changed according to the posture of the subject. Although there has been a problem due to discomfort caused by physical contact with a measurer (doctor, etc.), the present invention can use the X-ray image together with the facial image by the camera 11, so that the change in facial shape due to obesity or underweight, etc. It becomes possible to cope.

(B1) calculating a second variable value including at least one of a length, an angle, and an area for shape diagnosis, and performing a numerical comparison for shape diagnosis using the first variable value and the second variable value ( b2).

In addition, the present invention may compare the results of the numerical comparison with the reference data of the predetermined shape judgment to determine the shape of the carrier-bladder, mental blood donation, ileal shape, and pedicle shape and output the result. At this time, when the result of determining the shape obtained from the skeleton data and the result of determining the shape obtained from the facial data are different, the result may be output through a screen or a printer.

On the other hand, the present invention may be provided in the form of a computer-readable recording medium which records a shape diagnosis program using a face image and an X-ray image for functioning a computer as a storage means, a control means and a display means.
