  • Patent number: 11908136
    Abstract: A respiratory status classifying method is for classifying as one of at least two respiratory statuses and includes an original physiological parameter inputting step, an original chest image inputting step, a characteristic physiological parameter generating step, a characteristic chest image generating step, a training step and a classifier generating step. The characteristic chest image generating step includes processing at least a part of the original chest images, segmenting images of a left lung, a right lung and a heart from each of the original chest images that are processed, and enhancing image data of the images being segmented, so as to generate a plurality of characteristic chest images. The training step includes training two respiratory status classifiers using a plurality of characteristic physiological parameters and the characteristic chest images by at least one machine learning algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20230196737
    Abstract: An image recognition method and an electronic apparatus configured for image recognition are provided. A training sample set is provided to train a recognition model including neural networks to recognize a classification label to which an image to be tested belongs through the trained recognition model. The training sample set includes image sets respectively belonging to users. During the training process, training images corresponding to classification labels are obtained from a first image set in the training sample set as reference images for training; a training image is obtained from a second image set different from the first image set as an input image for training; the reference images for training and the input image for training are obtained as inputs to the neural networks for training. The input to each neural network includes at least one of the reference images for training and the input image for training.
