Abstract: A patient health management platform accesses a metabolic profile for a patient and biosignals recorded for the patient during a current time period comprising sensor data and/or lab test data collected for the patient. The platform receives patient data recorded during the current time period comprising food items consumed, medications taken, and symptoms experienced by the patient. The platform implements a machine-learned metabolic model to determine a metabolic state of the patient at a conclusion of the current time period by comparing a true representation of the metabolic state and a prediction of the metabolic state. The true representation and the prediction are determined based on the recorded biosignals and the recorded patient data, respectively. The platform generates a patient-specific treatment recommendation outlining instructions for the patient to improve their metabolic state and provides the patient-specific treatment recommendation to the patient device for display to the patient.

Firstly performs image acquisition: the left and right high-resolution grayscale cameras are fixed at same height and spaced at certain distance, an optical transmitter fixed between the two grayscale cameras, and low-resolution color camera fixed above optical transmitter, thus images of measured high-precision mechanical component are shot. Then performs image processing: all images are transmitted to a computer, which uses image processing to record surface information of measured high-precision mechanical component in the point cloud by high-precision true color three-dimensional reconstruction, which reflects color texture information of the surface, so as to realize the non-contact high-precision true color three dimensional reconstruction of high-precision mechanical component.
