  • Patent number: 12364646
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for locating head side acupuncture points, a moxibustion robot, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: training an acupuncture point identification model based on a head side acupuncture point sample set to obtain a target acupuncture point identification model, where the head side acupuncture point sample set includes a plurality of acupuncture point sample points and a plurality of support sample points in a curve of gallbladder meridian of foot-shaoyang; inputting a head side image to be identified to the target acupuncture point identification model to obtain a plurality of acupuncture points and a plurality of support points; fitting the plurality of acupuncture points and the plurality of support points to obtain a fitted curve; and determining whether the acupuncture points require correction based on the fitted curve, if yes, correcting the acupuncture points based on the fitted curve to obtain target acupuncture points.

  • Patent number: 12274667
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying back acupuncture points, and a moxibustion robot are provided, which belong to the technical field of identification of acupuncture points. The method includes: acquiring skeleton key feature points of a human body image, and identifying a plurality of back meridians on a back based on the skeleton key feature points; identifying a plurality of thoracic vertebra positions and a plurality of lumbar vertebra positions of the human body image based on the skeleton key feature points; and identifying back acupuncture points based on the plurality of thoracic vertebra positions, the plurality of lumbar vertebra positions, and the back meridians. Manual marking is not required, and the thoracic vertebra positions and the lumbar vertebra positions are used as references for the back acupuncture points. The accuracies of the identified back acupuncture points are improved.

  • Patent number: 12266206
    Abstract: A hand acupoint positioning method, device, acupuncture robot and storage medium, which comprises: obtaining reflex zones of a hand image and topology relationship of hand acupoints; splicing the reflex zones, the topology relationship and the hand image to obtain a hand splicing image; inputing the hand splicing image into an acupoint recognition model to obtain the hand acupoints. The invention uses reflex zones as auxiliary information and topology relationship as priority knowledge. More context information can be added to the hand acupoint positioning process, which improves the positioning accuracy of the hand acupoints.

  • Patent number: 12260673
    Abstract: The present invention provides a facial acupoint locating method, an acupuncture method, an acupuncture robot, and a storage medium. The facial acupoint locating method includes: collecting an RGB image and a depth image of a face by using a depth camera, and generating three-dimensional point cloud data of the face based on the RGB image and the depth image; inputting the three-dimensional point cloud data of the face into a trained face segmentation model to obtain a plurality of facial feature regions, where the plurality of the facial feature regions include eyebrow regions, eye regions, a nose region, and a mouth region; and acquiring an association relationship between the plurality of the facial feature regions and key acupoint points, and determining locations of the facial acupoints based on the association relationship and the plurality of the facial feature regions.
