Method, apparatus, acupuncture robot, and storage medium for recognizing ear acupoint reflex zones

An apparatus for recognizing ear acupoint reflex zones, which is used to recognize an ear image based on a hierarchical deep convolutional network model to obtain multiple ear acupoint reflex zones, wherein the hierarchical deep convolutional network model comprises a coarse-grained segmentation module and a fine-grained segmentation module;

• the apparatus comprises:
• coarse-grained segmentation unit, configured to perform coarse-grained segmentation on the ear image based on the coarse-grained segmentation module to obtain an ear structure segmentation map and an ear functional area segmentation map;
• accuracy determination unit, configured to determine the accuracy of the ear functional area segmentation map based on the ear structure segmentation map;
• fine-grained segmentation unit, configured to perform fine-grained segmentation on the ear functional area segmentation map based on the fine-grained segmentation module to obtain the multiple ear acupoint reflex zones when the ear functional area segmentation map is accurate;
• the ear structure segmentation map comprises multiple ear structure regions, and the ear functional area segmentation map comprises multiple ear functional areas;
• wherein determining the accuracy of the ear functional area segmentation map based on the ear structure segmentation map, comprises:
• determining an inclusion relationship between the ear structure regions and the ear functional areas;
• determining whether the inclusion relationship conforms to a theoretical inclusion relationship;
• when the inclusion relationship conforms to the theoretical inclusion relationship, determining that the ear functional area segmentation map is accurate;
• when the inclusion relationship does not conform to the theoretical inclusion relationship, determining that the ear functional area segmentation map is inaccurate;
• the multiple ear structure regions comprise an earlobe region, a concha region, a scapha region, an antihelix region, a triangular fossa region, and a helix region;
• the multiple ear functional areas comprise a head and neck functional area, a circulatory functional area, a respiratory functional area, an endocrine functional area, a digestive functional area, a trunk functional area, an upper limb functional area, a spinal functional area, a lower limb functional area, a urinary functional area, a reproductive functional area, and a neural functional area;
• the theoretical inclusion relationship is:
• the head and neck functional area is located in the earlobe region and the helix region;
• the circulatory functional area, the respiratory functional area, and the endocrine functional area are located in the concha region;
• the trunk functional area, the spinal functional area, and the lower limb functional area are located in the antihelix region;
• the upper limb functional area is located in the scapha region;
• the reproductive functional area is located in the triangular fossa region;
• the digestive functional area is located in the antihelix region and the concha region;
• the urinary functional area is located in the helix region and the concha region;
• the neural functional area is located in the antihelix region and the triangular fossa region.
