Abstract

It is a common approach to diagnose a disease based on the tongue in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In this paper, a noninvasive imaging of tongue whose surface papilla change in diabetics is used to detect the disease. The required images have been provided by Parsian specialized clinic of Mashhad. In the sampling procedure, the diabetics, healthy individuals and those suspected of diabetes with both sexes and different age groups were considered. After imaging, tongue region was segmented based on two active contour models; then extended local binary patterns features, statistical features of the tongue texture, Color Moments in different color spaces were extracted from the segmented region. After feature extraction, diabetics, healthy and suspected of diabetes were detected using extreme learning machine classification. The proposed method obtained a precision of 97.7% for the current database. Experimental results show the efficiency and responding time of the proposed method compared to other noninvasive methods.
