摘要：Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),as an effec-tive alternative medicine,utilizes tongue diagnosis as a major method to assess the patient's health status by examining the tongue's color,shape,and texture.Tongue images can also give the pre-disease indications without any significant dis-ease symptoms,which provides a basis for preventive med-icine and lifestyle adjustment.However,traditional tongue diagnosis has limitations,as the process may be subjective and inconsistent.Hence,computer-aided tongue diagnoses have a great potential to provide more consistent and objective health assessments.This paper reviewed the cur-rent trends in TCM tongue diagnosis,including tongue image acquisition hardware,tongue segmentation,feature extrac-tion,color correction,tongue classification,and tongue diagnosis system.We also present a case of TCM constitution classification based on tongue images.
