Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Along with the development of science and technology, the traditional emergency wards monitoring equipment identification system is gradually backward; it does not meet the emergency care needs very well.
OBJECTIVE: To propose a new color segmentation method for monitoring devices used in hospital emergency, and to improve the previous instrument identification system by adding a new color image segmentation method to the traditional instrument recognition system for monitoring devices.
METHODS: The appropriate threshold was used to get the right scale part directly, by histogram and chromatic aberration analysis in HSI space.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Through a great deal of experiments, this method fully uses the color information, its speed is quick, effect is good, and error rate is very small. It is very suitable to apply in the hospital emergency medical treatment ward guardianship equipment's recognition analysis.
