A Nail Image Analysis Method to Evaluate Accumulated Stress Using Fuzzy Reasoning

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a nail image analysis method to evaluate accumulated stress using fuzzy reasoning. The proposed method consists of three stages: measurement, feature extraction, and stress evaluation. In the measurement, we take a nail image. In the feature detection, we extract the lunula of the nail to calculate its height. In the stress evaluation, we evaluate accumulated stress using fuzzy reasoning. The experimental results suggest that the proposed method can determine the presence or absence of accumulated stress.
