Abstract

This paper presents a quick monitor method to measure micro height variations directly. Here we apply optical moiré technology with a program designed by ourselves to Traditional Chinese Medical Pulse diagnosis. We analyze the moiré pattern which records the information of pulse, and then examine the conditions of pulse, the conditions of pulse including the location of pulse (by image processing the moiré pattern), the rhythm of pulse (via the frequency), the shape of pulse (via moiré pattern) and the strength of pulse (via amplitude intensity). Therefore, we can quantify the conditions of pulse by the system.
