在本文中，我们提出了一种使用彩色图表的彩色再现方法来提高远程医疗系统的色彩质量。由于COVID-19的传播，为了更有效地预防感染，对远程医疗的需求正在迅速增加。然而，在传统的日本（汉布）医学中，颜色被用作重要的检查因素，如果没有足够的颜色再现，就无法做出准确的诊断。在使用市售智能手机的远程医疗中，由于设备和照明的差异，颜色再现性可能会恶化，这可能导致误诊。因此，我们制作了一个包含人类皮肤和舌头颜色的颜色图表，作为帮助医生在进行远程医疗检查时更准确地识别患者颜色的工具。通过8位医生的主观评价，一致认为所提出的方法在颜色检查方面是实用的。所开发的颜色表也可用于自动色彩校正。
In this paper, we propose a color reproduction method using color charts to improve the color quality of a telemedicine system. Owing to the spread of COVID-19, the need for telemedicine is rapidly increasing to prevent infections more effectively. However, in practices such as traditional Japanese (Kampo) medicine, where color is used as an important examination factor, an accurate diagnosis cannot be made without adequate color reproduction. In telemedicine using a commercially available smartphone, color reproducibility may deteriorate owing to differences in the devices and lighting, which may result in a misdiagnosis. Therefore, we created a color chart that includes the colors of the human skin and tongue as a tool to help doctors identify the color of patients more accurately when conducting a telemedicine examination. Through a subjective evaluation by eight medical doctors, it was unanimously found that the proposed method is practical in terms of a color examination. The developed color chart can also be used for an automatic color correction.
