ABSTRACT

1. Objectives In order to classify an individual into four constitution type, an oriental medical doctor utilizes various information such as face, pulse, voice, and questionnaire. When only one type of information is used, one's constitution may not be decided correctly. 2. Methods In this paper, we propose a novel four constitution types classifier using facial images which classifies subjects into indecision group as well as Taeumin, Soeumin, and Soyangin. 3. Results Experimental results show that it increases the classification rate though the decision rate is rather decreased, which is more effective and reliable than conventional classifiers without indecision. 4. Conclusion For the effective classification, we have found that it is more useful to add an indecision group which requires more information to be properly classified into one constitution type.
