Abstract
In Chapter 1, we have defined the taxonomy of biometrics by Application Type, which covers four application categories: Personal Identification, Medical Diagnosis, Future Expectation and Ethnology exploration. As a first attempt to medical diagnosis, in this chapter, we apply biometrics technology to Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is introduces in Section 14.1. Then, four kinds of Chinese diagnosis methods are discussed. Section 14.3 provides the various observation types in TCM. Based on our previous works, a tongue diagnosis system is finally presented.
