- Abstract:

Scoliosis is an abnormal deformity of the spine, and if left untreated, may eventually lead to severe health problems. X-rays and surface appearance measurements of the human body can be used to screen scoliosis; however, the existing methods pose several limitations, including high cost, low efficiency, and limited suitability for all patients. Herein, a scoliosis screening method is proposed based on a lightweight human pose estimation network. First, using the first 13 layers of MobileNetV3 as the encoder of the lightweight human pose estimation network, the two-dimensional coordinates of coilas can be obtained by coordinate decoding. Second, the coordinates of each coila are used to calculate the spatial features of the human body posture. Finally, scoliosis is graded in detail with three support vector machine binary classifiers, and the trained posture estimation and scoliosis screening models are transplanted into the embedded platform. The experimental results reveal that the system can screen four different degrees of scoliosis, with accuracy rates of 93.0%, 81.7%, 81.3%, and 86.6%. This proposed method provides a convenient solution for scoliosis screening and can be easily disseminated within national health survey work.
