METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING SCOLIOSIS USING CAMERA

The present invention provides a method for determining scoliosis using a camera. The method comprises the steps of acquiring an image including an abdomen part of a user by a camera in a preset distance when a scoliosis level measurement mode is executed to recognize a spinal curvature condition; recognizing the abdomen part from the acquired image, and extracting the recognized abdomen part region; performing a primary interpolation of the extracted abdomen part image based on a preset image processing algorithm; performing a secondary interpolation of the primarily interpolated abdomen part image based on the redistribution of a brightness value distribution; and acquiring condition information by determining first and second preset part positions from the secondarily interpolated abdomen part image, and determining a level of scoliosis by calculating scoliosis level data through the acquired condition information by parts.
