acusim: a synthetic dataset for cervicocranial acupuncture points localisation

The locations of acupuncture points (acupoints) differ among human
individuals due to variations in factors such as height, weight, and fat
proportions. However, acupoint annotation is expert-dependent,
labour-intensive, and highly expensive, which limits the data size and
detection accuracy. In this paper, we introduce the "AcuSim"
dataset as a new synthetic dataset for the task of localising points on
the human cervicocranial area from an input image using an automatic
render and labelling pipeline during acupuncture treatment. It includes
the creation of 63,936 RGB-D images and 504 synthetic anatomical models
with 174 volumetric acupoints annotated, to capture the variability and
diversity of human anatomies. The study validates a convolutional neural
network (CNN) on the proposed dataset with an accuracy of 99.73% and shows
that 92.86% of predictions in the validation set align within a 5mm
threshold of margin error when compared to expert-annotated data. This
dataset addresses the limitations of prior datasets and can be applied to
applications of acupoint detection and visualization, further advancing
automation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
