Abstract:
With the continual progress in modern analytical technology and in-depth systematic study of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fingerprint is being gradually accepted for quality control. Fingerprint contains plenty of incognizable and potent data that reflect the intrinsic chemical information of TCM, how to discover and exploit these data is particularly important. The fingerprint pattern recognition of TCM that based on chemometric and computer science can recognize these data and variable characteristics, which makes it possible to control the quality of TCM. This paper reviews the advances in the pattern recognition research on fingerprint of TCM in recent years.
