The current acupoint automatic positioning technology for massage robots is faced with issues such as dress restrictions, limited application scope, and poor positioning accuracy. A new method for human back acupoint positioning, based on back morphology classification and a multilayer perceptron network morphology classification-multilayer perceptron-based accurate point location(BMC-MPAPL) has been proposed. A substantial collection of diverse human back images, along with skeletal key point positioning techniques, kernel density estimation, and the maximum interclass variance approach, was used to investigate the statistical distribution and effective categorization of back morphologies. To counteract the restrictions imposed by clothing on positioning, a dataset encompassing key back points and the Dazhui acupoint was developed based on classification outcomes, and the automatic positioning of the Dazhui acupoint was accomplished through a deep learning model of the multi-layer perceptron network. Utilizing the Dazhui acupoint's positioning results, a human coordinate system was established, and the automatic positioning of 60 common back acupoints was achieved with the integration of ancient Chinese bone measurement methods. The results show that the Dazhui acupoint positioning model, tailored to various back morphologies, has realized high-precision positioning, with an average accuracy of 94.87% at an allowable error of 20 mm, marking a 13.37% enhancement over models without back classification. For other common back acupoints, the positioning accuracy stands at 91.58% within an allowable error of 20 mm, irrespective of patient attire or background constraints. It is concluded that the method presented effectively enhances the accuracy and applicability of acupoint automatic positioning.
