Abstract: Tongue diagnosis is carried out using MATLAB Software on tongue images having cracks and the results gives the problems associated with the given tongue image. The human tongue carries information about the status of health of a person. A crack on the tongue is also called as a scrotal tongue or fissured tongue, is a condition by deep groves in the dorsum of the tongue. The major areas that we examine for tongue diagnosis are shape, color and cracks on the tongue. Chronic disorders are also revealed by cracks on the tongue. Thus a crack on the images of tongue tells the health condition of a human being. A deep crack in the center reaching to the tip reflects hyper activity of Heart fire. Cracks in the center line reveal back problems. If cracks exhibited horizontally, then it is caused to deep and long standing emotional problems. One crack down in the middle is an indication of nerve disorder. If the crack extends to the tip of the tongue then heart and lungs may be stressed.
