Research status and prospect of Chinese materia medica fingerprint database / 中草药

ABSTRACT

During the study of modernization of Chinese materia medica (CMM), the fingerprinting technology, as the model of the quality control of CMM, is gradually accepted by the world. But how to realize the fast matching, retrieval, recognition, and identification function of CMM fingerprint data is an urgent problem in the study of fingerprint. Studying and establishing CMM fingerprint database, which helps to speed up the study and application process of CMM fingerprinting technology, provides a favorable platform for the promotion and application of fingerprinting technology. This paper summarized the problems in the CMM fingerprint database research and prospected its bright future.
