In order to accurately localize the image coordinates and serial numbers of intraoperative subdural matrix electrodes, a matrix electrode localization algorithm for image processing is proposed in this paper. Firstly, by using point-by-point extended electrode location algorithm, the electrode is expanded point-by-point vertically and horizontally, and the initial coordinates and serial numbers of each electrode are determined. Secondly, the single electrode coordinate region extraction algorithm is used to determine the best coordinates of each electrode, so that the image coordinates and serial numbers of all electrodes are determined point-by-point. The results show that the positioning accuracy of electrode serial number is 100%, and the electrode coordinate positioning error is less than 2 mm. The algorithms in this paper can accurately localize the image coordinates and the serial numbers of a matrix electrode arranged in an arc, which could aid drawing of cortical function mapping, and achieve precise positioning of brain functional areas, so that it can be widely used in neuroscience research and clinical application based on electrocorticogram analysis.
