What is Segmentation-of-Teeth-in-Panoramic-X-ray-Image-Using-U-Net?
This model represents a sophisticated approach to automatic dental analysis through semantic segmentation of teeth in panoramic X-ray images. Developed by researchers at Yeditepe University, it combines U-Net architecture with binary image analysis to provide detailed diagnostic information for dental healthcare professionals.
Implementation Details
The model employs a U-Net architecture, specifically designed for biomedical image segmentation. It processes panoramic X-ray images to perform semantic segmentation of individual teeth and measures their total length in a single pass. The implementation includes sophisticated morphological processing techniques to enhance segmentation accuracy.
