| Popis: | When permanent orthodontic braces are removed dentists typically encounter the initial phase of tooth demineralization manifesting as white spot lesions (WSL) on the teeth s smooth surfaces. We developed a prototype for automatic segmentation of teeth and WSL, which may contribute to a more accurate and objective way of treatment monitoring. In the process of development, we used different image processing techniques and image segmentation paradigms. The developed prototype was evaluated on our own image database, built from the selected images of clinical examinations since an open annotated database is difficult to obtain. The prototype showed promising results with a lot of potential for improvements in future work. |
