Application of V-detector in dental diagnosis To be submitted to CEC 2006
background • Malocclusion – diagnosis using X-ray • V-detector – one-class classification
malocclusion • Different types: I (normal bite), II (overbite), and III (underbite) • Mild or severe (functional)
Existing diagnosis method • Angle’s classification: angle ANB (3 in the picture) N A B
Feature extraction • Brightness distribution instead of entity identification • Binarization at multiple threshold • Quantitatize each binary image with four real numbers
Choose thresholds & decide reference point • T0 = Vmax, • T1 = Vmax − (Vmax − Vmin)/nT , • ..., • TnT−1 = Vmax − (nT − 1)(Vmax − Vmin)/nT , Binarized at the highest threshold
Extract four featuresat each threshold (a) Horizontal displacement x = xwhite − x0, (b) Vertical displacement y = ywhite − y0, (c) Displacement distance r = mean of distances between white pixels to (x0, y0) (d) Area mass A = total number of white pixel/width · height
summary • A novel feature extraction is proposed. • V-detector shows some potentials. • Issue: a lot more normal data are desired.
