Teeth labeling from CBCT data using the Circular Hough Transform

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the possibilities to detect and label straightforward the teeth in Cone Beam Computed Tomography images, without performing complex segmentation procedures on teeth. We are using the Circular Hough Transform (CHT) to find the teeth positions, segmentation using intensity level to determine the mandible and deformable templates to find the best fit position for the teeth on the mandible. The dental arch is split into 16 regions and the teeth are labeled by their position in a given region.
