Abstract

Dental image analysis has attained more research interest in recent years due to their flexibility in various applications like human identification, dental disease diagnosis etc. This paper outlines a brief overview about different dental image segmentation techniques. This paper also formulated some details about different types of dental caries. Totally the outlined segmentation approaches are classified as dental image targeted segmentation approaches and the segmentation approaches based on active contour models and thresholding based methods. The shape defining for tooth image is more challenging; most of the approaches are oriented to the shape and intensity levels of dental images.  A simple comparison between different approaches is also outlined in this paper.
