Abstract

Dental radiographs are essential in oral diagnostic procedures. This paper presents a new method for segmentation and object detection of dental radiograph images based on phase congruency. This phase congruency based approach provides local image structure and is invariant to image scaling, rotation, translation, variable lightning conditions, as well as process noise. Comparative experimental results and quantitative measures show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
