Abstract

This paper presents a new, practical approach for 3D reconstruction of the human jaw from a sequence of intra-oral images. This research has an immense value in various dental practices including implants, tooth alignment, and craniofacial surgery. Our approach is based on the recently-proposed space carving algorithm for shape recovery. This algorithm provides more flexibility to the reconstruction process and eliminates several constrains imposed by other traditional approaches such as stereo and shape from shading. Our experimental results have shown that the approach is able to reconstruct 3D models of the human jaw with sub-millimeter accuracy.
