Convolutional Neural Network-Based Multi-scale Semantic Segmentation for Two-Dimensional Panoramic X-Rays of Teeth
摘要
In this study, we propose a semantic segmentation framework based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) aimed at segmenting teeth in 2D panoramic radiographs. To enhance the model’s performance, we adopt a data augmentation strategy based on the combination of Mosaic and multi-scale image scaling, which significantly enriches the training set samples. Additionally, we propose a post-processing strategy based on the model’s prediction probability map to address the issue of inaccurate points predicted by the model. The proposed framework is tested and evaluated on 2D panoramic radiographs, including 1000 unlabeled radiographs. The Dice coefficient, Intersection over Union (IoU), and \(1-H(d)\) achieve 0.9341, 0.9814, and 0.0244, respectively, resulting in a total score of 0.9607, ranking fifth on the leaderboard. This demonstrates the superiority of the proposed framework in tooth segmentation of 2D panoramic radiographs.
