Abstract
Provided are an intraoral image processing method and an intraoral image processing apparatus. The intraoral image processing method includes obtaining an intraoral image generated by scanning teeth, segmenting teeth of the intraoral image, generating a customized curve based on one or more teeth included in the intraoral image, and obtaining a final position of teeth by arranging teeth segmented from the intraoral image to be aligned with the customized curve.
Claims14
A method of processing an intraoral image, the method comprising:
- obtaining an intraoral image generated by scanning teeth;
- segmenting teeth of the intraoral image;
- determining a predefined number of reference teeth from among the teeth included in the intraoral image based on predetermined criteria;
- determining whether to adjust the position of at least one reference tooth, and adjusting the position of the at least one reference tooth, which is determined to be adjusted;
- generating a customized curve based on the reference teeth including the at least one reference tooth whose position is adjusted, by moving the position of the reference tooth such that an angle formed between the reference tooth and teeth adjacent to the reference tooth is equal to or greater than a certain angle;
- and
- obtaining a final position of teeth by arranging teeth segmented from the intraoral image to be aligned with the customized curve.
An apparatus for processing an intraoral image, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to execute one or more instructions stored in the memory to obtain an intraoral image generated by scanning teeth,
- segment teeth of the intraoral image,
- determine a predefined number of reference teeth from among the teeth included in the intraoral image based on predetermined criteria,
- determine whether to adjust the position of at least one reference tooth, and adjust the position of the at least one reference tooth, which is determined to be adjusted, by moving the position of the reference tooth such that an angle formed between the reference tooth and teeth adjacent to the reference tooth is equal to or greater than a certain angle,
- generate a customized curve based on the reference teeth including the at least one reference tooth whose position is adjusted, and
- obtain a final position of teeth by arranging teeth segmented from the intraoral image to be aligned with the customized curve.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program including at least one instruction for performing an intraoral image processing method by a computer, the intraoral image processing method comprising:
- obtaining an intraoral image generated by scanning teeth;
- segmenting teeth of the intraoral image;
- determining a predefined number of reference teeth from among the teeth included in the intraoral image based on predetermined criteria;
- determining whether to adjust the position of at least one reference tooth, and adjusting the position of the at least one reference tooth, which is determined to be adjusted, by moving the position of the reference tooth such that an angle formed between the reference tooth and teeth adjacent to the reference tooth is equal to or greater than a certain angle;
- generating a customized curve based on the reference teeth including the at least one reference tooth whose position is adjusted;
- and
- obtaining a final position of teeth by arranging teeth segmented from the intraoral image to be aligned with the customized curve.
