Creating Database With Image Processing Methods From Dental X-Ray

Abstract

The characteristic distinguishing features of a person define that person. With these characteristics, a person can be distinguished from other persons. Forensic sciences have to identify individuals in some cases. In identification, dental images are frequently used today, especially in age and gender determination procedures. In this study, a data base was created in which panoramic dental x-ray images could be used to identify people. By removing the borders from panoramic dental X-ray images, a total of 1313 dental images and 162 distinct tooth groups were generated. These images have undergone pre-processing to achieve improved results. Preprocessed images are saved in a folder. The preprocessed images are corrected with a novel and originally developed rotation algorithm. The application was developed in C # programming language.
