Computer aided orthodontics measures evaluation

The paper is devoted to analysis of orthodontic images and to new mathematical methods for evaluation of their characteristics. The main goal of the paper is in analysis of three-dimensional objects to enable numerical evaluation of measures important for the study of the appropriate treatment after dental operations. Methods presented include (i) computer analysis of a single image based upon its de-noising followed by a thresholding and image components detection and (ii) presentation of tools for the three dimensional modelling using the double camera system. Proposed algorithms allow semi-automatic evaluation of measures between selected objects.
