Abstract
An automatic teeth whitening system analyzes digital content and detects at least one teeth region in the digital content. A teeth region refers to a region or portion of the digital content that includes teeth (e.g., human teeth), and the teeth region detection includes identifying each pixel that displays part of the teeth using instance segmentation. The automatic teeth whitening system also finds the visual structure of each tooth in the teeth region using instance contours specific to the tooth. After finding the teeth region and the visual structure of each tooth in the teeth region, a whitening process is applied to the teeth to whiten them. The whitening of the teeth is performed automatically—manual steps by the user of selecting teeth regions and coloring the teeth in those regions are avoided.
