Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of visible part of the human jaw is becoming required for many diagnostic and treatment procedures. The present invention improves upon Statistical Shape from Shading (SSFS) framework by using a novel approach to automatically extract prior information. This two-step framework consists of interdental gingiva regions extraction for each individual tooth and detection of the centerline across the jaw span. These two steps help extract the anatomical landmark points and detect the status of the jaw. Experimental results highlight the accuracy of the extracted prior information and how this information boosts recovering 3D models of the human jaw.
