Abstract
Disclosed techniques include radiograph analysis based on Mach band effects. A dental radiographic image is obtained. A high contrast structure on the image is detected. The high contrast structure comprises a radiopaque structure. The structure is analyzed to identify a dental restoration. Contrast is evaluated for the presence of Mach band effects from the dental restoration. A boundary for the dental restoration is determined based on the analyzing and the evaluating. The image is colorized to display the dental restoration based on the boundary that was determined wherein the color for the dental restoration is represented as a darker color than originally on the image.
