This study introduces two methods for creating 3D jaw models from intra-oral images. The space carving technique achieved sub-millimeter accuracy, proving effective for dental applications.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate three-dimensional (3D) modeling of the human jaw is crucial for advancing dental and maxillofacial research.
  • Traditional methods often rely on physical casts, limiting digital integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and evaluate two practical techniques for 3D jaw modeling using intra-oral images.
  • To compare the accuracy and feasibility of shape from shading (SFS) and space carving (SC) methods.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a data acquisition system with a 3D digitizing arm, CCD camera, and laser projector.
  • Implemented and compared SFS and SC techniques for 3D jaw reconstruction.
  • Utilized perspective projection, camera calibration, data fusion, and 3D registration.

Main Results:

  • The space carving (SC) algorithm reconstructed 3D jaw models with sub-millimeter accuracy (average error of 0.74 mm).
  • SC demonstrated comparable or superior accuracy to SFS without requiring range measurements or laser projectors.
  • SFS showed promise for capturing detailed tooth surface information.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate 3D reconstruction of the human jaw is achievable using computer vision techniques.
  • Digital jaw models facilitate direct application of research findings using computer vision and medical imaging tools.
  • The SC method offers a practical and accurate solution for creating digital dental models.
