Abstract

This paper presented an approach for segmenting dental tooth images based on multiple linear regression correlates with normalized RGB values, which provides preparatory work to form a complete progress for dental plaque quantification. The approach was applied to clinical dental tooth images. The experimental results showed that this method provided objective, and time-saving segmentations compared with those of traditional multiple linear regression correlates with RGB values. Dilation and erosion techniques are used to increase the efficacy of the dental tooth image processing.
