Dental Biometrics:
this seminar describes foundations of a biometric system for semi-automatic processing and matching of dental images, with the final goal of human identification. Given a dental record, usually as a postmortem (PM) radiograph, And need to search the database of antemortem (AM) radiographs to determine the identity of the person associated with the PM image.use a semi-automatic method to extract shapes of the teeth from the AM and PM radiographs, and find the affine transform that best fits the shapes in the PM image to those in the AM images. A ranking of matching scores is generated based on the distance between the AM and PM tooth shapes. Initial experimental results on a small database of radiographs indicate that matching dental images based on tooth shapes and their relative positions is a feasible method for human identification.
