Numbering permanent and deciduous teeth via deep instance segmentation in panoramic X-rays

In this repo, you will find the instructions on how to request the data set used to perform the experiments of the aforementioned paper. We manually annotated from scratch a subset of 450 images from the UFBA-UESC Dental Images Deep data set, which comprises 1500 panoramic dental radiographs. We consider that this new data set evolves a previously published data set: DNS Panoramic Images. Therefore, we refer to this new data set as the DNS Panoramic Images v2, where DNS stands for Detection, Numbering, and Segmentation. We presented our results at the 17th International Symposium on Medical Information Processing and Analysis (SIPAIM), and our paper was among the finalists of the best paper award. To be notified of code releases, new data sets, and errata, please watch this repo.

Data set statistics

The data set comprises 450 panoramic images, split into six folds, each containing 75 images. The first five folds were used for cross-validation, while the remaining one constituted the test data set. Therefore, we strongly recommend using fold number 6 (fold-06) as the test data set, so your results can be compared to ours. The annotations are in six JSON files (one for each fold) in the COCO format. We cropped all images to the new 1876x1036 dimensions and converted them to PNG image files. The table below summarizes the data used according to image categories. These categories group the images according to the presence of 32 teeth, restoration, and dental appliances, revealing the high variability of the images. Categories 5 and 6 are reserved for patients with dental implants and more than 32 teeth, respectively. Spoiler: Watch this repo for soon to be published updates.
