I'm very new to the image processing and object detection. I'd like to extract/identify the position and dimensions of teeth in the following image:
Here's what I've tried so far using OpenCV:
import cv2
import numpy as np
planets = cv2.imread('model.png', 0)
canny = cv2.Canny(planets, 70, 150)
circles = cv2.HoughCircles(canny,cv2.HOUGH_GRADIENT,1,40, param1=10,param2=16,minRadius=10,maxRadius=80)
circles = np.uint16(np.around(circles))
for i in circles[0,:]:
# draw the outer circle
cv2.circle(planets,(i[0],i[1]),i[2],(255,0,0),2)
# draw the center of the circle
cv2.circle(planets,(i[0],i[1]),2,(255,0,0),3)
cv2.imshow("HoughCirlces", planets)
cv2.waitKey()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
This is what I get after applying canny filter:
I don't know where to go from here. I'd like to get all of the teeth identified. How can I do that?
I'd really appreciate any help..
Note that the teeth-structure is more-or-less a parabola (upside-down). If you could somehow guess the parabolic shape that defines the centroids of those blobs (teeth), then your problem could be simplified to a reasonable extent. I have shown a red line that passes through the centers of the teeth.
I would suggest you to approach it as follows:
sklearn.preprocessing.binarize
.structure_centroid
. See this: How to center the nonzero values within 2D numpy array? . structure_centroid
. I have shown a cartoon image of such polar slices (triangular semi-transparent). Cover complete 360 degrees. See this: polarTransform
library .centroid_path
.centroid_path
. Use a threshold distance to drop the outliers.This should give you a good approximation of the teeth with the circles.
I hope this helps.
