There are several processes to analysis the medical images which the segmentation process is one of the challenging and most important step. In this paper the segmentation method proposed in order to segment the dental radiograph images. Thresholding method has been applied to simplify the images and to morphologically open binary image technique performed to eliminate the unnecessary regions on images. Furthermore, horizontal and vertical integral projection techniques used to extract the each individual tooth from radiograph images. Segmentation process has been done by applying the level set method on each extracted images. Nevertheless, the experiments results by 90% accuracy demonstrate that proposed method achieves high accuracy and promising result.

In order to develop efficient means of analyzing and using the kinnect data, researchers require high quality of depth data during the preprocessing step, which is very crucial for accurate results. One of the most important concerns of researchers is to eliminate image noise and convert image and video to the best quality. In this paper, different types of the noise for Kinect are analyzed and a unique technique is used, to reduce the background noise based on distance between Kinect devise and the user. Whereas, for shadow removal, the iterative method is used to eliminate the shadow casted by the Kinect. A 3D depth image is obtained as a result with good quality and accuracy. Further, the results of this present study reveal that the image background is eliminated completely and the 3D image quality in dept...

Hence the main issue in dental image analysis is the lack of available image database which is provided in this paper. Periapical dental X-ray images which are suitable for any analysis and approved by many dental experts are collected. This type of dental radiograph imaging is common and inexpensive, which is normally used for dental disease diagnosis and abnormalities detection. Database contains 120 various Periapical X-ray images from top to bottom jaw. Dental digital database is constructed to provide the source for researchers to use and compare the image analysis techniques and improve or manipulate the performance of each technique.

Level set methods have effective result on medical and dental image segmentation. Initial Contour (IC) is the essential step in level set image segmentation methods due to start the efficient process. However, the main issue with IC is how to generate the automatic technique in order to reduce the human interaction and moreover, suitable IC to have accurate result. In this paper a new region-based technique for IC generation, is proposed to overcome this issue. The idea is to generate the most suitable IC since the manual initialization of the level set function surface is a well-known drawback for accurate segmentation which has dependency on selection of IC and wrong selection will affect the result. We have utilized the statistical and morphological information inside and outside the contour to establish a region-based map function. This function is able to find the suitable IC on images to perform by level set methods. Experiments on dental x-ray images demonstrate the robustness of segmentation process using proposed method even on noisy images and with weak boundary. Furthermore, computational cost of segmentation process will be reduced.

Human hands play an important role in different applications such as medical image processing, sign language translator, gesture recognition and augmented reality. A human hand has different length and breadth for male and female. So, it is a complex articulated object consisting many connected parts and joints. Traditional methods for hand detection and tracking used color and shape information from RGB camera. Using a depth camera for hand detection and tracking is a challenging and interesting domain in computer vision. Some research has shown that using depth data for hand detection can improve human computer interaction. Recently, researchers used depth data in different hand detection and tracking methods in real time application. This paper explains different types of methods which are used for human hand detection. Various techniques and methods are explored and anal...
