Efficient Semi-supervised Tooth Instance Segmentation in Panoramic X-Rays Using ResUnet50 and SAM Networks
摘要
In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised approach using a ResUnet50-based deep learning model for tooth instance segmentation in 2D panoramic X-ray images. Unlabeled data was leveraged through pseudo-label generation to enhance model performance. Our method was evaluated on the STS 2024 Challenge dataset, achieving an average Dice score of 79.15% at the image-level and 45.58% at the instance-level. Additionally, it demonstrated competitive performance with IoU scores of 83.90% and 39.29%, respectively. The model efficiently segmented individual teeth, although challenges remain in cases with implants and other high-density artifacts. The average running time for processing each image was 10 s, and the model was trained using an NVIDIA Tesla V100-SXM2 GPU. Despite these promising results, future work will focus on improving instance-level segmentation accuracy, particularly in challenging cases. The code is available at http://github.com/Guo777777 .
