Radiological examination has an important role in determining the diagnosis of dental problems and making decisions about the right type of treatment according to the case indications. Dental x-ray is a medical procedure for taking pictures of the inside of the mouth using radiation fluid, where the results are used diagnostically to help the dentist see the entire structure of the jaw bone and teeth, and dental problems that cannot be seen directly. Dental radiographic interpretation, which is generally performed by dentists, is a time-consuming and error-prone process due to high variations in tooth structure, low experience levels, and fatigue factors experienced by dentists. The workload of a dentist and the occurrence of misdiagnosis can be reduced by the existence of a system that can automatically interpret the x-ray results. To overcome these problems, a model will be developed to be able to detect objects in the dental panoramic x-ray images using Mask R-CNN, one of the methods in Deep Learning. Deep Learning is an artificial intelligence function that modelled the workings of human brain in processing data and creating patterns for use in decision making. With the detection of objects in panoramic x-ray image automatically, it is expected to save time, improve the quality of dental care, and also the quality of diagnosis made by dentists.
Micro-expressions are emotional representations that occur spontaneously and cannot be controlled by humans. The micro-expression movements are temporary with fast duration and have subtle movements with little intensity. This is difficult to detect with the human eye. Previous studies have shown that micro-expression movements occur in several areas of the face. This study aims to determine the subtle movements in several areas of the face using the motion detection method. We compared the performance of two motion detection methods: the optical flow method and the Block Matching Algorithm (BMA) method. The optical flow method uses the Kanade-Lucas Tomasi (KLT) method and the BMA method uses the Phase Only Correlation (POC) algorithm. Observations were carried out based on region, where the face area was divided into several observation areas: eyebrows, eyes and mouth. Both methods perform motion detection between frames. The KLT method tracks the movement of the observation points on the frame movement. Meanwhile, the POC method matches the blocks between frames. If the two blocks are the same, no motion vector is generated. However, if the two blocks are different, it is assumed that there is a translational motion and a motion vector is generated. Experiments were conducted using a dataset from CASME II with emotional classes of disgust, happiness, surprise, and sadness. The classification accuracy of the POC method is 94% higher than the KLT method of 84.8% which uses the SVM classification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
