Description
#

During my time as working student at Fraunhofer IPA, I’ve developed a denture/tooth classifier as part of a feasibility study for a research project. The classifier follows dental notation and is trained on a handcrafted dataset of dental images in various poses.

The result was a CNN with an accuracy of over 98% and the decision to continue the project to market maturity with an even wider array of dental variants. Due to my graduation and subsequent employment at Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart, I was not able to continue working on this project.

  • EfficientDet: The backbone object detection model used for the classifier.
  • PyTorch: Implementation of the classifier and training pipeline.
  • Pydantic: Used for settings management.
  • Basler: The camera used for capturing the training images.
