Volumetric tooth wear measurement is important to assess the life of scraper conveyor sprocket. A shape from focus-based method is used to measure scraper conveyor sprocket tooth wear. This method reduces the complexity of the process and improves the accuracy and efficiency of existing methods. A prototype set of sequence images taken by the camera facing the sprocket teeth is collected by controlling the fabricated track movement. In this method, a normal distribution operator image filtering is employed to improve the accuracy of an evaluation function value calculation. In order to detect noisy pixels, a normal operator is used, which involves with using a median filter to retain as much of the original image information as possible. In addition, an adaptive evaluation window selection method is proposed to address the difficulty associated with identifying an appropriate evaluation window to calculate the focused evaluation value. The shape and size of the evaluation window are autonomously determined using the correlation value of the grey scale co-occurrence matrix generated from the measured pixels’ neighbourhood pixels. A reverse engineering technique is used to quantitatively verify the shape volume recovery accuracy of different evaluation windows. The test results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively measure sprocket teeth wear volume with an accuracy up to 97.23%.

This in-vitro study aimed to investigate whether intraoral scanners (IOS) are suitable for wear measurement compared to optical profilometry (WLP). A zirconia cast representing the teeth (24–28) was fabricated. It was digitized six times using three different intraoral scanners, Cerec Omnicam AC (OC), Trios 3 (Tr3), and True Definition (TD). The scans were conducted at baseline (t0) and at three different stages of simulated wear (t1–t3), each at one wear-facet on FDI 26 and FDI 27. WLP was used as a reference method. Within each acquisition system, the maximum wear at each facet was analyzed by superimposing the STL data of t0 with t1–t3. A power analysis was performed (G*Power), and the Wilcoxon-signed-rank-test was used to evaluate whether there were statistically significant differences between the groups (Bonferroni corrected) (α = 0.05). At wear-facet FDI 27, differences from +4% t1 TD up to +19% t2 OC, corresponding to a metric value of 8 µm and 45 µm, were measured. At FDI 26 deviations between −2% t1 Tr3, and +10% OC and Tr3, were observed. Considering some limitations, the IOS are a promising alternative to wear measurement based on WLP due to its simple application to capture surface changes in a reasonable and quick way.

In this era to recognize breast tumors can be based on mammogram images. This method will expedite the process of recognition and classification of breast cancer. This research was conducted classification techniques of breast cancer using mammogram images. The proposed model targets classification studies for cases of malignant, and benign cancer. The research consisted of five main stages, preprocessing, histogram equalization, convolution, feature extraction, and classification. For preprocessing cropping the image using region of interest (ROI), for convolution, median filter and histogram equalization are used to improve image quality. Feature extraction using Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) with 5 features, entropy, correlation, contrast, homogeneity, and variance. The final step is the classification using Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Based on the hypotheses that have been tested and discussed, the accuracy for RBFNN is 86.27%, while the accuracy for SVM is 84.31%. This shows that the RBFNN method is better than SVM in distinguishing types of breast cancer. These results prove the process of improving image construction using histogram equalization and the median filter is useful in the classification process.

The study aimed to develop an accurate and convenient 3D occlusal tooth wear assessment technique, applicable when surfaces other than the occlusal undergo changes during the observation period. Various degrees of occlusal tooth wear were simulated in vitro on 18 molar and 18 premolar plaster teeth. Additionally, their buccal and lingual surfaces were gently grinded to induce superficial changes and digital dental models were generated. The grinded and the original tooth crowns were superimposed using six different 3D techniques (two reference areas with varying settings; gold standard: GS). Superimposition on intact structures provided the GS measurements. Tooth wear volume comprised the primary outcome measure. All techniques differed significantly to each other in their accuracy (p < 0.001). The technique of choice (CCD: complete crown with 30% estimated overlap of meshes) showed excellent agreement with the GS technique (median difference: 0.045, max: 0.219 mm3), no systematic error and sufficient reproducibility (max difference < 0.040 mm3). Tooth type, tooth alignment in the dental arches, and amount of tooth wear did not significantly affect the results of the CCD technique (p > 0.01). The suggested occlusal tooth wear assessment technique is straightforward and offers accurate outcomes when limited morphological changes occur on surfaces other than the occlusal.

Abstract The main cause of death in women is breast cancer. Early identification can contribute significantly to improving the survival rate. For diagnosis and accurate therapy automatic detection of micro-calcification is therefore essential. In the paper, an automated technique is utilized in the mammogram images according to their micro-calcification classification. The automated technique is working with the combination of Deep Belief Neural Network (DBNN) and Chimp Optimization Algorithm (COA). The proposed method is working with three phases such as pre-processing phase, feature extraction, and classification phase. In the pre-processing phase, a median filter is utilized to remove unwanted information from the images. In the feature extraction phase, Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT), and Hu moments are utilized to extract essential features from the mammogram images. After that, the detection and classification are performed on the mammogram images according to their micro-calcifications with the utilization of the proposed advanced deep learning method. From the classification stage, the normal and abnormal images are identified from the images. The proposed method is implemented in the MATLAB platform and analyzed their statistical performances like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, recall, and F-measure. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method this is compared with the existing method such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

Early recognition of tumor would assist in saving an enormous number of lives over the globe frequently. Study and remedy of lung tumor have been one of the greatest troubles faced by humans over the latest few decades. Effective recognition of lung tumor is a vital and crucial aspect of image processing. Several Segmentation methods were used to detect lung tumor at an early stage. An approach is presented in this paper to diagnose lung tumor from CT scan images. The input image (CT scan image) will be preprocessed initially using median filter to remove the noise. After applying preprocessing technique, the Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) segmentation technique is used for the edge detection. The Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features are calculated based on the pixel values of the extracted image. These features can be compared with database images using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) which facilitates in categorizing it as tumorous. After confirming that the affected area is tumorous, watershed segmentation algorithm is used to get the color features of the tumor.
