Abstract
The early detection of disease is one of important matter of diagnostic imaging. In this paper we developed a system to analysis the dental x-ray images and diagnosis the tooth which has abnormalities of caries. Enhancement applied to improve the quality of x-ray images and Thresholding method performed to simplify the images. Segmentation has been done by applying the integral projection technique to extract the individual tooth and therefore feature map of tooth surface generated to analysis and detection process. Nevertheless, experiments show the accurate segmentation and caries detection with proposed method which achieves high accuracy and promising result.
