Detection is solved, delineation is not: what governs tooth segmentation on panoramic radiographs
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →The study evaluates automatic tooth segmentation on panoramic radiographs using a large annotated corpus of 1,422 images and 42,142 tooth polygons. It finds that increasing input resolution improves boundary precision (mask mAP50‑95 rises from 0.656 to 0.717) while detection performance remains unchanged, and that architectural changes have minimal impact on in‑domain accuracy. Targeted interventions such as LoRA adaptation, promptable foundation models, and anatomical label assignment provide negligible gains, indicating that resolution and acquisition diversity should be prioritized over model novelty.
