About This Project
Overview
A PyTorch and OpenCV pipeline that identifies and classifies dental issues in X-ray photographs, mirroring the acne-detection approach for a different diagnostic domain.
Motivation
After building the acne detection pipeline, I wanted to see how the same detection approach transferred to a very different imaging domain — dental X-rays.
Lessons Learned
X-ray images needed a different preprocessing pipeline than photographs — reusing the acne-detection approach directly didn't work until I adjusted for the different contrast and noise characteristics of X-ray imagery.
