Clinical X-Ray Image Based Tooth Decay Diagnosis using SVM

Automatic tooth decay diagnosis achieved the satisfying results on the extracted tooth diagnosis by rule-based system and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This paper, focusing on clinical tooth decay detection, introduces a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based diagnosis method. For comparison, an additional back propagation neural network (BPNN) tooth decay diagnosis experiment is reported. Comparative results indicate that SVM based method gives better performance than the one BPNN based.
