Clarification on Mask Labels, Expert Annotation, and Dataset Source
#2
by Ela-ar - opened
Hello, I am considering using Main_teeth_dataset for my master’s thesis on dental caries detection in OPG images. Could you please clarify the following?
What exactly do the white regions in the label masks represent? Are they specifically dental caries, or do they include restorations or other dental findings?
Who created and reviewed the masks? Were they manually annotated by qualified dentists or oral and maxillofacial radiologists, or generated automatically?
Is there an original publication, dataset source, or annotation guideline documenting how the images and masks were prepared? I would appreciate a reference that I can cite in my thesis.
Thank you for your help.
