Classification of Radiolucency in Dental X-Ray Image

Health is the greatest gift to any human being. Growth of the nation depends on the health of every individual. To maintain health and hygiene, a human being must eat good food. For eating healthy food teeth plays an important role. The teeth being a small part of the body plays a very critical part in digestion. Many times due to time constraints patient cannot go to the hospital at right time or wants to get a second opinion. So, in this aspect, the proposed system is created to diagnose the status of the tooth automatically. The anticipated system takes x-ray images as input and classifies the output as a category of radiolucency that it falls under. The classification of the tooth is done by using Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), SMO, KNN. Features are extracted using both, Spatial and Frequency domain. Classification is done using Weka tool.
