The invention relates to a three-stage tooth intelligent
accurate segmentation method based on a shape distance field, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, obtaining a tooth image, and carrying out the preprocessing; s2, extracting a
region of interest, and determining a foreground region; s3, calculating the distance and direction from each foreground pixel in the foreground region to the
centroid of the corresponding tooth to form a
centroid offset vector; s4, generating a tooth
centroid density map, and performing clustering identification on centroids of the teeth; s5, designing a segmentation
mask loss function and a segmentation boundary
loss function of the model; s6, designing a shape
loss function based on a distance field; and the trained tooth segmentation model comprises a multi-
label mask segmentation sub-network, a multi-
label boundary segmentation sub-network and a shape sub-network based on a distance field, which are respectively used for executing a
mask image generation task, a
boundary detection task and a boundary fine description task, and outputting a final segmentation result. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of improving the accuracy of tooth segmentation and the like.
