Embodiment Construction

[0018] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] figure 1 is a block diagram of a personal identification device using dental images according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The personal identification device includes a tooth image acquisition unit 11 , a tooth image processing unit 13 , and a tooth image database 15 .

[0020] The tooth image acquisition unit 11 is generally composed of a typical digital camera, such as a special camera for taking pictures of teeth, a camera connected to a personal computer, or a camera connected to a mobile communication terminal. When personal identification is required, the dental image acquisition unit 11 captures a dental image by photographing the entire frontal tooth portion of the person to be identified and supplies the dental image to the dental image processing unit 13 . It is preferable to photograph the teeth...

Abstract

A personal identification method using a digital image of teeth of a person to be identified including constructing a database by storing teeth images from a plurality of persons and at least one corresponding teeth characteristic element of each person; determining a position of an interline between an upper teeth portion and a lower teeth portion from an inner mouth area that is separated from a teeth image of the person to be identified, and isolating an upper teeth area and a lower teeth area based on the position of the interline; identifying one or more teeth characteristic elements from the upper and lower teeth areas; and searching the database based on the identified one or more teeth characteristic elements and determining identification pass or fail according to a similarity between the teeth image of the person to be identified and a teeth image retrieved from the database.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to personal identification technology, and in particular to a method for extracting tooth regions from tooth images, and a method and device for personal identification using the extracted characteristic elements of the tooth regions. Background technique [0002] Personal identification using a person's face, fingerprints, iris, texture on the back of the hand, or voice to allow access to a specific territory, such as a secure area. However, complex algorithms are required for facial recognition, and expensive equipment is required for iris recognition. In addition, it is difficult to recognize fingerprints when they are unclear or when fingers are stained with foreign substances or wet from sweat. Also, the texture pattern on the back of the hand changes with the environment. Therefore, it is desirable to have a personal identification method that uses a part of the body that rarely changes and can analyze an image of ...
