- 直接在点云上回归热图,结合牙齿存在判断自适应缺牙情况。
- 误差低至0.56毫米,速度比现有方法快14.8倍。
- 适合需要高效精准牙科分析的临床与研究场景。
在3D口内扫描(IOS)中识别解剖标志点对正畸治疗至关重要,但人工标注耗时且需专业知识。现有机器学习方法多依赖费时的牙齿分割步骤,缺乏端到端解决方案。本文提出首个完全端到端的深度学习方法CHaRM(Conditioned Heatmap Regression Methodology),直接处理点云数据,集成点云编码器、热图回归头、牙齿存在分类头及新型CHaR模块。CHaR模块利用牙齿存在信息,有效应对缺牙情况,提升复杂病例检测精度。相比两阶段流程,该方法简化流程,避免误差传播,降低计算成本。我们在新构建的IOSLandmarks-1k数据集(1,214个标注3D牙模)上评估,采用PointMLP的CHaRNet模型表现最优:标准牙模平均欧氏距离误差降至0.56毫米,全牙列类型下为1.12毫米,GPU推理速度提升最高达14.8倍。数据集与代码将公开,以促进口腔正畸领域可复现研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Identifying anatomical landmarks in 3D dental models is essential for orthodontic treatment, yet manual placement is labor-intensive and requires expert knowledge. While machine learning methods have been proposed for automatic landmark detection in 3D Intraoral Scans (IOS), none provide a fully end-to-end solution that avoids costly tooth segmentation. We present CHaRM (Conditioned Heatmap Regression Methodology), the first fully end-to-end deep learning approach for tooth landmark detection in 3D IOS. CHaRM integrates four components: a point cloud encoder, a decoder with a heatmap regression head, a teeth-presence classification head, and the novel CHaR module. The CHaR module leverages teeth-presence information to adapt to missing teeth, improving detection accuracy in complex dental cases. Unlike two-stage workflows that segment teeth before landmarking, CHaRM operates directly on IOS point clouds, reducing complexity, avoiding error propagation, and lowering computational cost. We evaluated CHaRM with five point cloud learning backbones on IOSLandmarks-1k, a new dataset of 1,214 annotated 3D dental models. Both the dataset and code will be publicly released to address the scarcity of open data in orthodontics and foster reproducible research. CHaRM with PointMLP, named CHaRNet, achieved the best accuracy and efficiency. Compared to state-of-the-art methods (TSMDL and ALIIOS), CHaRNet reduced mean Euclidean distance error to 0.56 mm on standard dental models and 1.12 mm across all dentition type, while delivering up to 14.8x faster inference on GPU. This end-to-end approach streamlines orthodontic workflows, enhances the precision of 3D IOS analysis, and enables efficient computer-assisted treatment planning.
