Dental image processing is one of the emerging fields in case of human identification in forensic sciences.
Dental x-rays have been quiet effective for the diagnosis and detection of problems in tooth. This paper presents an add
on approach in the same area of medical biometrics to detect and diagnose the dental caries in case of decayed tooth.
The enhancement and segmentation of digital dental x-ray image is done by using Infinite Symmetric Exponential filter
(Shen Castan Algorithm) and Canny’s Gaussian filter. The aim of this paper will be to provide comparative analysis
between two edge detection techniques, Canny and Infinite Symmetric Exponential filter. After deciding the best edge
detection technique from the above two, we will extract the caries affected tooth and decide the dental treatment like
filling or Root Canal Treatment.
