This dataset is for non-commercial research purposes only.

This dataset contains 192 intraoral periapical dental radiographs of patients of varying demographics, with corresponding keypoint and bounding box annotations for periodontal disease related conditions and landmarks. 

 

Folder Layout

This dataset is split into two subfolders containing the same images and annotations.

The "0_Baseline" dataset contains all 192 .PNG images, corresponding .txt annotation files and supporting rotational bounding box information .txt files. All annotations are provided in the YOLO pose format with all keypoints matched to a bounding box with appropriate visibility settings for each keypoint.

The "1_Experiment" folder contains the processed dataset with all 192 .PNG images split into alternating 5 fold cross validation datasets, which we used in our paper. The "1_Experiment" folder contains 3 sub folders: (1) "standard_box", of 140 train and 35 test images/annotations, for training and evaluating with non rotating bounding boxes ; (2) "rotating_box", of 140 train and 35 test images/annotations, only contains bounding box information with box rotational information (only used for calculating percentage of bone loss with orientation to the tooth); (3) "holdout_test_standard_box", of 17 images/annotations for evaluating as a holdout test set with non rotating bounding boxes. (4) "holdout_test_rotating_box", of 17 images/annotations rotating box information for the holdout test set.

The "2_Auxiliary_Segmentation" folder contains 3,588 panoramic radiographs processed to resemble periapical radiographs. The data was processed from 359 original panoramic radiographs and annotations from humans in the loop [1]. All classes from the original dataset were reduced to a single class "Tooth" with class number 0. The folder contains a "Train" set of 3,229 .JPG images and .txt annotations, and a "Val" set of 359 .JPG images and .txt annotations. 

The "3_External_Set" folder contains 15 periapical radiographs and annotations (annotated by us). The original radiographs were published by Altukroni et al. [2]. The folder contains a "standard_box" folder with keypoint annotations with non rotating bounding boxes, and a "rotating_box" folder with rotating bounding box annotations.

 

 

All annotations are provided in the YOLO pose format with all keypoints matched to a bounding box with appropriate visibility settings for each keypoint.

Annotation Formatting

.txt files are formatted in the YOLO format, where each line is a new bounding box object in the image that has corresponding keypoints. All pixel coordinates are noramlised to its corresponding image dimensions. YOLO format .txt files are structured as:

 

[class] [X_centre_box] [Y_centre_box] [Width_box] [Height_box] [kpt_class_0_X] [kpt_class_0_Y] [kpt_class_0_visibility] [kpt_class_1_X] [kpt_class_1_Y] [kpt_class_1_visibility] ........

Visibility

The architecture of pose detection models requires keypoints to be attached to a bounding box class, so all possible keypoints need to be specified and included in every bounding box instance and class, despite some keypoints being visible in the image or present for a given class. Visibility tells the model what type of keypoint is present and how it should be trained on the model. Visibility indicators are 0: not visible and not trained, 1: partially visible and trained, 2: visible and trained.

We have set up the visibility for the keypoints for each bounding box class as:

Visibility for keypoints that are outside the bounds of the image or are not appropriate for a given bounding box class are given the pixel position (0, 0) and visibility 0.

If there is furcation involvement on a multi-root tooth, then FBL-m and FBL-d keypoints are given the visibility 2.

If there is no furcation involvement, FBL-m and FBL-d are given visibility 1 and the same (X,Y) pixel position as the FA keypoint. This is done as there is no visible FBL-d and FBL-m keypoint for no furcation involvement, but we want the model to produce the same keypoint location as FA to indicate no furcation involvement.
