New GeDi+ICP method improves jawbone CT and intraoral scan registration

Researchers have developed a new method for accurately registering jawbone CT scans with intraoral scans, a crucial step in digital dentistry and oral surgery. This new technique utilizes a combination of a domain-generalizable local descriptor called GeDi and the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm. The proposed method, named GeDi+ICP, demonstrated submillimeter mean absolute error across various conditions, including the presence of metal artifacts, outperforming ICP alone and GeDi alone in accuracy.

    Coarse-to-Fine Registration of Jawbone CT and Intraoral Scan Data Using GeDi and ICP with Pseudo-IOS Ground Truth

    arXiv:2608.07564v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In digital dentistry and oral surgery, the registration of jawbone CT and intraoral scanner (IOS) data is essential for integrating internal bone structure with high-resolution dental surface geometry. However, this registration i…
