In this paper, we present a novel approach for 3D dental model segmentation via deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Traditional geometry-based methods tend to receive undesirable results due to the complex appearance of human teeth (e.g., missing/rotten tooth, feature-less regions, crowding teeth, extra medical attachments, etc.). To address these issues, we propose to learn a generic and robust segmentation model by exploiting deep neural networks, namely NNs. To this end, we extensively experiment with various network structures, and eventually arrive at a two-level hierarchical CNNs structure for tooth segmentation: one for teeth-gingiva labelling and the other for inter-teeth labelling. Further, we propose a novel boundary-aware tooth simplification method to significantly improve efficiency in the stage of feature extraction. After CNNs prediction, we do graph-based label optimization and further refine the boundary with an improved version of fuzzy clustering. The accuracy of our mesh labelling method exceeds that of the state-of-art geometry-base methods, reaching 99.06% measured by area which is directly applicable in orthodontic CAD systems. It is also robust to any possible foreign matters on model surface, e.g., air bubbles, dental accessories, and many more.
Recently, deep learning has aroused wide interest in machine learning fields. Deep learning is a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network algorithm. Deep learning has the advantage of approximating the complicated function and alleviating the optimization difficulty associated with deep models. Multilayer extreme learning machine (MLELM) is a learning algorithm of an artificial neural network which takes advantages of deep learning and extreme learning machine. Not only does MLELM approximate the complicated function but it also does not need to iterate during the training process. We combining with MLELM and extreme learning machine with kernel (KELM) put forward deep extreme learning machine (DELM) and apply it to EEG classification in this paper. This paper focuses on the application of DELM in the classification of the visual feedback experiment, using MATLAB and the second brain-computer interface (BCI) competition datasets. By simulating and analyzing the results of the experiments, effectiveness of the application of DELM in EEG classification is confirmed.
