METHODS AND PRODUCTS FOR ANALYZING GINGIVAL TISSUES

A system and method employing image analysis may provide an objective measure of the state of gingival tissue health. A region of analysis on an image of gingival tissue may be divided into pixels. Each pixel may have an associated color made up of component R, G and B values. A user may obtain an o...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system and method employing image analysis may provide an objective measure of the state of gingival tissue health. A region of analysis on an image of gingival tissue may be divided into pixels. Each pixel may have an associated color made up of component R, G and B values. A user may obtain an objective measurement of oral cavity soft tissue health by determining an objective measurement of the component color values of a gingival tissue image region and performing statistical analysis on the color values. L'invention concerne un système et un procédé faisant intervenir une analyse d'images. Ce système et ce procédé permettent d'obtenir une mesure objective de l'état de santé d'un tissu gingival. Une zone d'analyse d'une image de tissu gingival peut être divisée en pixels. Chaque pixel peut présenter une couleur associée constituée de valeurs de composants des couleurs rouge, vert et bleu. Un utilisateur peut obtenir une mesure objective de la santé des tissus mous de sa cavité buccale par détermination d'une mesure objective des valeurs de couleur de composants d'une zone d'image de tissus gingivaux et par analyse statistique de ces valeurs de couleur.
