Tooth morphometry using quasi-conformal theory

作者：

Highlights：

• A shape classification model based on quasi-conformal theory is proposed.

• The surface geometry, anatomical landmarks and curvature differences of the shapes are all taken into account in our proposed method.

• The classification accuracy for teeth with respect to ancestry and gender is significantly improved by our proposed method.
