Creates a dental panoramic from a CT image.

DentalPanoramic This example demonstrates how to use the DentalPanoramicExtractor class for panoramic dental rendering.

DESCRIPTION:

This example emulates a 2D dental panoramic rendering by applying an unfolding algorithm on a 3D CBCT and a sub-volume of interest. The full workflow for extracting a panoramic is :
• A segmentation of the teeth is performed in order to get the weight volume used at the fitting step. This segmentation can be done either automatically or using a predefined threshold.
• Extraction of an arch curve which is a list of vertices modeling the dental arch in a 2D plane.This step is applied by the getArchCurve function.
• Extrusion of this curve to build an initial mesh.This step is applied by the getArchMesh function.
• Fitting of this mesh on a weight volume representing the center of the teeth for building an arch mesh.This step is applied by the getArchMesh function.
• Extraction of a panoramic volume which is an unfolded volume resampling the input volume.This step is applied by the getPanoramicVolume function.
• Extraction of a panoramic image which is a projection of the panoramic volume.This step is applied by the getPanoramicImage function.
