A lightweight detection algorithm for tooth cracks in optical images

ObjectivesCracked tooth syndrome (CTS) is one of the major causes of tooth loss, presents the problem of early microcrack symptoms that are difficult to distinguish. This paper aims to investigate the practicality and feasibility of an improved object detection algorithm for automatically detecting cracks in dental optical images. MethodsA total of 286 teeth were obtained from Sun Yat-sen University and Guangdong University of Technology, and simulated cracks were generated using thermal expansion and contraction. Over 3000 images of cracked teeth were collected, including 360 real clinical images. To make the model more lightweight and better suited for deployment on embedded devices, this paper improves the YOLOv8 model for detecting tooth cracks through model pruning and backbone replacement. Additionally, the impact of image enhancement modules and coordinate attention modules on optimizing our model was analyzed. ResultsThrough experimental validation, we conclude that that model pruning reduction maintains performance better than replacing a lightweight backbone network on a tooth crack detection task. This approach achieved a reduction in parameters and GFLOPs by 16.8 % and 24.3 %, respectively, with minimal impact on performance. These results affirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in identifying and labeling tooth fractures. In addition, this paper demonstrated that the impact of image enhancement modules and coordinate attention mechanisms on YOLOv8's performance in the task of tooth crack detection was minimal. ConclusionsAn improved object detection algorithm has been proposed to reduce model parameters. This lightweight model is easier to deploy and holds potential for assisting dentists in identifying cracks on tooth surfaces.

Development of Sand Court Training Program to Enhance Physical Fitness and Skills in Novice Badminton

Background and Aims: The creation of a sand court training program presents a special chance for inexperienced badminton players to improve their abilities and physical condition. Because sand offers resistance, players must move and footwork with more effort, which increases their agility and endurance. The uneven surface also forces players to hone their technique, which improves balance and coordination—two skills necessary for winning the game. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of sand court training programs on the physical fitness and skills of novice badminton students, particularly in comparison to traditional synthetic court training. Methodology: The sample group consisted of 10 first-year students from Guangdong University of Business Studies, comprising 5 males and 5 females, all of whom had no prior experience in badminton training. Purposive sampling was employed to ensure participants had consistent backgrounds in badminton skill training. The primary tool utilized in this study was a sand court badminton training plan designed by experts, rather than questionnaire surveys. T-test statistical analysis was employed to analyze participants' physical fitness and skill test results before and after the training. Results: After 8 weeks of sand court training, participants showed significant improvements in both physical fitness (including balance, endurance, explosiveness, flexibility, and speed) and badminton skills (including serving accuracy, smashing accuracy, blocking accuracy, footwork, and defense). In comparison to traditional synthetic court training, sand court training provided participants with more challenges and better training outcomes. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that sand court training effectively enhances the physical fitness and badminton skills of beginners. Therefore, compared to traditional synthetic court training, sand court training offers superior training effects, providing a new perspective on badminton training methods and highlighting the potential value of incorporating sand court training into training programs.
