Process of describing the mandible shape from a new panoramic X-ray image. In a first step, the mandible contour composed of both landmarks and semilandmarks is obtained automatically with a CNN. In a second step, four descriptors are applied, including a set of linear distances and angles; the centroid size, the variations from the mean shape, and the shape parameters produced by a point distribution model.
