Pano detection backends — weights verdicts (verified 2026-09-03)
Tier-1 pano shortlist for the second
imaging_aiRunner backend. Code licenses via GitHub API; weights/data terms via project READMEs. Rule: unlicensed weights = operator-provided, never vendored; no shared model = no backend (build-similar only).
| Candidate | Code | Weights / data | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
stmharry/dental-pano-ai | MIT ✅ | S3 tarball, no stated license; Docker image published; CPU-only libs | PICK for Phase B. CLI/docker wrap; weights operator-provided. Cite Wang et al. arXiv:2502.10277. |
ibrahimethemhamamci/HierarchicalDet | MIT ✅ | DENTEX data CC BY-SA 4.0 (open, share-alike — ledger "NC" corrected) | Runner-up. Share-alike binds distributed derivatives; use-as-service is fine. Cite Hamamci MICCAI 2023 + DENTEX arXiv:2305.19112. |
NoahOksuz/DentalXrayAI | Apache-2.0 ✅ | best.pt via personal link, no terms; ultralytics is AGPL — CLI-boundary containment only | Feasible with AGPL care; deferred behind the pick. |
IvisionLab/deep-dental-image | MIT ✅ | weights unknown | Deferred; same operator-provided gate. |
clemkoa/tooth-detection | MIT ✅ | dataset + model explicitly NOT shared (privacy) | No backend possible. Build-similar (Faster R-CNN pano pipeline idea) only. |
ibrahimethemhamamci/DENTEX | none (ledger "MIT code" corrected) | data CC BY-SA 4.0 | Build-similar only (benchmark reference). |
limhoyeon/ToothGroupNetwork, LucasKre/dilated_tooth_seg_net, IvisionLab/dental-image, Loki-Silvres/Dental-Disease-Detection, sdmadhav/CBCT_Dental, prince0310/Smart-CBCT…, ErdanC/…bone… | none | — | Build-similar only. |
AImageLab-zip/ToothFairy2-Benchmark | none | — | Benchmark reference only. |
coolleafly/VDING | GPL-3.0 ❌ | — | Excluded (ledger B4). |
