STSR 2025 : 3rd Semi-supervised Teeth Segmentation and Registration MICCAI Challenge

📖 Challenge Publications

The STS Challenge was launched in 2023, with the aim of fostering the development of novel, robust teeth semi-supervised learning algorithms, and helping the developers with the evaluation of their new algorithmic developments. There are several publications related to the STS Challenge, including:

1️⃣ STS 2023 Workshop

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First MICCAI 2023 Challenge on Semi-supervised Tooth Segmentation, STS 2023, held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2023, in Vancouver, BC, Canada, on October 8, 2023. The papers were written by participants in the STS challenge to describe their solutions for automatic teeth segmentation using the official training dataset released for this purpose.
