The device area usually appears in the acquired images. A preprocessing stage, which consists of removing the device area, is required before the analysis of the images. In this paper we propose a method based on the Circular Hough transform (CHT) to detect auto fluorescence device part in the oral cavity images. The results revealed that the device area is successfully recognized whenever it is present in the image. © 2015 IEEE. %Z cited By 1; Conference of IEEE Student Symposium in Biomedical Engineering and Sciences, ISSBES 2015 ; Conference Date: 4 November 2015; Conference Code:120053
