  • Publication number: 20230083024
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for designing a restored smile are provided. One method includes receiving scan data of a patient's teeth, developing a digital model of the patient's teeth via a computing device, where the model represents the patient's teeth based upon the scan data, creating a dental treatment plan to restore one or more teeth from an initial condition to a successive condition, and wherein a final condition of the one or more is based on the one or more teeth having at least one planned additional restorative tooth structure provided therewith.

  • Publication number: 20210072397
    Abstract: A generator for generating three-dimensional point clouds of synthetic LIDAR signals from a set of LIDAR signals measured with the aid of a physical LIDAR sensor. The generator includes a random generator and a first machine learning system, which receives vectors or tensors of random values from the random generator as input, and maps each such vector, or each such tensor, onto a three-dimensional point cloud of a synthetic LIDAR signal with the aid of an internal processing chain. The internal processing chain of the first machine learning system is parameterized by a plurality of parameters which are set in such a way that the three-dimensional point cloud of the LIDAR signal, and/or at least one characteristic variable derived from this point cloud, essentially has/have the same distribution for the synthetic LIDAR signals as for the measured LIDAR signals.
