A debris tank is in fluid communication with the vacuum hose and is used to collect the slurry. The system also includes a filter drum, where a portion of the filter drum is configured to rotate through the slurry to filter the liquids from the solids, where dewatered solids are returned to the site for compaction. In addition, an outlet is in fluid communication with a central portion of the filter drum to return filtered water for use in hydro-excavation at the site.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for more effectively capturing the three-dimensional surface geometry of objects, particularly for teeth and/or intraoral structures, such as when a scanning processing is interrupted. Depth images are created in which the spatial relationships of points of the depth images to one another remain constant, but an overall spatial orientation of each new depth image is different. Points of the depth image that fulfill a first attribute is verified for every pose. The number of points that have this attribute is then counted. The pose that accordingly has the highest count is thus chosen, and an artificial depth image is then generated, in which the ascertained pose is applied “backwards” to create an artificial depth image. The real new depth image can then be transferred into the artificial depth image in order to create a new pose, which may then be verified by computation.

Abstract: In a method for displaying at least one property of an optically determined surface geometry of at least one three-dimensional object, in particular a tooth, on a display, in particular a computer screen, a defined region of the surface geometry is monitored to ascertain whether a defined criterion has been fulfilled. An amount of optically determined data of the defined region is a criterion. A number of defined regions of the surface geometry are assigned a property when all the regions of the number meet the criterion. The property is displayed graphically in a defined manner, wherein different properties are graphically displayed in a differing manner.

Abstract: In the case of a method for optical acquisition of the three-dimensional geometry of objects, in particular teeth (4), with a scanner (14), which has a scanning head (13), the three-dimensional geometry that is acquired in a virtual three-dimensional space (1) in the course of scanning is noted. In this case, in the course of scanning, positions of a defined scanner geometry (2) of the scanner (14), in particular of the scanning head (13), are noted relative to the object (4) that is acquired, and, moreover, an area (6) in which the defined scanner geometry (2) is or was located is determined. The determined area (6) is marked, for example as “empty,” in the virtual space (1).
