  • Patent number: 12376943
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for optimizing a 3D model of an individual's teeth. A 3D dental model may be reconstructed from 3D parameters. A differentiable renderer may be used to derive a 2D rendering of the individual's dentition. 2D image(s) of an individual's dentition may be obtained, and features may be extracted from the 2D image(s). Image loss between the 2D rendering and the 2D image(s) can be derived, and back-propagation from the image loss can be used to calculate gradients of the loss to optimize the 3D parameters. A machine learning model can also be trained to predict a 3D dental model from 2D images of an individual's dentition.

  • Patent number: 12314079
    Abstract: As sensor readings are received from a hardware sensor, each sensor reading is stored within a buffer along with a system timestamp of a system clock indicating when the sensor reading was received. Each sensor reading includes a sensor timestamp of a sensor clock indicating when the sensor reading occurred at the hardware sensor. Responsive to receipt of each sensor reading, a synthetic timestamp compensating for skew between the system clock and the sensor clock is generated and applied to the sensor reading. The synthetic timestamp is generated based on an average skew of the sensor readings within the buffer and an initial system timestamp indicating when a first sensor reading was received.
