  • Patent number: 11983873
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method for correlating at least one infrared 2D-image to a 3D-representation of at least a part of a tooth displayed in a graphical user-interface, of a hand-held scanning device, on a screen, comprising the steps of: obtaining a first set of 2D-images of the at least part of the tooth; forming a 3D-representation of the at least a part of the tooth from the first set of 2D-images; displaying, in the graphical user-interface, the 3D-representation; obtaining a second set of 2D-images, wherein the second set of 2D images are infrared 2D-images acquired within the at least part of the tooth; displaying, in the user-interface, at least one of the 2D-images from the second set of 2D-images; displaying, in the user-interface, a manipulator configured to change between 2D-images in the second set of 2D-images.

  • Patent number: 11825062
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for compensating for motion blur when performing a 3D scanning of at least a part of an object by means of a 3D scanner, where the motion blur occurs because the scanner and the object are moved relative to each other while the scanning is performed, and where the motion blur compensation comprises: —determining whether there is a relative motion between the scanner and the object during the acquisition of the sequence of focus plane images; —if a relative motion is determined, performing a motion compensation based on the determined motion; and —generating a 3D surface from the sequence of focus plane images.

  • Publication number: 20220148263
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method for generating a digital three-dimensional model representing development in dental condition for a tooth is disclosed. The method includes obtaining, at different timepoints, a first digital 3D model of a patient's set of teeth including first texture data and a second digital 3D model of the patient's set of teeth including second texture data. The first digital 3D model including the first texture data and second digital 3D model including the second texture data are placed in a common texture space by uniformizing texture. Lastly, the digital three-dimensional model representing development in dental condition is generated based on a comparison of the first texture data and the second texture data of corresponding regions in the first digital 3D model and the second digital 3D model placed in the common texture space.

  • Publication number: 20220061632
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a wireless scanning device, including: a scanning housing, including: an image detector configured for acquiring 2D-images at a first 2D-frame-rate; and one or more processor(s) coupled to the image detector such that the 2D-images can be processed by the processor(s) to form processed data; a wireless module being coupled to the processor(s) such that the wireless module receives the processed data from the processor(s) and wirelessly transmits the processed data.
