  • Patent number: 12236601
    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, including 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: 12144486
    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.

  • 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.
