    Abstract: A three dimensional scanning apparatus is used to detect a contour of an object, and includes an illumination light source, a first elliptic opening portion, a reference pattern generator, a second elliptic opening portion and an optical receiver. The illumination light source emits an illumination beam. The reference pattern generator provides a reference pattern by projection of the illumination beam, and transmits the reference pattern toward the object via the first elliptic opening portion. The optical receiver receives a detection pattern reflected from the object via the second elliptic opening portion, so as to analyze a difference between the reference pattern and the detection pattern for acquiring the contour.

  • Patent number: 11439482
    Abstract: An intraoral scanner includes a casing, a light source disposed in the casing, a reflection plate obliquely disposed in the casing for reflecting light of the light source to an object to be scanned through an opening of the casing, a transparent plate, and a receiver adjacent to the light source. A projection optical axis of the light source forms a first oblique angle with a receiving optical axis of the receiver. The receiver receives light after being incident to the object to be scanned and then reflected to the receiver by the reflection plate. The transparent plate is disposed between the light source and the reflection plate or covers the opening. The projection optical axis forms a second oblique angle with a norm of the transparent plate to make a reflection angle range of light reflected by the transparent plate fall outside a receiving angel range of the receiver.
