  • Publication number: 20200096327
    Abstract: A three-dimensional scanning system includes a projection module, an image capturing module, and a reflector. The projection module includes a light source and a pattern generator. The light source provides a short-wavelength infrared light beam. The pattern generator receives the short-wavelength infrared light beam to project a predetermined pattern. The image capturing module captures the image formed by the predetermined pattern on an object to be scanned. The reflector reflects the short-wavelength infrared light beam to project the predetermined pattern on the object, and reflects the short-wavelength infrared light beam reflected by the object so the image capturing module can capture the image.

  • Publication number: 20190247157
    Abstract: The invention provides a three-dimensional object scanning device using structured lights and method using the same. A combination of specific monochrome light sources is used to construct the content of the structured lights to form a predetermined image, which is projected to the three-dimensional object such as an intraoral object. The combination of blue and green lights effectively eliminates reflective interference of the red or white environment within the intraoral space. Default patterns of the predetermined image are distinguished from one another by using well designed arrangement of color blocks so that specific coding information of location may be embedded and exploited.

  • Patent number: 10333275
    Abstract: A packaging assembly for a high-speed vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) mainly applies a lens assembly consisted of several prisms to split a laser beam emitted by a VCSEL element so as to guide a small portion of the laser beam back to a monitor photodiode (MPD) and the rest of the laser beam to travel away along an optical axis. Such a spectacular design of the lens assembly can not only relieve the VCSEL element from a position right under the optical axis, but can also reduce signal loss by shorting a length of a bonding wire for a corresponding pin through disposing the VCSEL element further close to the corresponding pin. Thereupon, a defect of lights reflected from a lens or a translucent plate on a cap can be substantially improved.
