Abstract: A three dimensional image generation method can include capturing a plurality of images of an object, generating a plurality of point clouds corresponding to a first sequence and a plurality pieces of first pose information according to the plurality of images, generating a second sequence according to a plurality of correlations among the plurality of images, performing a plurality of registration operations on the plurality of point clouds in the second sequence to adjust the plurality pieces of first pose information to generate a plurality pieces of second pose information, and combining the plurality of point clouds according to the plurality pieces of second pose information to generate a three dimensional image of the object.

Abstract: An intraoral scanning system includes a motion sensing unit, an image sensing unit, a storage unit and a processing unit. The processing unit classifies first position information and second position information obtained by the motion sensing unit and the image sensing unit in an initial scanning process into first groups and second groups, wherein the first position information and the second position information are stored in the storage unit. The processing unit selectively uses the first groups or the second groups to perform comparison in a re-scanning process, so as to position an incomplete area in a model.

Abstract: A remote control unit includes a housing, at least one pushbutton, a signal transmitter and a detection circuit. The pushbutton is disposed on the housing. The signal transmitter is mounted rotatably on the housing and capable of being switched between first and second positions. The detection circuit is coupled electrically to the pushbutton and the signal transmitter for generating a control signal upon detecting activation of the pushbutton. The signal transmitter transmits a first function signal when the signal transmitter is disposed at the first position and a second function signal different from the first function signal when the signal transmitter is disposed at the second position.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electronic device from a distance, the electronic device having a first identifying number corresponding to a set of commands for controlling the electronic device, the electronic device further being connected to a command controller which is connected to a command server via a network. The method includes: (1) storing the set of commands in the command server; (2) transmitting a first command to the command server by the command controller; (3) transmitting a second command corresponding to the first command by the command server to the command controller; and (4) controlling the electronic device by the command controller by the second command.
