Claim 9:
10. An apparatus for intra-oral imaging using a projected texture pattern, comprising:
a projector;
a beam-splitter located between the projector and an object to be imaged; and
an image sensor,
wherein the projector is configured to determine a size of blocks for a random texture pattern based on translucency of the object to be imaged and project the random texture pattern of light through the beam-splitter to the object to be imaged, and the image sensor is configured to receive the projected texture pattern from the object to be imaged through the beam-splitter, and wherein the size of blocks included in the projected texture pattern is sufficient for the image sensor to resolve features on a surface of the object to be imaged.
