Abstract:
A device for determining the surface topology and associated color of a structure, such as a teeth segment, includes a scanner for providing depth data for points along a two-dimensional array substantially orthogonal to the depth direction, and an image acquisition means for providing color data for each of the points of the array, while the spatial disposition of the device with respect to the structure is maintained substantially unchanged. A processor combines the color data and depth data for each point in the array, thereby providing a three-dimensional color virtual model of the surface of the structure. A corresponding method for determining the surface topology and associate color of a structure is also provided.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for generating a 3D model of an intraoral structure, the method comprising:\n illuminating the intraoral structure with a first light source; capturing a plurality of depth image data sets during the illumination with first light source; illuminating the intraoral structure with a second light source; capturing a plurality of two-dimensional image data during the illumination with the second light source; differentiating between hard tissue in the plurality of depth image data sets and soft tissue in the plurality of depth image data sets based on the plurality of two-dimensional image data; and stitching the plurality of depth image data sets together based on the differentiation between the hard tissue and the soft tissue.
