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 25):
A method for determining the surface topology and associated color of at least a portion of a three-dimensional dental structure, the method comprising:\n providing a hand-held device comprising:\n a scanning system configured to provide depth data of the portion, the depth data corresponding to a plurality of data points defined on a plane substantially orthogonal to a depth direction; and \n an imaging system configured to provide color image data of the portion associated with said plurality of data points; and \n a processor operably coupled to the hand-held device and configured to associate the depth data with the color image data, wherein the depth data and the color image data represent the surface topology and the color of the portion of the three-dimensional dental structure; and operating the hand-held device.
