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 1):
A system for determining surface topology and associated color of an intraoral structure, the system comprising:\n a handheld imaging device comprising a probe, focusing optics configured to scan a focal plane of the handheld imaging device over a range of depths, an illuminator, and an image sensor configured to capture depth image data over the range of depths and color image data of the intraoral structure, wherein a time interval between capture of the depth image data and the color image data is within an interval between about 0 to about 20 milliseconds; and one or more processors operably coupled to the hand-held imaging device, the one or more processors configured to cause the system to:\n generate depth data of the intraoral structure portion using the depth image data from the handheld imaging device corresponding to a first spatial disposition relative to the intraoral structure, \n generate color data of the intraoral structure using the color image data from the handheld imaging device corresponding to a second spatial disposition relative to the intraoral structure, and \n provide a color three-dimensional numerical entity based on the depth data and the color data.
