Abstract:
Systems and methods are presented for assisting in providing consistent alignment of a handheld intra-oral imaging device for a series of images. Live image data of the patient is received from the intra-oral image capture device and displayed on the display. A previously stored intra-oral image of the patient is accessed from the non-transitory memory and an alignment mask is generated based on the accessed previously stored intra-oral image. The system determines whether the live image data is aligned with the alignment mask. The system then automatically captures a new intra-oral image of the patient from the live image data in response to determining that the live image data is aligned with the alignment mask and stores the new intra-oral image to the non-transitory memory, displays the new intra-oral image on the display, or both.

Claim (Index 1):
An intra-oral imaging system comprising:\n a manually-positionable, intra-oral image capture device; a display; a processor coupled to the intra-oral image capture device and the display; and\n a non-transitory memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the intra-oral imaging system to \n receive live image data of a patient from the intra-oral image capture device, \n access a previously stored intra-oral image of the patient from the non-transitory memory, \n generate an alignment mask based on the previously stored intra-oral image, \n determine whether the live image data is aligned with the alignment mask, \n automatically capture a new intra-oral image of the patient from the live image data in response to determining that the live image data is aligned with the alignment mask, and \n store the new intra-oral image to the non-transitory memory, display the new intra-oral image on the display, or both.
