Abstract:
Embodiments for estimating a surface texture of a tooth are described herein. One method embodiment includes collecting a sequence of images utilizing multiple light conditions using an intra-oral imaging device and estimating the surface texture of the tooth based on the sequence of images.

Claim (Index 13):
A non-transitory computing device readable medium having executable instructions that can be executed by a processor to cause a computing device to perform a method for estimating a surface texture of a tooth, comprising:\n receiving a sequence of scanned images of a tooth from a dental device, the sequence including a number of individual images, each individual image collected under a different light condition, wherein the different light condition includes capturing different light intensities from multiple sources in each individual image; comparing a portion of a first image of the sequence of images captured at a first light intensity to a portion of a second image of the sequence of images captured at a second different light intensity; estimating the surface texture of the tooth based on the comparison of the first and second different light intensities of the first and second images; and converting the estimated surface texture of the tooth into a surface normal vector for each pixel of at least one of the two images.
