Image processing apparatus and image processing method

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• a memory storing one or more instructions;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to:
• obtain scan data by scanning an object including a hole, wherein the scan data includes a portion of an inner region of the hole,
• obtain, from the scan data, at least one parameter for recognizing the inner region of the hole,
• recognize the inner region of the hole from the scan data based on the obtained at least one parameter,
• delete the inner region of the hole in the scan data;
• and
• obtain, based on the scan data from which the inner region of the hole has been deleted, a final image indicating a form in which the hole is filled with a filler,
• wherein the object includes an abutment including a screw hole.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program including at least one instruction which, when executed by a computer, performs an image processing method, the image processing method comprising:

• obtaining scan data by scanning an object including a hole, wherein the scan data includes a portion of an inner region of the hole;
• obtaining, from the scan data, at least one parameter for recognizing the inner region of the hole;
• recognizing the inner region of the hole from the scan data based on the obtained at least one parameter;
• deleting the inner region of the hole in the scan data;
• and
• obtaining, based on the scan data from which the inner region of the hole has been deleted, a final image indicating a form in which the hole is filled with a filler,
• wherein the object includes an abutment including a screw hole.
