US 2019/0290398 A1 · SELECTION AND LOCKING OF INTRAORAL IMAGES

Abstract

A method includes receiving first intraoral scan data of an intraoral site, the first intraoral scan data having been generated at a first time, receiving second intraoral scan data of the intraoral site, the second intraoral scan data having been generated at a second time that is later than the first time, and analyzing the second intraoral scan data of the intraoral site relative to the first intraoral scan data of the intraoral site. The method further includes identifying an area of interest (AOI) based on the analyzing and removing data for the AOI from at least one of the first intraoral scan data, the second intraoral scan data, or a three-dimensional (3D) model of the intraoral site generated from the first intraoral scan data and the second intraoral scan data.

Dependent claims

A non-transitory storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving first intraoral scan data of an intraoral site, the first intraoral scan data having been generated at a first time;
receiving second intraoral scan data of the intraoral site, the second intraoral scan data having been generated at a second time that is later than the first time;
analyzing the second intraoral scan data of the intraoral site relative to the first intraoral scan data of the intraoral site;
identifying an area of interest (AOI) based on the analyzing;

A non-transitory storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving a first set of intraoral images of one or more intraoral site;
receiving a second set of intraoral images of the one or more intraoral site;
analyzing the second set of intraoral images of the intraoral site relative to the first set of intraoral images of the one or more intraoral site;
identifying one or more discrepancies of overlapping data between the first set of intraoral images and the second set of intraoral images based on the analyzing;
determining a first merged result of the first set of intraoral images and the second set of intraoral images based on a first prioritization of the first set of intraoral images and the second set of intraoral images;
determining a second merged result of the first set of intraoral images and the second set of intraoral images based on a second prioritization of the first set of intraoral images and the second set of intraoral images;
receiving a selection of the first merged result;
and
generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the one or more intraoral site using the first set of intraoral images, the second set of intraoral images, and the first prioritization of the first set of intraoral images and the second set of intraoral images, wherein the one or more discrepancies of the overlapping data are resolved in the 3D model using the first prioritization.

6 more elements

A non-transitory storage medium having instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving first intraoral scan data of an intraoral site, the first intraoral scan data having been generated at a first time;
locking at least a portion of the first intraoral scan data that depicts the intraoral site;
receiving second intraoral scan data depicting the intraoral site and one or more additional intraoral sites, the second intraoral scan data having been generated at a second time that is earlier than the first time;
and
generating a three-dimensional (3D) model comprising the intraoral site and the one or more additional intraoral sites based on the first intraoral scan data and the second intraoral scan data, wherein the locked portion of the first intraoral scan data is used for a first region of the 3D model depicting the intraoral site, wherein data of the second intraoral scan data that also depicts the intraoral site is not used for the first region of the 3D model, and wherein additional data of the second intraoral scan data that depicts the one or more additional intraoral sites is used for a second region of the 3D model depicting the one or more additional intraoral sites.
