AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF INTRAORAL 3D SCANNER

Abstract: an intraoral scanner comprises one or more structured light projectors and two or more cameras, where each structured light projector projects a pattern of light onto an intraoral three-dimensional (3d) surface and the two or more cameras capture one or more sets of images, wherein each image includes at least a portion of the projected pattern of light. a processor solves a correspondence problem within a set of images of the one or more sets of images such that points in 3d space are determined based on correspondence of captured features in the set of images to projected features of at least the portion of the projected pattern, wherein said points in 3d space form a solution to the correspondence problem. the processor calibrates the intraoral scanner by performing an adjustment to stored calibration data associated with the intraoral scanner based on the solution to the correspondence problem.
