METHOD FOR RECORDING INDIVIDUAL THREE-DIMENSIONAL OPTICAL IMAGES OF A DENTAL OBJECT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for recording individual three-dimensional optical images (2) to form a global image of a dental object (1) which is to be measured. After each individual image (2) is taken by means of a dental camera (3), a computer (8) automatically checks whether an overlapping area (5, 12) between the images which are to be combined meet the recording requirements determined for a correct recording. If the overlapping area (5) meets the recording requirements, the recording is carried out between the images (6, 7) to be combined and a first image sequence (9) is set in motion. Said images of the first image sequence (9) are subsequently combined to form a first cluster (23). If the overlapping area (12) of an image (13) does not meet the recording requirements, the first image sequence (9) is interrupted, an additional second image sequence (14) is automatically started with said image (13). Subsequently, the images of the second image sequence (14) are combined to form a second cluster (24).

1. A method of recording individual three-dimensional optical images to form a global image of a dental object to be measured, characterized in that after each individual image, a check is performed automatically by means of a dental camera using a computer of whether an overlapping area between the combined images fulfills certain recording conditions for a fault-free recording, wherein if the overlapping area fulfills the recording conditions, then the recording is performed between the images to be combined, and a first image sequence is continued, wherein the image of the first image sequence are combined into a first cluster, or if the overlapping area of an image does not fulfill the recording conditions, the first image sequence is terminated and an additional, second image sequence is started automatically with this image, wherein the images of the second image sequence are combined to form a second cluster.
