    Abstract: An intraoral scanner includes an image capturing device and a processor. A method of operating the intraoral scanner includes the image capturing device sequentially capturing M images of a buccal bite, the processor generating M sets of buccal bite point clouds according to the M images, the processor matching the M sets of buccal bite point clouds to generate a bite model, when the number of data points of the bite model exceeds a first threshold, the processor computing P sets of bite feature descriptors of the bite model, when a predetermined quantity of bite feature descriptors in a set of bite feature descriptors of the P sets of bite feature descriptors exceeds a second threshold, the processor performing a registration on an upper arch model and a lower arch model to the buccal bite mode to generate a full mouth model.

    Abstract: An intraoral scanner includes an image sensor, a projection module, a motion sensor, a memory unit and a processor. The motion sensor senses three motion variations corresponding to three axes according to a motion state of the intraoral scanner. The memory unit stores three first variation thresholds corresponding to the three axes. The processor determines whether the three motion variations are smaller than or equal to the three first variation thresholds, respectively. When the processor determines that at least one of the three motion variations is smaller than or equal to the three first variation thresholds, the processor enables the image sensor and the projection module. When the processor determines that all of the three motion variations are larger than the three first variation thresholds, the processor disables at least one of the image sensor and the projection module.

    Abstract: A method of operating an intraoral scanner. The intraoral scanner includes an image capturing device and a processor. The method includes the image capturing device sequentially capturing M images along a first dental arch, the processor establishing a first arch model of the first dental arch according to the M images, the image capturing device sequentially capturing N images along a straight-line path from a first anchor to a second anchor on the first dental arch, the processor generating first coordinates of the first anchor and second coordinates of the second anchor according to the N images, and the processor calibrating the first arch model according to the first coordinates and the second coordinates. The first anchor is located at one side of a dental midline of the first dental arch. The second anchor is located at the other side of the dental midline of the first dental arch.

    Abstract: A three-dimensional scanning system includes a projection module, an image capturing module, and a reflector. The projection module includes a light source and a pattern generator. The light source provides a short-wavelength infrared light beam. The pattern generator receives the short-wavelength infrared light beam to project a predetermined pattern. The image capturing module captures the image formed by the predetermined pattern on an object to be scanned. The reflector reflects the short-wavelength infrared light beam to project the predetermined pattern on the object, and reflects the short-wavelength infrared light beam reflected by the object so the image capturing module can capture the image.
