    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: An imaging system includes an image sensing unit and a processing unit. The image sensing unit captures a plurality of images of an object, wherein each of the images includes a plurality of pixels. The processing unit obtains a plurality of sets of image data according to the images, wherein each set of image data includes a plurality of characteristic values. The processing unit calculates a plurality of difference parameters of the characteristic values of every two sets of image data. The processing unit accumulates the difference parameters within a predetermined time period to obtain a plurality of accumulated difference parameters corresponding to the pixels. The processing unit determines a plurality of weighting values corresponding to the pixels according to the accumulated difference parameters. The processing unit performs an image processing process according to the sets of image data and the weighting values.

    Abstract: A scanning system includes a scanner and a host device. The host device is operated to select a scanning region. An object exists in the scanning region. The host device provides a predicted model corresponding to the object. The predicted model has at least one first characteristic parameter. The scanner scans the object and transmits a plurality of scanned images to the host device. The host device integrates the scanned images into a temporary image. The temporary image has at least one second characteristic parameter. The host device determines whether the second characteristic parameter matches with the first characteristic parameter. When the host device determines that the second characteristic parameter matches with the first characteristic parameter, the host device retains the temporary image. When the host device determines that the second characteristic parameter does not match with the first characteristic parameter, the host device abandons the temporary image.
