    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for self-investigating an optical element embedded in an intraoral scanner, and a system using the same. The reliability of an intraoral scanner may decrease due to foreign matter attached to an optical element. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a prescribed method for investigating foreign matter attached to an optical element, and a system using the same, wherein an alarm providing notification of the need to inspect the optical element is generated when it is determined that foreign matter has stained the optical element. According to said investigation method and system, a user of an intraoral scanner can automatically determine the presence or absence of foreign matter when scanning an object (patient's affected area), and thus can service the optical element or replace a part in which the corresponding component is formed. Therefore, there is an advantage of improving the scanning efficiency and data reliability of the intraoral scanner.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for acquiring a three-dimensional (3D) image including: acquiring a 3D primary image of an object from two-dimensional (2D) primary image data acquired by first and second cameras when a predetermined pattern is projected on the object by a projector and a 2D primary image of the pattern-projected object is acquired by the first and second cameras, and then converting it into a 2D re-viewpoint image; correcting a missing area in the 2D re-viewpoint image corresponding to the 3D data missing area for compensating for a 3D data missing area caused by a curvature of the object and the points of view of the first and second cameras; and generating a corrected 3D image by referring to the 2D primary image data acquired by the first or second camera and the corrected 2D re-viewpoint image information.

    Abstract: In an alignment state indicating apparatus and method according to the present invention, scanning is performed by means of a scanner, raw data is formed through light incident into the scanner, 3D data is formed through the raw data, and alignment is performed. When it is determined that such an alignment process of 3D data is not performed normally, the alignment state indicating apparatus and method according to the present invention provide visual feedback to a user on an alignment error in the form of a specific pattern, thereby allowing the user to quickly recognize whether to perform the alignment. Accordingly, the alignment state indicating apparatus and method have the advantage of improving the reliability of scanning by allowing the user to scan an object closely.
