    Abstract: A system and method for imaging a tooth. The method illuminates the tooth and acquires reflectance image data and illuminates the tooth and acquires fluorescence image data from the tooth. The acquired reflectance and fluorescence image data for the tooth are aligned to form aligned reflectance and fluorescence image data. For one or more pixels of the aligned reflectance and fluorescence image data, at least one feature vector is generated, having data derived from one or both of the aligned reflectance and fluorescence image data. The aligned reflectance and fluorescence image data and the at least one feature vector are processed using one or more trained classifiers obtained from a memory that is in signal communication with the computer. Processing results indicative of tooth condition are displayed.

The color mapping can be stored in an electronic memory.

    Abstract: A method for color texture imaging of teeth with a monochrome sensor array obtains a 3-D mesh representing a surface contour image according to image data from views of the teeth. For each view, recording image data generates sets of at least three monochromatic shading images. Each set of the monochromatic shading images is combined to generate 2-D color shading images, corresponding to one of the views. Each polygonal surface in the mesh is assigned to one of a subset of the views. Polygonal surfaces assigned to the same view are grouped into a texture fragment. Image coordinates for the 3-D mesh surfaces in each texture fragment are determined from projection of vertices onto the view associated with the texture fragment. The 3-D mesh is rendered with texture values in the 2-D color shading images corresponding to each texture fragment to generate a color texture surface contour image.
