Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating material samples are provided. Characteristic features are measured for a batch of material samples that comprise substantially the same composition and are produced by substantially the same process. The measured characteristic features have respective variability that is analyzed to extract statistical parameters. In some cases, reference ranges are determined based on the extracted statistical parameters for the batch of material samples. The corresponding statistical parameters of a test material sample are compared to the reference ranges to verify whether the test material sample is authentic.

Abstract: A method for detecting tooth wear using digital 3D models of teeth taken at different times. The digital 3D models of teeth are segmented to identify individual teeth within the digital 3D model. The segmentation includes performing a first segmentation method that over segments at least some of the teeth within the model and a second segmentation method that classifies points within the model as being either on an interior of a tooth or on a boundary between teeth. The results of the first and second segmentation methods are combined to generate segmented digital 3D models. The segmented digital 3D models of teeth are compared to detect tooth wear by determining differences between the segmented models, where the differences relate to the same tooth to detect wear on the tooth over time.

Abstract: To provide an apparatus, a system, and a program that can easily detect an image region where retroreflected light is recorded without being influenced by a neighboring object. In one embodiment, a measuring apparatus (1) includes an imaging unit (11), a converter (141) that converts first image data captured by the imaging unit using light emission for photography and second image data captured by the imaging unit without using the light emission for photography to luminance values, a differential processor (142) that calculates a difference between a first luminance value based on the first image data and a second luminance value based on the second image data for each pixel and generates an output image visually representing a region where the difference is present based on an obtained differential image, and a display unit (16) that displays the output image.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating random bits by using physical variations present in material samples are provided. Initial random bit streams are derived from measured material properties for the material samples. In some cases, secondary random bit streams are generated by applying a randomness extraction algorithm to the derived initial random bit streams.

Abstract: Methods for estimating and predicting tooth wear based upon a single 3D digital model of teeth. The 3D digital model is segmented to identify individual teeth within the model. A digital model of a tooth is selected from the segmented model, and its original shape is predicted. The digital model is compared with the predicted original shape to estimate wear areas. A mapping function based upon values relating to tooth wear can also be applied to the selected digital model to predict wear of the tooth.

Abstract: Three-dimensional test objects provide for assessment of a 3D scanner over a range of scales, frequencies, and/or depths. The test objects may include a substrate having a substantially planar top surface and a plurality of surface features. In some examples, the surface features include a plurality of wedges projecting above the plane of the top surface and extending radially outward from an origin to form a three dimensional star pattern. The shape of the surface features may be periodic or non-periodic. In other examples, the depth of the surface features is decoupled from their lateral frequency.
