    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color sensing system for determining color characteristics of an object. SOLUTION: In this color sensing system, a peripheral receiver optical fiber/element 7 is provided apart from a central light source optical fiber/element 5 to receive and measure the light reflected from surface of the object 20. Light from the peripheral fiber optics 7 passes through various filters. The peripheral receiver optical fiber 7 is used to determine information on height and angle of a probe 1 to the measuring object 20. Under control of a processor, color measurement is performed at the given height and angle. Configurations of various color spectrophotometers are disclosed. Also data on translucence, fluorescence property and/or surface structure can be acquired. Further an operator can be led to use this system by being supplied with audio feedback. The probe 1 also may have either a freely-attachable/detachable or shielded tip for inhibiting contamination. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: Optical characteristic measuring systems and methods such as for determining the color or other optical characteristics of teeth are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics preferably are spaced apart from a source fiber optic and receive light from the surface of the object/tooth being measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object/tooth being measured. Under processor control, the optical characteristics measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence, gloss and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention. A method of producing dental prostheses based on measured data also is disclosed. Measured data also may be stored and/or organized as part of a patient data base. Such methods and implements may be desirably utilized for purposes of detecting and preventing counterfeiting or the like. Preferably, a two stage spectral separation is utilized, preferably utilizing a diffraction grating and interference filters.
