Abstract: A linearly-overlapping light measurement system “measurement head” having one or more linearly-overlapping modular light sources each having individual light sources arranged in a geometric pattern, the light sources being single- or multi-wavelength and programmable to generate light that is transmitted through and/or reflected from a work piece to be detected by linearly-overlapping modular light detectors having individual light detectors arranged in a geometric pattern. The “measurement head” also has linearly-overlapping modular light detectors arranged in a geometric pattern to receive light emitted by the light sources. A computer controller coordinating the operation of the light source array and light detector array to automatically sense and record the light transmittance and/or reflectance of one or more spectral ranges in real time from the work piece and then adjust the work being performed on the work piece to attain pre-determined standards. Reference feedback circuitry is provided for monitoring the light sources in each light source module. The reference feedback circuitry adjusts the operating parameters of a light source module to ensure that the intensity and the chromatic output of the light therefrom remains at a consistent level.

Abstract: A device for determining the surface topology and associated color of a structure, such as a teeth segment, includes a scanner for providing depth data for points along a two-dimensional array substantially orthogonal to the depth direction, and an image acquisition means for providing color data for each of the points of the array, while the spatial disposition of the device with respect to the structure is maintained substantially unchanged. A processor combines the color data and depth data for each point in the array, thereby providing a three-dimensional color virtual model of the surface of the structure. A corresponding method for determining the surface topology and associate color of a structure is also provided.
