Abstract: A 3D scanner system includes a scanning device capable of recording first and second data sets of a surface of an object when operating in a first configuration and a second configuration, respectively. A measurement unit is configured for measuring a distance from the scanning device to the surface. A control controls an operation of the scanning device based on the distance measured by the measurement unit, where the scanning device operates in the first configuration when the measured distance is within a first range of distances from the surface and the scanning device operates in the second configuration when the measured distance is within a second range of distances; and a data processor is configured to combine one or more first data sets and one or more second data sets to create a combined virtual 3D model of the object surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method for correlating at least one infrared 2D-image to a 3D-representation of at least a part of a tooth displayed in a graphical user-interface, of a hand-held scanning device, on a screen, comprising the steps of: obtaining a first set of 2D-images of the at least part of the tooth; forming a 3D-representation of the at least a part of the tooth from the first set of 2D-images; displaying, in the graphical user-interface, the 3D-representation; obtaining a second set of 2D-images, wherein the second set of 2D images are infrared 2D-images acquired within the at least part of the tooth; displaying, in the user-interface, at least one of the 2D-images from the second set of 2D-images; displaying, in the user-interface, a manipulator configured to change between 2D-images in the second set of 2D-images.
