Abstract: Color measuring systems and methods such as for determining the color or other characteristics of teeth are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics are spaced apart from a central source fiber optic and receive light reflected 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 color measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence 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.

Abstract: Methods for generating optical characteristics data of a dental object, including at least color characteristics, are disclosed. A probe is positioned in proximity to the dental object. The probe provides light to the object and receives light from the object, and the received light is coupled to a video camera, with the object positioned in the field of view of the camera. The optical characteristics data are generated based on camera data corresponding to the object and based on camera data corresponding to a color calibration standard generated with the color calibration standard in the field of view of the camera. The optical characteristics data may be stored in a record of a software database or used to prepare a second dental object.

Abstract: A spectrophotometer mouse is provided for making color spectrum measurements of desired areas on a surface over which the mouse is movable. The spectrophotometer mouse includes a housing shaped to conform to the hand of an operator, and a spectrophotometer in the housing having an input (such as a light receiving aperture) for measuring the color spectrum of the target area on the surface. The mouse has a position sensing encoder which is coupled to a programmed computer for identifying the position of the mouse on the surface. This programmed computer may be internal or external of the housing. The computer is used for locating the target area on the surface with reference to a pointer on the mouse, and then detecting when an operator has moved the mouse such that the input of the spectrophotometer is substantially coincident with the located target area. The computer automatically actuates the spectrophotometer so that the spectrum of the light from the target area is received at the input of the spectrophotometer and is measured. In addition to providing color spectrum measurements of target areas on a surface, the position sensing features of the mouse can also be operated as a typical computer-type mouse for command input to a graphical user interface. Thus, the operator can use the spectrophotometer mouse to measuring the color spectrum of target areas on the surface, or as a typical computer-type mouse.

Abstract: A printer that incorporates a spectrometry device includes a spectroscope, a distance measurer, and a spectrometry unit. The spectroscope includes a wavelength-selective interference filter on which light from a position of measurement in a medium is incident. The distance measurer measures the distance between the position of measurement and the spectroscope, and the spectrometry unit performs spectrometry at the position of measurement by using the spectroscope and correct a measured value obtained by the spectrometry based on the measured distance.

Abstract: A spectrometer includes a light source that emits a beam into a sample volume comprising an absorbing medium. Thereafter, at least one detector detects at least a portion of the beam emitted by the light source. It is later determined, based on the detected at least a portion of the beam and by a controller, that a position and/or an angle of the beam should be changed. The beam emitted by the light source is then actively steered by an actuation element under control of the controller. In addition, a concentration of the absorbing media can be quantified or otherwise calculated (using the controller or optionally a different processor that can be local or remote). The actuation element(s) can be coupled to one or more of the light source, a detector or detectors, and a reflector or reflectors intermediate the light source and the detector(s).
