Abstract

Disclosed herein is method for generating a digital 3D representation of at least a part of an intraoral cavity, the method comprising:
- recording a plurality of views containing surface data representing at least the geometry of surface points of the part of the intraoral cavity using an intraoral scanner, wherein the surface data also comprises color information;
- determining a weight for each surface point at least partly based on scores that are measures of belief of that surface point representing a particular type of surface;
- executing a stitching algorithm that performs weighted stitching of the surface points in said plurality of views to generate the digital 3D representation based on the determined weights; and
- wherein the scores for the surface points are found by at least one score-finding algorithm, wherein the at least one score-finding algorithm is a machine-learning algorithm trained on color images.
