Abstract

A method for generating a digital 3D representation of at least a part of an intraoral cavity, the method including 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; 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; wherein the scores for the surface points are found by at least one score-finding algorithm that takes as input at least the geometry part of the surface data for that surface point and surface data for points in a neighbourhood of that surface point.
