Abstract
Systems and computer implemented methods that include motion compensation in a three-dimensional (3D) scan. Motion compensation can include receiving 3D scans of a dentition, registering a distorted scan of the 3D scans with a previous scan and a subsequent scan of the 3D scans, estimating a motion trajectory from the previous scan to the subsequent scan, and calculating a corrected scan for the distorted scan by compensating for the motion trajectory from the previous scan to the subsequent scan.
