Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for improving the accuracy of a digital three-dimensional representation of a dental object during scanning, the method comprising the steps of: generating a digital three-dimensional (3D) representation of the dental object based on registration and stitching of a plurality of 3D scan patches; obtaining new 3D scan patches in real-time during scanning; registering said new 3D scan patches to the digital 3D representation during scanning, whereby said scan patches form part of the digital 3D representation; selecting a sub-set of 3D scan patches among the obtained or registered 3D scan patches, wherein said selection is performed during scanning; and re-registering one or more 3D scan patches forming part of the digital 3D representation, wherein said re-registering is based on applying one or more transformations to the selected sub-set of scan patches, whereby the accuracy of a digital 3D representation is improved.
